clspv
A compiler that transforms OpenCL C code into Vulkan compute shaders, enabling GPU compute on Vulkan platforms.
What is clspv?
Clspv is a compiler that transforms OpenCL C code into Vulkan compute shaders, enabling developers to run GPU-accelerated compute workloads on Vulkan platforms. It bridges the gap between OpenCL's programming model and Vulkan's API by converting OpenCL kernels into SPIR-V modules that can be executed as Vulkan compute shaders. This allows existing OpenCL codebases to target Vulkan-compatible hardware without requiring native OpenCL driver support.
GPU compute developers working with OpenCL who want to target Vulkan platforms, graphics engineers porting OpenCL workloads to Vulkan, and researchers needing cross-platform GPU acceleration.
Developers choose Clspv because it provides a proven, conformant compilation path for OpenCL on Vulkan, enabling code reuse across platforms without vendor-specific implementations. Its integration with LLVM and SPIRV-Tools ensures robust, standards-compliant shader generation.
