Under the designation Of openCL (Open computing language) lies the open standard in the field of creating programs, which use parallel calculations of general purpose. With the aid of OpenCL it is possible to create code, calculated for systems, in the composition of which enter CPU and GPU. It is important that the use Of openCL is not connected with the license payments. By the development and advance Of openCL are occupied noncommercial formation khronos group, in the composition of which enter Apple, AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and other companies.
the Alpha- version Of openCL SDK, which can be found on Intel site , according to the company concept , must help developers to use such advantages of processors Intel core as the presence of several core and SSE expansion .

Although NVIDIA also has own similar technology : CUDA. Concerning AMD company, it considerably outdistanced Intel on the part of openCL support in its products. During August 2009 AMD released the beta- version of platform for development for x86- compatible processors with the use Of openCL, and in the beginning of September the realization Of openCL for CPU, created in AMD, obtained the certificate Of khronos. Later AMD again confirmed the adherence Of openCL. Finally, during May this year version ATI stream SDK 2.1 was presented which ensures programming with the use Of openCL for GPU and x86- compatible CPU AMD . Related Products :
