$ make

$ make

1. Installing OpenCL

• nVidia: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
• AMD: http://developer.amd.com/tools/hc/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx
• Intel: Intel SDK for OpenCL

2. Including OpenCL in the Project

• In the ‘Additional Include Directories’ field in ‘VC++ Directories’ add the following information depending on your graphics card.
• nVidia: - “$(CUDA_INC_PATH)”
• AMD: - “$(AMDAPPSDKROOT)\include”
• Intel: - “C:\Intel\OpenCL\sdk\include”

3. Linking OpenCL

• Choose ‘Linker-> General’.
• In the ‘Additional Dependencies’ field enter the following, again this is based on your card vendor.
  • nVidia: - “$(CUDA_LIB_PATH)”
  • AMD: - “$(AMDAPPSDKROOT)\lib\x86” (for 64 bit users you may need to change the x86 to x86_64)
  • Intel: - “C:\Intel\OpenCL\sdk\lib\x86” (for 64 bit users you may need to change the x86 to x64)
• Still in the ‘Linker’ submenu, select ‘Input’.
• In the ‘Additional Dependencies’ field click on the arrow that appears at the end of the field and choose Edit…
• In the dialog that appears enter “OpenCL.lib”
