What's the different between IPC and openCL? Does openCL use IPC to communicate? If I want to accelerate my program? Which is more faster?

Hi,

Please take a look at the Linux IPC User's Guide in which the document of multiple-way of ARM-DSP communication should provide the info you want.

http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/latest/linux/Foundational_Components_IPC.html#multiple-ways-of-arm-dsp-communication

It lists the pros and cons of each methods. They requires different level of skills in terms of DSP programming. You should pick the one fits you best.

Thanks for you reply.

I have read what you post and I just want to know how openCL offload the kernel to the DSP. Or does openCL use ipc?

Yes, OpenCL uses IPC underneath.
