I agree, but I have doubts to see OpenCL on linux before the end of the year. It might comes in proprietary drivers some time this year, but I would still only expect them to be available in fall or winter. And for open source drivers, we might get some developement version, but I have doubt we will get something usefull (even in developement version) before next year (see [1] for latest update, but note that both phoronix and Zack Rusin are usually over optimistic on schedules/features). That said, I trully believe OpenCL is definitively the way to go over GLSL. [1] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzE2Mw -- Cyrille Berger</body></html>
