OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is an open, royalty-free standard for cross-platform parallel programming of heterogeneous computing systems that lets developers accelerate computing tasks by leveraging diverse processors such as CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and FPGAs across supercomputers, cloud servers, personal computers, mobile devices, and embedded platforms. It defines a programming framework including a C-based language for writing compute kernels and a runtime API to control devices, manage memory, and execute parallel code, giving portable and efficient access to heterogeneous hardware. OpenCL improves speed and responsiveness for a wide range of applications including creative tools, scientific and medical software, vision processing, and neural network training and inferencing by offloading compute-intensive work to accelerator processors.

C is a programming language created in 1972 which remains very important and widely used today. C is a general-purpose, imperative, procedural language. The C language can be used to develop a wide variety of different software and applications including operating systems, software applications, code compilers, databases, and more.

HTML, short for HyperText Markup Language, is the markup language that is used by every website on the internet. HTML is code that websites use to build and structure every part of their website and web pages. HTML5 is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. It is the fifth and final major HTML version that is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation. The current specification is known as the HTML Living Standard. It is maintained by the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), a consortium of the major browser vendors (Apple, Google, Mozilla, and Microsoft). HTML5 includes detailed processing models to encourage more interoperable implementations; it extends, improves, and rationalizes the markup available for documents and introduces markup and application programming interfaces (APIs) for complex web applications. For the same reasons, HTML5 is also a candidate for cross-platform mobile applications.
