OpenCL is growing fast and various architectures now support compute-acceleration. This means that you have a lot of choice to find the right solution for your algorithm.

Useful peripherals
When working with various devices, you might find the below tips useful.
ARM
When working with those small cute computers, three things come in handy:
- a HDMI-switch (or monitor with more HDMI-inputs).
- A small keyboard+mouse which uses Bluetooth or only one USB-port. I use the Logitech-keyboard as shown at the right.
- A network-switch with enough free ports. Even though most boards have WIFI, good internet proofs itself to be valuable.
