Flow Graphs on Steroids: OpenCL Nodes

Does the async_node leave you yearning for more? If so, this is your chapter. Here, we will cover a high-level Flow Graph class, the opencl_node, that strives to hide the hardware details and programing nuances of OpenCL capable devices. Why OpenCL? Well, there are many reasons and to name a few: OpenCL is an open standard contributed to by members of a large consortium, it is designed to be a platform-independent API, and it aims to nimbly evolve to meet newer requirements. For instance, OpenCL has been an extension of C (not C++), but the latest OpenCL 2.2 version adds support for a subset of C++14 including classes, lambda expressions, templates, and so on.
