The MOSIX group announces the release of the Virtual OpenCL (VCL) cluster platform version 1.14. This version includes the SuperCL extension that allows micro OpenCL programs to run efficiently on devices of remote nodes. VCL provides an OpenCL platform in which all the cluster devices are seen as if they are located in the hosting-node. This platform benefits OpenCL applications that can use many devices concurrently. Applications written for VCL benefit from the reduced programming complexity of a single computer, the availability of shared-memory, multi-threads and lower granularity parallelism, as well as concurrent access to devices in many nodes. With SuperCL, a programmable sequence of kernels and/or memory operations can be sent to remote devices in cluster nodes, usually with just a single network round-trip. SuperCL also offers asynchronous communication with the host, to avoid the round-trip waiting time, as well as direct access to distributed file-systems. The VCL package can be downloaded from mosix.org.
