Very interesting, thanks for such a detailed response! So in your personal opinion, do you think OpenCL is overall a better choice than CUDA unless you explicitly need CUDA-specific features? Your post makes me want to consider using OpenCL instead if it is a more "well-rounded" experience. The cross-platform benefit is nice but since I'm just beginning to be exposed to scientific computing I also want to have the best base to start with. Any opinion on difficulty of either one?
