hi!
i'm very new to opencl and i have some questions. i've developed a new implementation of a support vector machine in java and now it's time to speed things up a little bit. ;) unfortunately i have no experience with opencl and before i start spending time on it, i'd like to know whether it's of any use to me. in my svm implementation i use a lot of scalar products of vectors (standard eucledian) and products of matrices with vectors. but not only in dimensions of 2, 3 or 4 like in opengl. in fact, the dimension will be quite big in general (100-1000 and more). now i wonder if opencl can provide me some speed boost for such calculations.
if yes, what is a good starting point for learning opencl, especially with jocl. this technology seems to be quite new and not much tutorials/beginner material can be found on the web. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
w.thumann
