A C++ GPU Computing Library for OpenCL
Boost.Compute is a GPU/parallel-computing library for C++ based on OpenCL.
The core library is a thin C++ wrapper over the OpenCL API and provides access to compute devices, contexts, command queues and memory buffers.
On top of the core library is a generic, STL-like interface providing common
algorithms (e.g. transform(), accumulate(), sort()) along with common
containers (e.g. vector<T>, flat_set<T>). It also features a number of
extensions including parallel-computing algorithms (e.g. exclusive_scan(),
scatter(), reduce()) and a number of fancy iterators (e.g.
transform_iterator<>, permutation_iterator<>, zip_iterator<>).
The full documentation is available at http://boostorg.github.io/compute/.
The following example shows how to sort a vector of floats on the GPU:

Boost.Compute is a header-only library, so no linking is required. The example above can be compiled with:
g++ -I/path/to/compute/include sort.cpp -lOpenCL
More examples can be found in the tutorial and under the examples directory.
Questions about the library (both usage and development) can be posted to the mailing list.
Bugs and feature requests can be reported through the issue tracker.
Also feel free to send me an email with any problems, questions, or feedback.
The Boost.Compute project is currently looking for additional developers with interest in parallel computing.
