Probably just because Nvidia cards dominate the market for most GPGPU use cases.

  OpenCL is cross-platform, so it would support nvidia, ATI, Intel, CPUs, etc.

    AFAIK only OpenCL 1.1 (or 1.2?) is available on nvidia though, not OpenCL 2.0 or 2.1. So, unfortunately, if you want to support nvidia (eg AWS GPU instances), then OpenCL may not be the best choice :-(

      Oh, I didn't realize it was that bad. Looks like they barely implemented 1.2 and haven't announced support for 2.x at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL#Timeline_of_vendor_implementations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL#Timeline_of_vendor_impl...

        If someone made a decent OpenCL 2.X to PTX compiler I think they would do pretty well.
