Phoronix: Accelerating Color Management With OpenCL On Intel Hardware

Intel's Open-Source Technology Center has been working on speeding up color transformations for color management on Intel Linux systems using their Beignet OpenCL implementation for Iris/HD Graphics...

Very nice. Color management is one of these often overlooked but critical pieces of the rendering stack.

Colorspace transformation is exactly what babl does, and I know it has simd support (possibly opencl but that might be a false memory).
What would be interesting is a comparison of the two libraries along with determining how much energy each acceleration method uses (1.5x isn't a lot, and that requires using both the CPU and gpu).

Should test on some faster AMD GPUs .
