+ocl-icd: free OpenCL ICD Loader
+
+OpenCL implementations are provided as ICD (Installable Client Driver). An
+OpenCL program can use several ICD thanks to the use of an ICD Loader as
+provided by this project. This free ICD Loader can load any (free or non free)
+ICD.
+
+NOTE: ocl-icd should not be needed on systems where graphics drivers
+by AMD or Nvidia already provide an OpenCL ICD Loader implementation.
+To check if you already have an ICD loader, run this as root:
+
+ ldconfig -p | grep -i opencl
+
+If nothing is printed out, then your system probably lacks an ICD
+implementation (libOpenCL.so* objects) and you need this package.
+
+If something is printed out, then you don't need this package, as it
+would probably overwrite the ICD loader that came with your graphics
+drivers.
