Thank you very much for the link about the openCL support in CALC.
I think it's very nice that the most of formulas can use openCL standard in
order to access multple CPU/GPU in the Computer.

But there are 2 kind of issue about that:
1) I have a i7 hd4000 laptop, and so no dedicated GPU but HD4000 standard
openCL ability of course.
I enebled in CALC the ability to use openCL but I CANNOT SEE my multiple CPU
option in the list of openCL options.

So I tried to install Khronos but it was a little difficult and anyway it
didn't work.

It seems that openCL was born in collaboration with AMD and so for the moment
AMD APU can work better.
Why don't put this ability working well and stable on the most common platform
like intel i7 and hd4000 ?

2) if we put the problem to use multiple cores on the CPU only on openCL, we
depend from another layer of driver, but if we can use directly the CPU in the
computers can be very useful.
For example fierfox, chrome, and also now explorer have put each new navigation
tab, like a new process, and this gives to them the ability to use fully the
multi-core CPU at full power, WITHOUT OPENCL.

i think that openCL can only partially solve the problem.

The finally point is this:
are we using wisely the resources of our muti-core CPU ?
