Great idea! AFAIK, the only "serious" literature we have on the subject is the GPU Gems series, although it's pretty outdated now and I suspect a lot of other great resources have emerged since my time. I'll take this opportunity for a shameless plug of one of my articles [1] with some musings that may be relevant and/or interesting to read and know.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Funny I had the impression CUDA is winning hands down on HPC.

I never said they weren't. But they can't expect to automatically continue with that success while staying as closed and proprietary as CUDA has been so far. Their hardware is not drastically better than that of their competitors, and they are subject to serious competition (unlike Intel with their CPUs). OpenCL is here to stay with a market far broader than just AMD GPUs, so it's pretty much inevitable that it will…
