That's the main advantage of OpenCL over GLSL, they were also designed to be 
used on CPU(s), when you ask the library/driver to run an OpenCL kernel, you 
are not supposed to know if it will be executed on CPU(s) or on GPU, it's the 
library/driver which "decide" what would be the fastest solution (or 
possible). In other word, the scheduling is the job of the driver. As well as 
is security.
