Description-en: OpenCL device simulator
Oclgrind is an extensible OpenCL device simulator that provides a
plugin interface to facilitate the creation of tools to aid analysis
and development of OpenCL programs. Among the tools that Oclgrind
provides are various debugging aids, such as out-of-bounds memory
access checking, data-race detection, and an interactive debugger.
.
Oclgrind implements the OpenCL 1.2 runtime API, which makes
simulating an existing OpenCL program very straightforward - simply
prefix your usual application command-line with 'oclgrind'. There is
also a simple interface for simulating individual kernels in
isolation via the 'oclgrind-kernel' command.
