    <link>http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/14344/</link>
    <description><![CDATA[Since OS X and Nvidia are both pledging support for opencl, I think Ubuntu should too.  This way it is less work on the developer when creating an application that needs to use the hardware acceleration that the video card provides if it supports opencl.<br /><br />UPDATE: OpenCL in draft format http://digg.com/apple/Apple_s_OpenCL_standard_near_complete_in_just_six_months<br />

  <description><![CDATA[If this is truly open, then Linux will most likely HAVE to support it, else it would be an irrelevant attempt at replacing directx and well, it wouldn't matter that much for Linux we would be screwed either way.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[OpenCL is not closed, just like OpenGL. SGI created OpenGL internally, just like Apple did with OpenCL. In fact, Apple turned OpenCL over to the Khronos Group, the same group that oversees OpenGL.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[OpenCL has NOTHING to do with directX.. OpenGL is for graphics, OpenCL is more for performing computations on the GPU/CPU. <br /><br />Although you can do maths with opengl too, its not ideal.]]></description>
