AM5718: Can openMP. openCL be used together

Hello.

1. No, openMP is not required for DSP acceleration. OpenMP can be used to write a function that spans multiple DSP cores for increased parallelism.

2. Yes, openMP can be used along with openCL. See http://downloads.ti.com/mctools/esd/docs/openmp-dsp/index.html for some detail

On the AM5718, there is no need to use openMP for the DSP-accelerated functions as there is a single DSP as you point out. On the AM572x and AM574x products there are two DSP cores, so it can be used there. Or if writing code that will be used generally across the AM57xx products where there are 1- or 2-DSP cores you can use.

Best regards,

Dave

Separately from OpenCL, you can leverage the OpenMP accelerator model to offload portions of a function to the DSP. See http://downloads.ti.com/mctools/esd/docs/openmpacc/examples.html

For your second question, details on managing device frequencies / OPPs are located at http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/latest/linux/Foundational_Components/Kernel/Kernel_Drivers/Power_Management.html
