About The Project

Simple Image Compression is a simple image compression algorithm using K-Means algorithm. The project was created as research into the speedup achievable by using the GPU to perform the K-Means algorithm. The project is written in C and uses the OpenCL library, OpenMP API and STB-Image Libraries for reading and writing the images .
