There is also VexCL [0] and Boost.Compute [1]. Both are quite capable. I myself am working on something similar - it is called Aura but still a long way to go [2]. ViennaCL, VexCL and Boost.Compute focus on maximizing programmer productivity. Converting existing code from i.e. Matlab to accelerator hardware is trivial using these libraries and you get excellent performance quickly. Furthermore, NT2 doesn't get nearly as much publicity as it deserves [3]. Not only does it provide an incredible number of functions ready to use, but it also exploits the vector processing capabilities of modern CPUs. These capabilities are too often ignored by developers or left for non-optimal compiler optimizations to exploit. In my own library Aura, I focus on maximizing performance (over developer convenience). The target audience are developers of real-t

ime applications that need every last drop of performance from their hardware, while still maintaining a sane and cross-platform API. I strive for a Boost.Asio for accelerator developers. Aura has a already a rudimentary wrapper for clFFT, clBLAS is in the works. So the idea is to, for each platform, utilize optimal vendor-supplied library functions and combine them in a coherent interface.

In AMD releases APPML source code, creates clMath library
Boost.Compute (https://github.com/kylelutz/compute) - A C++ GPU Computing Library for OpenCL It's cool because it offers C++ developers an easy path to running code on GPUs and multi-core CPUs via an STL-like API. It's similar to NVIDIA's Thrust library but supports all OpenCL compatible devices (including AMD GPUs and Intel CPUs/accelerators). Documentation is here: http://kylelutz.github.io/compute/ P.S. It's still under active development and we're looking for more contributors with an interest in parallel computing and C++. Send me an e-mail if you're interested!
