First WebCL Demos Arrive From Nokia and AMD

An anonymous reader writes "Samsung and Nokia have released initial implementations of WebCL for web browsers. Nokia's version works with Firefox 4 and AMD's App SDK on Windows Vista/7 32-bit and Samsung's version on Mac OS X 10.6.7 with Safari and Nvidia OpenCL GPUs. The implementation has little to no use for average users, but there are a couple YouTube videos that showcase the horsepower of GPUs in physics computations — inside a browser window."

It's an important step for the web. Previously, buggy crap from advertisers could only peg your CPU at 100%. Now it can also peg your GPU at 100%. The war on battery life is nearly won!
