While OpenCL Compute makes several valuable points about Heterogeneous Computing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of C++ Programming seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Compute Kernels. That said, the sections on Cross‑Platform Development are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in OpenCL, this could be a truly outstanding work.

OpenCL Compute is a comprehensive exploration of OpenCL that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 3 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4's discussion of Heterogeneous Computing is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that the conclusion seemed rushed, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
