Software Development Kit OpenCL™ on ARM Linux
The Mali OpenCL SDK provides developers with a framework and series of samples for developing OpenCL 1.1 applications on ARM Mali based platforms such as the Mali-T600 and above family of GPUs. The samples cover a wide range of use cases that utilize the Mali GPU to achieve a significant improvement in performance when compared to running on the CPU alone.
OpenCL is an open standard defined by Khronos that exposes the vast parallel processing capabilities of the GPU to the developer, to achieve improvements in performance and power efficiency. The samples are supported by tutorials with step-by-step guidance which describe best practices that should be used when targeting the Mali family of GPUs.

By downloading the packages below you ackowledge that you accept the End User Licence Agreement for the OpenCL SDK.
END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT FOR THE MALI OPENCL SDK
THIS END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT (“LICENCE”) IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU (EITHER A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL, OR SINGLE LEGAL ENTITY) AND ARM LIMITED (“ARM”) FOR THE USE OF THE DELIVERABLES ACCOMPANYING THIS LICENCE. ARM IS ONLY WILLING TO LICENCE THE DELIVERABLES TO YOU ON CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS IN THIS LICENCE.

1. DEFINITIONS.
“Authorised Purpose” means; (i) with respect to Deliverables other than the Samples, the right to use internally to execute Open CL applications and kernel programs on ARM based devices; and (ii) with respect to the Samples the right to develop Software Applications.
“Deliverables” means the software source code accompanying this Licence, and any printed, electronic or online documentation supplied with it, in all cases relating to the MALI OPENCL SDK.
“Samples” means either or both; (i) any deliverables included in the directory and which are marked “Samples”; and (ii) any files in the root directory titled “Common”
“Separate Files” means the files identified in Clause 4 below, which are subject to the terms of the licence agreements identified in Clause 4.
“Software Applications” means graphics application programs developed by you under this Licence that conform to the Khronos OpenCL application programming interface.
2. LICENCE GRANT.
DELIVERABLES: ARM hereby grants to you, subject to the terms and conditions of this Licence, a nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty free, worldwide licence to use and copy, internally only, the Deliverables solely for the Authorised Purpose.
3. RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF THE DELIVERABLES.
REVERSE ENGINEERING: Except to the extent that such activity is permitted by applicable law you shall not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any of the Deliverables. If the Deliverables were provided to you in Europe you shall not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any of the Deliverables for the purposes of error correction.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF LICENCED RIGHTS: The rights granted to you under this agreement may not be assigned, sublicenced or otherwise transferred by you to any third party without the prior written consent of ARM. You shall not rent or lease the Deliverables, or except as expressly provided above, share them with third parties.
TITLE AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS: You acquire no rights to the Deliverables other than as expressly provided by this Licence. The Deliverables are licenced not sold. ARM does not transfer title to the Deliverables to you. In no event shall the licences granted in Clause 2 be construed as granting you expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, licences to any ARM technology other than the Deliverables.
COPYRIGHT NOTICES: You shall not remove from the Deliverables any copyright notice or other notice and shall ensure that any such notice is reproduced in any copies of the whole or any part of the Deliverables made by you.
4. THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
The Deliverables contain files licenced from third parties which are subject to the relevant terms and conditions set out in the Schedule to this Licence (“Third Party Terms”). The Separate Files are delivered to you as part of the Deliverables for your convenience, and are expressly subject to the Third Party Terms. You hereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions imposed on you by the Third Party Terms. Further you hereby agree that ARM shall have no liability to you under the terms of this Licence in respect of the Separate Files.
5. NO SUPPORT.
ARM has no obligation to support or to continue providing or updating any of the Deliverables.
6. NO WARRANTIES.
YOU AGREE THAT THE DELIVERABLES ARE LICENCED “AS IS”, AND THAT ARM EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR OTHER TERMS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTIBILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

ARM does not seek to limit or exclude liability for death or personal injury arising from ARM’s negligence and because some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages the above limitation relating to liability for consequential damages may not apply to you.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LICENCE, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF ARM TO YOU IN AGGREGATE FOR ALL CLAIMS MADE AGAINST ARM IN CONTRACT TORT OR OTHERWISE UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LICENCE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE TOTAL OF SUMS PAID BY YOU TO ARM (IF ANY) FOR THIS LICENCE AND US$5.00.
