We all know that browser accelerated 3D graphics are coming and that this technology solution – however instantiated – is going to be a tremendous money maker.
WebCL is a technology to watch for browser accelerated 3D graphics. The release of the webCL 1.0 specification is the latest evolution in the Khrnos effort to bring 3D browser acceleration to the Internet.
WebCL 1.0 defines a JavaScript binding to the Khronos OpenCL standard for heterogeneous parallel computing. WebCL enables web applications to harness GPU and multi-core CPU parallel processing from within a Web browser, enabling significant acceleration of applications such as image and video processing and advanced physics for WebGL games.
