The specification is overseen by the Khronos group, Apple was a major contributor, and they had the original idea. But its not their work alone :)

ATI already has a beta implemention of OpenCL, nVidia has one it releases to developers but I am too lazy to fill in the long form with just "i want to toy with it" answers.

Hopefully these both reach release quality at the same time D handles 'shared' correctly :)
