Microsoft announced new technology for GPGPU called C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism - C++ AMP. It accelerates the execution of C++ code by taking advantage of the GPUs present on video cards with DirectX11 support.

But unlike OpenCL and CUDA, that are more oriented in C code, C++ AMP looks like STL library with new C++11 support.
