Comments on this matter from the Khronos president:
> Khronos has talked about the convergence between OpenCL and Vulkan - a little clumsily as it turns out - as the message has been often misunderstood - our bad. To clarify:
> a. OpenCL is not going away or being absorbed into Vulkan - OpenCL Next development is active
> b. In parallel with a. - it is good for developer choice if Vulkan also grows its compute capabilities
> c. OpenCL can help b. through projects like clspv that test and push the bounds of what OpenCL kernels can be run effectively over a Vulkan run-time - and maybe inspire Vulkan compute capabilities to be expanded.
