1. You're ignoring the fact that it's job openings, and each month there are more of them for CUDA than OpenCL, it's not listing total jobs, it's listing who is hiring for what and CUDA has more opportunities each month than OpenCL.
2. There is no "trend" at least none which I can see, do you have the updated one from 2010 to 2012? That would actually provide some information, looking for total jobs and now hiring as well.
3. Who cares what C#,C++, Java are doing? We're talking about a single persons needs here, not whatever angle you can come up with to take away from the advantages Nvidia offers.
4. Thats what he said, any pot shots taken towards Nvidia driving GPGPU and CUDA was unnecessary, as is this conversation then.
5. Opinion, you can have yours, I'll keep mine.
6. And we're back at Nvidia supporting both CUDA and OpenCL, there is no advantage in this case for AMD since it supports only half of the options listed while Nvidia supports 100% of them.
1. It may be so, but this doesn't represent proof or any kind of evidence. What data do you base this conclusion on?
2. Even if you don't see the green line going up, and blue staying the same, it was summarized below: 85% increase for OpenCL, 6% decrease for Cuda. Trend has a meaning in time series analysis, I was using it in that meaning.
What updated graph from 2010 to 2012, the graph goes from Aug 1 2010 to Feb 29 2012?
3. You were the one who mentioned programming languages first, those are programming languages, OpenCL and Cuda are frameworks, there's a difference. That's all, I'm not nit-picking as I gave an answer to what you probably meant as well.
4. Well, that paragraph was clearly addressed "@ The guy quoting trends", which was me...
5. A statement that OpenCL can use a much wider set of platforms is not an opinion, it's a fact, so there's one feature/metric in which Cuda is not "vastly superior".
6. This would be true if the GPUs were identical in all other aspects. But if you're going to pay more attention to OpenCL, then AMD becomes an option. The cheapest 560 Ti 448 I found in Canada is $240 + shipping and only after $30 rebate, and 7850 for $232 + free shipping. That's about $20 difference after tax. I'd think about it in this instance, 7850 does have some advantages...
