GPU Ocelot facilitates research and development on several fronts. Ocelot supports several backend execution targets – a PTX emulator, NVIDIA GPUs,AMD GPUs, and a translator to LLVM for efficient execution of GPU kernels on multicore CPUs. NVIDIA’s PTX virtualinstruction set architecture is used as adevice-agnostic program representation that captures the data-parallel SIMT execution model ofCUDA applications. Ocelot supports CUDA applications and provides animplementation of the CUDA Runtime API enabling seamless integration. GPU Ocelot is an open-source dynamic JIT compilation framework for GPU compute applications targetinga range of GPU and non-GPU execution targets.
