About:
OpenCL Headers provides the essential C language header files required for developing applications that interface with the OpenCL API. These files define the functions, data types, and constants necessary to compile code for heterogeneous computing platforms. This package serves as a foundational dependency for building OpenCL-enabled software on macOS and Linux systems.

Key Features:

Official Khronos Group specifications
C language bindings for OpenCL API
Platform-independent header definitions
Required for OpenCL development toolchains

Use Cases:

Developing GPU-accelerated computing applications
Building OpenCL-compatible machine learning frameworks
Compiling scientific computing software with parallel processing

Alternatives:

vulkan-headers – Alternative Khronos API headers focused on graphics and compute, but not compatible with OpenCL code
