OpenCL On Linux Is Still Not Too Easy, Widespread

Last I checked, their website said something along the lines of "we support both, and we don't care whether you use CUDA or OpenCL".

Yeah, that's what it says.

In reality, their CUDA performance is very good, while their OpenCL performance sucks, and they don't even support the most recent version. Compare that to how quickly they always roll out new versions of OpenGL.

It's pretty obvious which API NVidia really wants to succeed, and which one they are implementing because they think they need to.
