- Control over all GPUs in your program through simple, fast GPU selection functions. Jacket automatically handles communication between the GPU devices, without the need to launch bulky parallel computing workers
- GINFO, GSELECT, GSYNC, are all extended to handle multiple devices
OpenCL Details:
- Support for single precision, floating point, real, and complex types
- Support for array math, FFTs, element-wise operations, and more
