This is a great thing since OpenCL has been spiraling towards the abyss after its main proponent (Apple) abandoned it, and programers seemed to prefer the less buggy and less verbose CUDA anyway.
In history of computing there seems to be an advantage for technologies with a single "de facto" implementation that is a compatibility target.
- pjmlp 11y agoBeing a C only API, while CUDA always had C++ and Fortran support didn't help either.

- sklogic 11y agoThe biggest problem with OpenCL is that Google banned it (in favour of its own crippled RenderScript).
