OpenCL. The aims and scope are a bit different from the Boost Compute
library. VexCL is closer in nature to the Eigen library while
Boost.Compute is closer to the C++ standard library. I don't feel that
Boost.Compute really fills the same role as VexCL and in fact VexCL
could be built on top of Boost.Compute.
