Think of it as a friendly deep-dive into OpenCL, GPU Computing, Parallel Programming, Heterogeneous Computing—with enough structure to skim and enough depth to grow into.
ISBN: 9798278959335 Published: December 12, 2024 OpenCL, GPU Computing, Parallel Programming, Heterogeneous Computing, Compute Kernels, High‑Performance Computing, GPGPU, Cross‑Platform Development, C Programming, C++ Programming
What you’ll learn
Build confidence with Compute Kernels-level practice.
Spot patterns in Cross‑Platform Development faster.
Turn C Programming into repeatable habits.
Connect ideas to read, 2026 without the overwhelm.
Who it’s for
Students who need structure and memorable examples. Skimmers and deep divers both win—chapters work standalone.
How to use it
Skim the headings, then re-read only what sparks a decision. Bonus: end sessions mid-paragraph to make restarting easy.
Okay, wow. This is one of those books that makes you want to do things. The GPU Computing framing is chef’s kiss. (Side note: if you like Player Experience Design in 20 Minutes (Coffee Break Series), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
