SOCL -- a simple library of OpenCL wrappers to help folks get started
I've been doing some experiments in simplification.
OpenCL requires a fair bit of machinery just to get a simple experiment to run. SOCL is a set of wrapper functions to hide some of the machinery while folks learn the ins-and-outs of GPGPU programming. It isn't optimal, and it isn't meant to be, but it gets us a little closer to a "Hello World" type introduction program that is under 100 lines long.

I'm working on documentation, bear with me. The start can be found at http://www.bigNcomputing.org/tools/OpenCL
Tested against ATI Stream SDK V2.01 and a Radeon 5870
