How does it compare to VexCL (https://github.com/ddemidov/vexcl), Bolt (http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-paral...) and Thrust (https://developer.nvidia.com/thrust)?
... Thrust implements a C++ STL-like API for GPUs and CPUs. It is built with multiple backends. NVIDIA GPUs use the CUDA backend and multi-core CPUs can use the Intel TBB or OpenMP backends. However, thrust will not work with AMD graphics cards or other lesser-known accelerators. I feel Boost.Compute is superior in that it uses the vendor-neutral OpenCL library to achieve portability across all types of compute devices. ...
There's an ongoing discussion on possibilities for other backends for Thrust including mentions of AMD's Bolt: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/thrust-users/Xe2JkFy_hUk Regards, Sylwester -- http://www.igf.fuw.edu.pl/~slayoo/
