OpenCL Mid-Level Abstractions Project

For the impatient, look at c_example.c and ocl_interface.h for C version, and
look at f90_example.f90 and c_ocl_interface.f90 for the Fortran 90 version.

# Abstractions
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

This interface abstracts the actual OpenCL devices by providing logical
'performance' and 'auxiliary' devices.  The mappings of these logical devices
is determined at compile time.  Associated contexts and queues are also
created for each logical device.  See the examples in main.c and main.f90.

The interface also provides a hash-based registration of programs and
kernels.  OpenCL program source can be passed as a file name that will
be opened and converted into a string.

# Building:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

This project uses standard GNU Autoconf tools.  To list the supported
configuration options, do:

% ./configure --help

Additionally, this project supports the selection of most configuration
options through a 'machine' file that lists a set of AC_DEFINE-defined
environment variables, which will override any options passed to the
'configure' script.  A set of templates are provided in the top-level
directory of this project under the 'machine' sub-directory.  To use a
machine file, copy a template into the 'machine' directory, edit the
parameters and then run 'configure' with:

% ./configure --with-machine=your_machine_file_name

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Source examples
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

There are two examples, one in C and one in Fortran.  These are designed to
correspond heavily and have been tagged with 'step' labels so that
a line-by-line comparison is possible.

# All C functions are of the form:

err function_name(parameters)

# All Fortran functions are of the form:

function_name(parameters, err)

This is meant to be similar to the MPI interface.

# Documentation
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

Doxygen style documentation will be generated if the Makefile variable
'DOXYGEN' is defined and points to a valid doxygen executable is available.
The current configuration generates html, latex and manpage documentation.
