 Depending on your build target, other higher priority backends may be enabled by default. To ensure the CPU backend is used, you must disable the higher priority backends either at compile time, e.g. -DGGML_METAL=OFF, or during run-time using the command line option `--device none`.
 
+## OpenCL

+This provides GPU acceleration through OpenCL on recent Adreno GPU.
+More information about OpenCL backend can be found in [OPENCL.md](./backend/OPENCL.md) for more information.

+### Android
+
+Assume NDK is available in `$ANDROID_NDK`. First, install OpenCL headers and ICD loader library if not available,
+
+```sh
+mkdir -p ~/dev/llm
+cd ~/dev/llm
+
+git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-Headers && \
+cd OpenCL-Headers && \
+cp -r CL $ANDROID_NDK/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/sysroot/usr/include
+
+cd ~/dev/llm
+
+git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-ICD-Loader && \
+cd OpenCL-ICD-Loader && \
+mkdir build_ndk && cd build_ndk && \
+cmake .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+  -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$ANDROID_NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake \
+  -DOPENCL_ICD_LOADER_HEADERS_DIR=$ANDROID_NDK/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/sysroot/usr/include \

+ninja && \
+cp libOpenCL.so $ANDROID_NDK/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/sysroot/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-android
+```
+
+Then build llama.cpp with OpenCL enabled,
+
+```sh
+cd ~/dev/llm
+
+git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp && \
+cd llama.cpp && \
+mkdir build-android && cd build-android

+
+### Windows Arm64
+
+First, install OpenCL headers and ICD loader library if not available,
+
+```powershell

+
+Then build llama.cpp with OpenCL enabled,
