[section Hello World]
The hello world example gives a simple application that prints the name of
the default compute device on the system.
The [classref boost::compute::system] class provides access to the OpenCL
platforms and devices present on the host system.
Compute devices are represented with the
[classref boost::compute::device device] class.
[import ../example/hello_world.cpp]
[hello_world_example]
[endsect] [/ hello world]
[section Transferring Data]
Before any computation occurs, data must be transferred from the host to the
compute device. The generic [funcref boost::compute::copy copy()] function
provides a simple interface for transfering data and the generic
[classref boost::compute::vector vector<T>] class provides a container for
storing data on a compute device.
The following example shows how to transfer data from an array on the host to
a [classref boost::compute::vector vector<T>] on the device and then back to
a separate `std::vector<T>` on the host. At the end of the example both
`host_array` and `host_vector` contain the same values which were copied
through the memory on the compute device.

[section Transforming Data]
The following example shows how to calculate the square-root of a vector of
`float`s on a compute device using the [funcref boost::compute::transform
transform()] function.
