Some folks were considering using CUDA from the Linux kernel. I imagined it being used for accelerating block hash calculation in block-deduplicating filesystems (that would be a nice addition to BtrFS, BTW).

And, if you can use CUDA to accelerate stuff like that, you can use OpenCL.

No reason why not, for most things they are going to be interchangeable, think DirectX vs. OpenGL
