The best resource about opencl

Mark's clear understanding and experience with the sparkling new technology is a site to behold. Even though right now the six episodes have yet to clear up some things for me I suggest listening and viewing these expertly created presentation; there is simply nothing better for the opencl enthusiast.

Outstanding quality

The production quality, presentation, and content are all suprisingly excellent. These shows are a pleasure to watch, and extremely helpful for someone coming to OpenCL from a single-core background (or transitioning from CUDA).
