Hey everyone, like the headline says I want to learn how to use OpenCL but I don't know where to start. I have some programming experience (Rust, Python, Pascal) but I don't even know how to install the requirements for OpenCL (let alone what they even are), mostly because most tutorials and guides are 7+ years old and the information from Krohnos themselves isn't ready yet (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Guide). If you have any advice how to start with OpenCL 3.0 please let me know (maybe it is alright to follow the tutorials for OpenCL 1 or 2 after all).
Basically, it is harder to start without vendor SDK, but it is totally possible. If you have a device with claimed opencl support the only thing you have to install is their vendor-provided driver. Usually (95%) that will provide you an OpenCL.dll / libopencl.so which you can load dynamically, get address of needed API function and use that in your code. To develop from C/C++ environment it is enough to have dynamic library in your system and https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Headers from here.
The approach of dynamically loading OpenCL.dll and getting function address to call was proposed by nvidia opencl sdk samples in something like 2009. The original link is https://developer.nvidia.com/opencl but now they are not downloading, but some guys on github have that code samples, for example here https://github.com/sschaetz/nvidia-opencl-examples
