Altera OpenCL support for Stratix III device

There is an investment on the board vendor's part to make their board OpenCL ready. As a result I don't think Terasic would go back to their Stratix III based boards and spend time creating the necessary infrastructure needed for that. So it's not impossible but from a priorities perspective I would think Terasic would spend their time on new boards instead.

The way I look at it, don't think of it as the FPGA supporting OpenCL but rather the entire solution which includes the dev board as well as underlining software infrastructure that allows Altera's OpenCL runtime to commmunicate with the board. When you buy an OpenCL board you are buying a solution from the board vendor so that you can focus your kernel development and host application.
