▶The Death of OpenCL Anonymous 03/17/18 (Sat) 14:21:42 No.884111>>884114 [Watch Thread][Show All Posts]
A few years ago, I was really enthusiastic about OpenCL and it seemed like everyone else on the internet was as well. What happened? I started looking around the other day for some introductory documentation and the most recent stuff I could find was from ~2013. I'm really regretting not learning it now. Is OpenCL dead? Has Nvidia completely fucked us?

It would probably be replaced by Vulkan compute.

What about non-graphic accelerator cards? Are we moving back to a paradigm of a new API for every accelerator?

CUDA had the first mover advantage and NVIDIA cucked OpenCL performance.

Vulkan treats every device as a resource node, you query the node for features it has, then use those features, it doesn't have to be about graphics.

Okay; this is nice. In that case, it make sense that OCL is fading.

Fading? It's being merged into vulkan.

Even better.
