'That's where Intel is contributing heavily to the open-source SYCL specification (SYCL is pronounced like "sickle") that aims to do for GPU and accelerated computing what Java did decades ago for application development.'
I wondered what happened to OpenCL, but it turns out this is actually built on that. From the API reference guide: SYCL™ is a C++ programming model for OpenCL which builds on the underlying concepts, portability, and efficiency of OpenCL while adding much of the ease of use and flexibility of C++.
