I am getting started with openCL on .NET. How is openTK compared to openCL.NET - which is better?

Neither, they're not to be compared. Apples and oranges and stuff like that :)

OpenTK is a C# interface to OpenGL. OpenCL.Net is a C# interface to OpenCL.

OpenGL is OpenGL, built for one purpose. OpenCL is OpenCL, built for another purpose.

OpenTK has OpenCL.Net bindings, so you can actually use OpenCL with OpenTK.

    The OpenCL bindings were moved from OpenTK to Cloo (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloo/), as that would allow both projects to be more flexible and develop faster. Other than that, you are pretty much spot on. – The Fiddler Dec 14 '10 at 21:29
