The recently formed Khronos OpenCL Tooling Subgroup has been focused on developing and enhancing open source tools and components, targeted at embedded systems and heterogeneous computation applications; the new tools and resources are available to the entire OpenCL ecosystem.

The Khronos™ OpenCL™ working group has today released a maintenance update to OpenCL 2.2 to consolidate numerous bug fixes and clarifications to make the specification more precisely defined and more easily understood. In this maintenance release, the OpenCL C specification has now also been put into open source.
