Abstract :
This paper presents the DistributedCL, a framework that provides the applications developed using the OpenCL interface location-transparent GPU processing. The application can explore distributed processing with no modification. The architecture of the framework and the programming model are presented, and the possible performance bottlenecks are discussed.
