I have tried Dmitry's OpenCL interfaces, and they work just fine. I use it on a
Mac using Lightweight IDE, and making OpenCL work through it using C or FPC is
trivial; it just works. I don't know how hard it is to use it from Lazarus
(which I can't run for unknown reasons) but it can't be very hard.
There are three ways to work with GPU computations, shaders (e.g. GLSL), CUDA
and OpenCL. CUDA is integrated with C, for better or worse (worse for us since
that makes it hard to use from FPC). Shaders and OpenCL are no problem to use
from FPC. In all cases, the languages are C-based. :-(

please correct me if I'm wrong, CUDA work only for NVidia and OpenCL
should work for all GPU, right?
and if I got the idea the OpenCL bindings submitted works only for
Mac. Can I get and try it on Windows?

There are OpenCL bindings submitted to mantis,
http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=15297, by Dmitry Boyarintsev.
I didn't test them, as I don't have capable GPU (yet) :)
But I'm waiting with anticipation for them to be applied :)
(I was playing with CUDA some time ago, which had basically the same
goal, although was NVidia-only.)
