see http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/OpenMP what advantages would OpenCL have over OpenMP and pthreads? OpenMP and pthreads are somewhat different beasts suiting two somewhat different niches. Where would OpenCL overlap? Would it be a better or worse fit than the others for different scenarios? Probably supporting three different MP schemes is too crowded.
