OpenCl is not OpenGL. It is more of a framework than an API. A high end |
| 4 |
machine may have a number of different OpenCL hosts, the cpu, vector |
| 5 |
cores built into the cpu as in the AMD APU line and intel's lame |
| 6 |
knockoff thereof. =P |

There is also OpenCL support in GPUs, Xeon Phi, FPGA and potentially |
| 9 |
other devices too. |

The game Planet Explorers (available on Steam) demonstrates how this |
| 12 |
should be used. You are given a menu at the start of the game that lists |
| 13 |
the available OpenCL implementations. You then select whatever device |
| 14 |
you want to use for OpenCL that day... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So there should not be eselect OpenCL, All gentoo needs to do is enforce |
| 17 |
standards on where the relevant libraries are stored and the application |
| 18 |
will select which one to use. |
