The libmeltopengpu library for the target system contains some simple
support routines for hooks to OpenCL

OpenCL is an industrial standard for running numerical intensive
parallel computations on graphical processing units. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL and http://www.khronos.org/opencl/
for more. OpenCL provides a C-like dialect which is translated to
binary code for the GPUs.

I (Basile Starynkevitch) <basile@starynkevitch.net> am using the ATI
Stream implementation (currently 2.2) on a single ATI5850 or ATI5750
graphical card on a PC running Linux/Debian/AMD64 or
Linux/Ubuntu/AMD64.
