OpenCL Plugin for Unreal Engine 4

OpenCL Plugin for Unreal Engine 4

This plugin helps you to link OpenCL with your UE projects. It is easy to link with OpenCL on OS X because it's already installed as a global framework. But on windows it is not trivial. If you want to add/replace for other version or platform, you can replace the header files from the Khronos OpenCL Registry and add/replace the OpenCL.lib files in ThirdParty/OpenCL/Lib from OpenCL SDKs of the SDK providers (Intel/ATI/NVIDIA). The OpenCL.lib files help you to link with OpenCL.dll which installed on system with the drivers. (It is not recommended to link with OpenCL.dll directly.)

Supported Platform

Tested on Unreal Engine 4.7.6 in OS X, Windows on Intel CPU/GPU, NVIDIA GPU. I've tested on OS X 10.10.3 (Intel Ivy Bridge, GT 650M, GTX 980) and Windows 8.1. All suggestions for other platforms are welcome.

Known Issues

• On windows, It's failed to run editor on Debug mode. (Development mode works well)
