How can it be used effectively? This paper helps to explain.įirst, let’s briefly see why it is worth using an Intel® GPU. Intel® Graphics Technology is essentially a full-fledged processor and, accordingly, capable of not only displaying an image on the screen and accelerating video, but also is capable of performing ordinary general-purpose calculations. From the majority of entry level devices with Intel Atom® processors, to some servers with Intel® Xeon® E3 processors, and the whole range of Intel® Core™ processors, have the integrated graphics core onboard. How many Intel processor cores do you have on your computer? If you use an Intel® CPU-based system, in the vast majority of cases you will need to add one to your answer. This article provides an introduction to the Intel® C for Metal Development Package, a software development package that is available publicly. C for Metal is a general graphics processing unit (GPU) programming language with an explicit single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) programming model that lets users achieve maximal performance on Intel® Processor Graphics.
