Android smartphone as opencl usb compute device?


Is it possible to use android smartphone with opencl capability as usb plugged compute device? So I just plug it in and it automatically seen from opencl program, no need for any setups.

tried google search, found nothing


Solution

  • This is not readily possible. Some smartphones do support OpenCL, but the ARM GPU device is not available as remote device to a connected PC.

    Keep an eye out for PoCL-Remote though. This allows listing OpenCL devices from other computers on the network as local devices.
