I'm in the process of implementing a Julia interface to OpenCL. I ported your course exercises and solutions over for a presentation, thought others might be interested as well.

Thanks for providing these materials!

Cool! Glad they are of use.

Interesting to hear of Julia though - do you know how widely it is used?

It is still early days, I think it is only a little more than a year old with v0.2 being released today. I feel it will become popular in the HPC community. It offers many of the advantages of Python while being designed for performance from the start. As always, what is holding it back is the ecosystem around it. Porting packages/libraries over takes time, but already there is an impressive amount of functionality.
