Welcome to OpenCL for Python's documentation!

This is yet another set of Python bindings for OpenCL.

.. warning:: This project currently is in a beta release state.

Features: +++++++++++

• Python 2 and Python 3 compatibility.

• Supports OpenCL 1.1

• Discoverable properties and methods: No more ctx.get_info(pyopencl.context_info.DEVICES) just do ctx.devices

• Tight integration with ctypes <http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html>_::

  import opencl as cl from ctypes import c_float ctx = cl.Context() a = cl.empty(ctx, [2, 3], ctype=c_float)

• Call kernels like a python function with defaults and keyword arguments::

  import opencl as cl from ctypes import c_float, c_int

  source = '__kernel void foo(__global float*a, int b, float c) ...' ...

  Create a program and context

  foo = program.foo foo.argnames = 'a', 'b', 'c' foo.argtypes = cl.global_memory(c_float, ndim=2), c_int, c_float

  Equivalent to def foo(a, b=1, c=2.0):

  foo.defaults = 1, 2.0

  event = foo(queue, a)

• Memory objects support indexing and slicing::

  mem2 = memobj[:, 1, :-1]
