"Reykjavik (Iceland) – Considering the big news coming out of Intel this week (Larrabee) and the expected big News from Nvidia within the next two weeks (x86 CUDA), AMD is under pressure to match its rivals: AMD is making substantial changes to its GPGPU software strategy and announced at its GPG CTO Technology Day that it will ditch its Close-To-Metal platform and switch to OpenCL. "
Could this (the OpenCL part) be a good thing for OS/2-eCS? ???

I think, theoretically speaking, it could be.
But the same problem persists as with all new software, (and hardware), with respect to OS/2; who's going to develop/port/modify the software to utilize such a thing?
Clearly, OS/2 needs more developers/porters etc.
What this means is OS/2 needs new blood.
Of course, this is nothing new and is, in fact, the "same ol' same ol'".
As usual there's always hope :D
Nvidia has had a long, strong history of OpenGL support but nothing has come of that :C
