OpenCL, basically. We have all of these different kinds of processors that are capable of really, really maximizing like the data flow, but a programmer needs to be able to access that power. And so, OpenCL is one way to do that. The gateway, and there are others, OpenCL is not the only one, but I've only ever seen OpenCL, everyone seems to be using it. I mean, you might notice that Microsoft isn't on this list, this is an old specification paper, it could be that Microsoft has come to the table, I don't know, I haven't checked. But certainly, the jobs in film that I've worked on, worked in, and there have been a few, OpenCL or other similar technology has been the go-to solution. So I don't know what other people are using, but OpenCL is quite, quite the popular solution. Okay, and quite powerful. So that's libclc, is the library that you're looking at there, and that's BSD MIT dual license implementation of the library requirements of the OpenCLC programming language as specified by (28/54)
