Nice work.  Well, yes, CUDA is missing.

I think it OK, I'm not native English speaker either.

But I don't know that --- I have an ATI card myself.

I learned that ImageMagick supports OpenCL processing, and I tried with
my card, but failed.  Those samples from amdstream worked fine, but
ImageMagick always failed with it.  Could you please write something on
that?  And perhaps more on other software that supports OpenCL.
