I've been evaluating Cuda and OpenCL while trying to produce some target independent code. My impression is that while Cuda might not win, OpenCL will almost certainly lose. OpenCL seems to be a monster compromise interface which takes into account all the architectures of the members of a large consortium. It's the sort-of designed-by-committee api that a developer has to fight against to accomplish anything. Naturally its many years behind Cuda in features, etc. An open-source library with equivalent qualities to Cuda is needed- ie, a library intended to aid developers, allow abstract c++ to be easily become parallel code, provide reasonable tools and documentation etc. One promising example is amd's Hip "HIP allows developers to convert CUDA code to portable C++. The same source code can be compiled to run on NVIDIA or AMD GPUs." https
