介绍
一般我们一门语言，首先都是从最简单的Hello World开始。但是对于OpenCL C和CUDA C，GPU是用来完成并行计算的好帮手，所以最简单的一维向量相加便成了这两种特殊语言的Hello World
4-17更新，在更改了部分代码后成功运行
在Mac上失败的经历
众所周知，Apple已经在其最新的系统（包括Mac和iOS）中抛弃了OpenCL，继而转向Metal。
以下是苹果官方的介绍：
Metal 是 macOS、iOS 和 Apple TVOS 中内建的图形和计算技术。通过这项技术，主处理器 (CPU) 和图形处理器 (GPU) 可以更高效地协同工作，从而在游戏中提供更流畅的图形性能，并加快高性能媒体应用的运行速度。
在MacOS High Sierra中，OpenCL的版本是1.2。我最刚开始因为版本的原因，改动了/Library/Framework/OpenCL.Framework下的一些东西（关闭了rootless机制，强制使用root命令）。结果花了11个小时重装Mac。。。
后来因为不能更改，便开始做一维向量相加的测试。很遗憾的是每次到创建内核的时候都失败了。初步的想法还是和OpenCL.Framework中的东西有关（无奈不想再重装，所以只是放出结果，不再Mac上做测试了，后续如果有时间会在其他平台上面做测试。）
错误的结果
断点调试中kernel
执行了创建kernel后
这里就发现了一个问题：之前kernel的值变为
0x0000000000000000，然后执行内核赋值。
也就是说内核没有创建成功，最后的结果算出来都是0。
错误的结果
源码（内核源码和c++源码）
注意改./Vadd.cl为自己的内核源码路径。

个人的一点想法
苹果宣布其未来的系统不支持OpenCL，决定了OpenCL悲惨的命运，没有自家人支持的OpenCL路又会在何方。现在市场上成熟的就只剩下CUDA了，而使用CUDA需要NVIDIA的设备。那么其它GPU呢？不说AMD（有实力研制），很多嵌入式（包括绝大部分的安卓手机）设备都是通过OpenCL实现GPU加速的。一般设备现在还真的是难以用GPU做计算，也许在未来会出现更好的专门针对GPU的加速框架出现吧。

可以更改第79行和92行的CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU，查看不同设备的运行情况。可选设备
CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL // 选取全部支持OpenCL的设备
CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU // 仅选取CPU
CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU // 仅选取GPU
输出运行结果：
// CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL
Output is correct
Time consume(s): 9.128000
// CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU
Output is correct
Time consume(s): 7.775000
// CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU
Output is correct
Time consume(s): 5.408000

失败的原因分析
一般的情况下，Intel 7代以后的CPU都支持OpenCL（截止2020年最新版本是OpenCL 2.2），仔细对比了两次的代码，发现了还是在前面初始化设备的时候出现了问题。clGetPlatformIDs，clGetDeviceIDs两个函数以及最重要的两个malloc，第60和85行，分别是给平台和设备分配足够的内存，第一次在Mac上操作的时候这些细节没有注意，导致内核总是创建不成功。
