This command creates the `libldpc_cl.so` shared library. To perform this build successfully, only the OpenCL header `(/usr/include/CL/opencl.h)` and library `(/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenCL.so)`are required, they implement OpenCL API support which is not hardware dependent.

At runtime, to successfully use hardware acceleration via OpenCL, you need to install vendor specific packages which deliver the required drivers and tools to make use of their GPU (Nvidia, Intel...) , fpga (Xilinx, Intel) or CPU (Intel, AMD, ARM...) through OpenCL.

A mechanism to select ldpc implementation is also available in the `ldpctest` phy simulator via the `-v`option, which can be used to specify the version of the ldpc shared library to be used.
