Conjugate Gradient and OpenCL

I've just finished a conjugate gradient implementation for OpenCL. It has not performance yet, but I'm working on this to fix the bugs and/or optimize the code.

Here you are a PDF that makes an overview on the subject.

Nvidia's Next Generation: Fermi - key architectural highlights

Third Generation Streaming Multiprocessor (SM)

• 32 CUDA cores per SM, 4x over GT200
• 8x the peak double precision floating point performance over GT200
• Dual Warp Scheduler simultaneously schedules and dispatches instructions from two independent warps
• 64 KB of RAM with a configurable partitioning of shared memory and L1 cache

Second Generation Parallel Thread Execution ISA

• Unified Address Space with Full C++ Support
• Optimized for OpenCL and DirectCompute
• Full IEEE 754-2008 32-bit and 64-bit precision
• Full 32-bit integer path with 64-bit extensions
• Memory access instructions to support transition to 64-bit addressing
• Improved Performance through Predication

Improved Memory Subsystem

• NVIDIA Parallel DataCache™ hierarchy with Configurable L1 and Unified L2
• Caches
• First GPU with ECC memory support
• Greatly improved atomic memory operation performance

NVIDIA GigaThread™ Engine

• 10x faster application context switching
• Concurrent kernel execution
• Out of Order thread block execution
• Dual overlapped memory transfer engines

ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK) v2.0 Beta Program

What’s New in v2.0-beta4

• First beta release of ATI Stream SDK with OpenCL™ GPU support.
• ATI Stream SDK v2.0 OpenCL™ is certified OpenCL™ 1.0 conformant by Khronos.
• Added Microsoft® Windows® 7 support.
• Added native Microsoft® Windows® 64-bit support.
• Float comparisons in kernels no longer produce a runtime error.
• Various other issues from previous v2.0 beta releases have been resolved.
