From http://www.khronos.org/news/events/detail/gdc_san_francisco_2009 and Khronos announces highlights from the News Conference and Developers Sessions at GDC 2009:

Streamlined OpenGL 3.1 Specification Released
Just nine months after OpenGL 3.0; Adds cutting-edge GPU functionality

The press release also mentions that OpenCL 1.0 implementations are close to shipping, which is extremely impressive considering that the specification was not released too long ago. In any case, this is going to be an interesting week for the OpenGL and OpenCL communities.

 

The Khronos Group has released the OpenCL 1.0 specification today, after an incredible effort to ratify a complex specification in a very short amount of time.

With all the major hardware vendors onboard, OpenCL has the potential to become the de-facto interface to access heterogeneous compute devices (be they GPUs or CPUs) on a wide variety of operating systems.
