Description-en: Development files to build a ICD Loader
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a multivendor open standard for
general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems that include
CPUs, GPUs and other processors.
.
This package provides a header file that allows a OpenCL implementation
to build a installable client driver (ICD). With a ICD, an OpenCL
implementation can be used by any OpenCL program without the need
to link the program to the specific OpenCL implementation.
.
For building OpenCL applications, installs the ocl-icd-opencl-dev package
instead.
