OpenCL is still very much in active use for real Hugh performance workloads
Next up at #IWOCL, we welcome our Keynote Speaker, Moritz Lehmann (Intel) to talk about his FluidX3D Lattice Boltzmann CFD software, written in #OpenCL. Sharing amazing optimisations to improve memory use and access.

After to crapshoot that was the launch of PVC/Alchemist, things are quite good these days on Intel GPUs.

SYCL looks pretty good.

And when Intel does decide to re-enter the GPGPU market, I expect the software to work.

This is a great list of misconceptions about compilers and explanations of what's really going on and why. These misconceptions are very common: I have had to explain probably all of them more than once. There's one main one missing: compilers are not magic, they follow well-specified engineering
