Originally on GitHub and derived from samuel/go-opencl, this is a project with "highly opinionated OpenCL bindings for Go with some black magic".
This project is a more high-level wrapper as it hides some of OpenCL's concepts (such as Platform, Context, or Queue), to provide a more simplified approach.

On one hand a low-level wrapper that matches closely the C-API, yet also performs parameter checks on its own. As such, extensions may not be supported.
TODO marker in the source as some features are not implemented, for example pipes.
It contains several examples and demo applications.

A low-level wrapper. The readme shows a list of intended functions, which is about half finished.

- Last check of properties: 2022-08
- Last update of project: 2016-04
- Supported OpenCL version(s): 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 (one repository, different sub-packages)
This wrapper seems to be based on some auto-generated code that directly forwards pointers to the Go-API.
