Combining a low power CPU with a multicore high-performance GPU on the AMD Embedded G-Series APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) opens up new processing opportunities for embedded applications. But how do you take full advantage of the processing power? What software is available and what can it do? How does OpenCL™ help you get the most processing performance possible from the AMD G-Series APU? This paper provides an introduction to the AMD G-Series APU and operating systems that support these devices. It also introduces the reader to the OpenCL framework and programming model and contains an in-depth tutorial on working with AMD’s Accelerated Parallel Processing Software Development Kit (AMD APP SDK) including creating your first OpenCL program.
