Using of OpenCl at AVG in Windows Platform

The main topic of this thesis is the practical use of OpenCL at AVG company. AVG is looking for ways to decrease hardware requirement of their security product and also to decrease computation time of some algorithms. Using OpenCL is one way to achieve this requirement. Significant part of this thesis deals with optimization strategies for AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards as they are most common cards among users. Practical part of the thesis describes parallelization of two algorithms, their analysis and implementation. After that, the obtained results are presented and cases in which the use of OpenCL is beneficial are identified. As a part of implementation, library containing various utility functions which can aid programmers to implement OpenCL based code was developed
