But we only have influence in HPC. Thus if that is true, then we don't have
any influence anyhow. But I don't think that's always true. Especially if
you look at OpenACC/OpenMP/Fortran (even some new things in C++).
I agree that OpenCL still matters outside of HPC. I only meant that it
might not matter in the future for HPC, which is the only area where our
decision have any influence.
