For a minute there you had me hopeful.

Wikipedia says OpenCL is:

That is, as I understand it, it's a way of using a GPU as a CPU, not using it for graphics processing. Ati have an OpenCL demo because they want to allow people to access their GPUs as Floating point processors, like nVidia's CUDA (I'm not sure from the Wikipedia page whether CUDA is accessable via OpenCL).

OpenCL isn't a graphics language like DirectX or OpenGL are. I'd like Ati to be convinced to wholeheartedly support OpenGL.
