OpenCL Language
The programming language used to write computation kernels is based on C99 with some limitations and additions. It omits the use of function pointers, recursion, bit fields, variable-length arrays, and standard C99 header files. The language is extended to easily use parallelism with vector types and operations, synchronization, functions to work with work-items/groups. It has memory region qualifiers: __global, __local, __constant, and __private. Also, many built-in functions are added.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to.... The feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
