OpenCL has a strange beauty that made us keep visiting this topic again and again. And finally, after making a big dive, we managed to port Presto on OpenCL.

At this point though, we cannot give a date as to when this port will be publicly available. But we want to inform our users that we are aware of the need and we are always pushing the hardware to the limits.

The available screenshots show three distinct examples of our work-in-progress technology, i.e. Thea Presto OpenCL driver, along with the already established technology. These examples, are all shown during interactive rendering (which is somewhat more challenging) running in parallel with the other Presto CPU and/or CUDA drivers.

With the introduction of support of OpenCL in Thea Presto we will have the most robust platform supporting all ranges of NVIDIA, AMD and Intel hardware (including Xeon Phi).
