why the heck even use openCL?! leave a openCL layer there for the unwashed masses, but provide a decent API for anyone wanting exactly what the product is.

- m_mueller 10y agoWell, the problem is that Intel started with something way worse than OpenCL when they brought their first Phi to market: OpenMP. The claim was to just wrap your loops in OpenMP directives and everything will be fine. Yea well... If they had went full on OpenCL, including a unified programming for vector and multicore parallelism (the way CUDA works), I think Phi might have taken off much more already.
