General-purpose programming on the GPU has many use cases apart from deep learning, e.g. image processing, computer vision, offline rendering and other high performance computing applications. OpenCL allows you to have a single code-base working on NVidia, AMD and Intel GPUs without having to recompile or put any special effort - the same kernel that works on NVidia will work anywhere.
