OpenCL Announced

on 06/08/2009, filed in Home > Apple

OpenCL is a new open standard for graphics where all the major graphics cards manufacturers are involved, relying on the tried-and-tested C programming language to optimize your hardware configuration automatically for the best performance possible. OpenCL is, in essence, an API for developers to harness the power of GPUs for computing (non-graphics) purposes. Thanks to GPUs, tasks such as video-compression are possible in your OS, probably another reason why NVIDIA is Apple’s partner-in-crime.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
