★★★★☆
I absolutely loved OpenCL Compute! It completely changed my perspective on OpenCL. At first I wasn't sure about C Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Programming is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in GPGPU. What I appreciated most was how the book made Parallel Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

OpenCL Compute offers a compelling take on OpenCL, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Programming is excellent, I found the sections on C Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about High‑Performance Computing that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing GPU Computing more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Programming will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Heterogeneous Computing, if not the definitive work.
