Will WebCL in crosswalk 17 + upgrade the app performance?

[Shaul_H_]

Hello, I read that in crosswalk 17 and above there is going to be a webcl option.  does this mean that applications will work better and much smoother?  it says that webcl gives the app the option to use the internal gpu... but i thought it is already an option in crosswalk, so i was wandering what is the difference and how can we use this to make our apps faster in future crosswalk versions?

Thanks for your time,

Shaul.

WebCL is an API that you can use from JavaScript to implement commands like those you would use in an OpenCL app. It is not a magic elixir that will make regular JS code faster. You have to explicitly write your app to use WebCL. It's a very specialized feature that tends to benefit multi-threaded parallel apps.
