The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Cg: a system for programming graphics hardware in a C-like language (2003, unknown): “We wanted programs to be portable across hardware from different companies, across hardware generations (for DX8-class hardware or better), across operating systems (Windows, Linux, and MacOS X), and across major 3D APIs (OpenGL [Segal and Akeley 2002] and DirectX [Microsoft Corp. 2002a]).”
Gmsh: A 3‐D finite element mesh generator with built‐in pre‐ and post‐processing facilities (2009, methodology): “Analogously, directly using OpenGL instead of a more complex graphics library like Inventor [ 19 ] or VTK [ 20 ] makes Gmsh lightweight, without sacriﬁcing rendering performance (Gmsh makes extensive use of OpenGL vertex arrays.).”
The Direct3D 10 system (2006, methodology): “The rendering pipeline architecture embodied by the OpenGL [Segal and Akeley 2004] and Direct3D [Gray 2003] systems have evolved substantially over the past decade.”
Dandelion: a compiler and runtime for heterogeneous systems (2013, methodology): “GPU frameworks such as CUDA [79], OpenCL [63], and others [88, 17, 71, 22, 48, 94] provide rich front-end programming models, specific to the underlying parallel GPU architecture.”
