WebCL stands for Web Computing Language (English for web calculation language ) and is a component of web browsers that enables OpenCL to be integrated into JavaScript code. This should make computationally intensive applications ( physics engines , video processing ...) on the web feasible without plug-in . Version 1.0 is compatible with OpenCL 1.1 and 1.2.
Implementations
No web browser currently supports WebCL directly. However, there are experimental extensions to existing projects that retrofit WebCL support. No further development of the API towards OpenCL 2.0 and implementation of WebCL 1.0 in the main browser is currently visible.
