If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: OpenCL, GPU Computing, Parallel Programming, Heterogeneous Computing presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
ISBN: 9798278959335 Published: December 12, 2024 OpenCL, GPU Computing, Parallel Programming, Heterogeneous Computing, Compute Kernels, High‑Performance Computing, GPGPU, Cross‑Platform Development, C Programming, C++ Programming
What you’ll learn
Build confidence with Compute Kernels-level practice.
Spot patterns in Cross‑Platform Development faster.
Turn C Programming into repeatable habits.
Connect ideas to read, 2026 without the overwhelm.
Who it’s for
Students who need structure and memorable examples. Skimmers and deep divers both win—chapters work standalone.
How to use it
Skim the headings, then re-read only what sparks a decision. Bonus: end sessions mid-paragraph to make restarting easy.
The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the Parallel Programming connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like WebGL Compute (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the Cross‑Platform Development arguments land.
