OpenCL is a proposed framework for GPGPU-like computing. I worked at ARM in their Belgian office, and when they announced considering shutting us down, one of the alternative proposals was to redesign the technology we were working on to suit OpenCL. It wouldn't have been trivial but it was certainly possible. ARM never took the proposal under consideration, either because they're not interested in OpenCL or because they have different plans lined up for it.
