I've optimized many algorithms over the years. One thing I've learned over that time is that the best way to optimize an algorithm depends upon the algorithm. There have been algorithms I've worked with that were memory limited, and so could not be optimized with a (cheap) FPGA. Other algorithms were easier to build within an FPGA than in software in the first place. For these reasons, OpenCL may work on some problems, but will probably not work on others--it depends both on the problem and on the hardware. Dan
