Fixed it. Up until now I really heard other words, now I don’t understand how I could even hear those words.

The image – which was taken from http://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/developers/library/2012-pan-pacific-road-show-March/Khronos-Overview-China-Mar12.pdf – shows the current state of Khronos-technologies on Android. Is simply states “Not yet adopted” which doesn’t tell us anything. I think that directly after the launch of Windows 8 we’ll get some answers.

Neil Trevett wasnt saying “CUDA is almighty to be adopted in the mobile space”, I heard that as “CUDA is unlikely to be adopted in mobile space”.

General comments: About OpenCL in mobile, I think its a safe bet to speculate iOS will likely expose OpenCL in the future to third-party applications as part of the SDK. It is unclear whether it will come to Android. Jason Sams, Google employee who is one of the graphics architects working on Android, has stated that there are no plans to include OpenCL as part of the standard Android SDK. Google wants to push Renderscript. I guess vendors might make OpenCL implementations available as an extension.
