Thus in some sense khronos is graphics vendors.

This sort of completely undermindes OpenCL what the hell was Khronos thinking. Or was there simply too much pressure from the graphics vendors?

I think there is no need in compute shaders to choose magic numbers for number of groups, humber threads in group and etc. I can make image processing via shaders and don’t think about magic numbers, shared memory and other OpenCL/CUDA problems.

NVIDIA have yet to update the DSA spec to include newer functions from recent GL versions.

Too bad there is still no Direct State Access and bind less textures.
