OpenCL

[Marko Jevtic]

Are there any current ideas about adding OpenCL to Ignite framework ? Like enhancing current computations with ability to execute on GPU if applicable?

I could be wrong, but I thought that OpenCL was all about parallel local
processing across multiple cores and CPUs. Do you think there is a use case
for distributing computations there? If yes, wouldn't users just use JOCL (
http://www.jocl.org/) to interact with OpenCL jobs from Ignite jobs? Or do
you think additional integration is possible here?

Yes, OpenCL is about parallel local processing, but any job that can be distributed can be parallelly processed.
Main advantage that I see here is enabling an Ignite GPU node or nodes, where vast amount of data that can be processed distributatively can be routed to those nodes.
For example:
