363	Evaluate OpenCL support	scheusso	nobody	"OpenCL is a library that allows to relay certain parts of your code to the GPU of your graphics card and computes it there with parallel power. While CUDA as a similar example only runs on NVidia cards, OpenCL is the open-source and hardware independent implementation of such a solution.

Your task is to identify possible candidates of code snippets that can be run in parallel and thus increase the speed of the game on such hardware. Because the graphics rendering cycle is run on the graphics card as well, the code from OpenCL should not get into the way of graphics calculations and slow down the game.

Candidates for parallel computing may be AI or physics.

Also estimate effort and necessary changes in comparison of probable speed up. If it's not worth it, we won't do it."	enhancement	new	minor	Version 0.2 Codename: Bellatrix	misc	0.2.0
