Among the changes for Portable OpenCL 0.6 is implementing an optimized kernel library for x86_64/SSE, preliminary support for ARM on Linux, multi-threading at the work group granularity using pthreads, region-based customized memory allocator, automatic vectorization of work groups, installable client driver (ICD) support, event profiling support, and other changes.
