OpenCL has been on the tongues of the people at AMD for quite some time now. They’ve spent countless months if not years lambasting Nvidia for their proprietary CUDA based cGPU software development environment and as a result AMD has pushed for OpenCL support.
The only issue has been that AMD lacked that support themselves even though they consistently called Nvidia out for CUDA. This was all done while Nvidia has quietly and incrementally included OpenCL support within their GPU drivers and through various developer kits.
The majority of the changes listed for the ATI Stream v2.1 SDK include support for various OpenCL features as well as OpenCL extension support. Essentially, if you were to go through the new features, this entire update is completely dedicated to the support of OpenCL. You can view the list of new features here.
AMD has changed all of this with the release of their new ATI Stream SDK v2.1.
