The OpenCL standards are developed by the Khronos Group, a not for profit, member-funded consortium focused on the creation of royalty-free open standards that cover parallel computing, graphics and dynamic media across a wide variety of platforms and devices.
The Khronos API registries contain the specifications of the core APIs for OpenCL, SPIR, SYCL, WebCL, the OpenCL C Language, specifications of the Khronos and vendor approved extensions, header files corresponding to the specifications and other related documentation.
