It seems that GPU on our Android device is performing the same role as our VGA on PC. But, Android is just growing faster recently, so do all GPUs device support all those libraries?
After investigating by reading lots of articles, etc, I figured out that GPU on our Android device are still limited. Few GPUs supports OpenCL library. And what does OpenCL really do?
OpenCL, Open Computing Language, is recently used for non-graphical computing, like image processing, vector computation, matric computation, etc. See sample from Nvidia for more details by clicking here.
Here are Android GPUs that support OpenCL.
