I am to learn OpenCL and wanted to start out easy.
I found and modified this hello world example abit but nothing essential.

// Abstract: A simple "Hello World" compute example showing basic usage of OpenCL which
// calculates the mathematical square (X[i] = pow(X[i],2)) for a buffer of

The results of the hello world example was : Computed ‘0/1024’ correct values!
Changing abit around, such it doest compare the results as
result[i] == data[i]*data[i]
but
(result[i] - data[i]*data[i] ) < 10e-6
i get all values correct. I now wonder for the reasons. All data are stored on the host as:
float data[DATA_SIZE]; // original data set given to device
float results[DATA_SIZE]; // results returned from device
I am compiling using visual studio 2010 and wonder how two floats a == b are evaluated, what precision do it need to have to be equal.
Should i always assume that the calculations on my GPU is correct for difference < 10e-8 ? Will this be different with a newer card? I have ordered a HD 7970.
Last, if anyone have some really nice get started guides, i am interested.
Heres a greate answer for the question.
Summary: The cpu stores the values with higher bit(80bit) precision than float (32bit) when doing intermediate operations as result[i] < in[i]*in[i].
OpenCL Floating point precision
