When we have nice libraries like OpenCL, OpenGL and OpenMP, I am so glad we have Microsoft to screw it up. Congratulations to Redmond: Another C++ API I cannot read, and a scientific compute library I hopefully never have to use. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh265136(v=vs.110).aspx The annoying part is, with this crap there will never be a standard OpenCL DLL in Windows.

Hi Sturla, It has been several months now since AMP is there, I wouldn't care about it. You also forgot about OpenAcc, the accelerator sister of OpenMP, Intel's PBB (with TBB, IPP, ArBB that will soon make a step in Numpy's world), OmpSS, and so many others. I wouldn't blame MS for this, IMHO Intel does a far better job at the moment, and we are only starting consolidation now that everyone has shown its cards.
