Altera RTE for OpenCL Getting Started Guide

2015.05.04
OCL005-15.0.0
The Altera RTE for OpenCL Getting Started Guide describes the procedures you follow to install the
Altera
®
Runtime Environment (RTE) for OpenCL
™
. This document also contains instructions on how to
deploy an OpenCL
(1)
application with the RTE.
The RTE is a subset of the Altera Software Development Kit (SDK) for OpenCL
(2)
(AOCL). Unlike the
AOCL, which provides an environment that enables the development and deployment of OpenCL kernel
programs, the RTE provides tools and runtime components that enable you to build and execute a host
program, and execute precompiled OpenCL kernel programs on target accelerator boards.
OpenCL is a C-based open standard for the programming of heterogeneous parallel devices. For more
information on the OpenCL Specification version 1.0, refer to the OpenCL Reference Pages. For detailed
information on the OpenCL application programming interface (API) and programming language, refer
to the OpenCL Specification version 1.0.
Attention: If you require OpenCL kernel development and deployment functionalities, download the
AOCL. Refer to the Altera SDK for OpenCL Getting Started Guide for more information.
Do not install the RTE and the AOCL on the same host system.
Attention: If you require OpenCL kernel development and deployment functionalities that target the
Cyclone
®
V SoC Development Kit, refer to the Altera SDK for OpenCL Cyclone V SoC Getting
Started Guide for more information.
