OpenCL is a programming language that enables developers to write code that harnesses the power of GPUs for parallel computing. OpenCL can be used to create programs that can execute on a wide variety of devices, from CPUs to GPUs to FPGAs. OpenCL code is written in a C-like language, and can be run on devices from a wide range of vendors. OpenCL has been used to create some impressive applications, including a program that used OpenCL to break the world record for the fastest floating point operation.
