HPCwire has posted a blog on the fast paced OpenCL efforts underway at the Khronos Group. Version 1.0 of OpenCL is currently scheduled to be released in early December at SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 in Singapore. “If they succeed, that’s got to be some kind of industry spec development record—basically from prototype to final in 6 months” wrote Michael Feldman, editor of HPCwire. Khronos will be presenting an OpenCL technical briefing and reception at SC08 on Monday, November 17. Anyone who is interested can attended at no charge. Appetizers and cold beer will be provided!
