    Take that with a grain of salt, but at first glance this milestone is a logical progression from the previous one. It's always tempting to view this as a competition between independent development efforts but I don't think that's actually the case.
    Thanks for the reply. I actually don't care much about OpenCL, but the way the article was written, something didn't sound quite right...

      Looking at it through the web page, I saw that he pulled from Francisco's tree.
      So I sure wouldn't consider it fully independent efforts.
      Most of the work seems to be in r600/llvm.
