"Interoperability between OpenCL™ and OpenGL®allows developers to pass computed data from an OpenCL™ kernel directly to the OpenGL® programming interface for rendering on the display. By passing the data directly to the OpenGL® programming interface, the developer can avoid unnecessary transferring of data across the PCIe® link, potentially resulting in improved overall application performance."
