Detailed Description

Manages an OpenCL context and provides the respective convenience functions for creating buffers, etc.

This class was originally written before the OpenCL C++ bindings were standardized. Regardless, it provides a couple of convience functionality which is not covered by the OpenCL C++ bindings.
