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 Compute Kernels. 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 High‑Performance Computing is excellent, I found the sections on Cross‑Platform Development less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Software Development more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for High‑Performance Computing will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Parallel Programming, if not the definitive work.
