Mostly providing simplified kernel-code with more convenient error-checking, but sometimes with quite advanced additions: the wrappers for OpenCL 1.x. As OpenCL is an open standard, these projects are an important part of the evolution of OpenCL.

You won’t find solutions that provide a new programming paradigm or work with pragmas, generating optimised OpenCL. This list is in the making.
