OpenCL, (Open Computing Language)
an open standard for cross-platform, task-based as well as data-based parallel programming of CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, DSPs, including the C99 based programming language OpenCL C. OpenCL C forbids recursion, and omits function pointers, bit fields and variable-length arrays, but has fixed-length vector types, supporting SIMD instructions if available on the target platforms. OpenCL 2.0 adds features like nested parallelism and shared virtual memory, version 2.1 extends OpenCL C to a subset of C++14. OpenCL is maintained by the nonprofit technology consortium Khronos Group, adopted by Apple[1], Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, Nvidia, Altera, Samsung, Vivante, Imagination Technologies and ARM [2].
