 * This abstract class represents a compiled program that can be executed on a computing

 * which returns an instance of a platform-specific subclass.  The source code for a
 * ComputeProgramImpl typically contains one or more kernels.  Call createKernel() to get
 * ComputeKernels for the kernels, which can then be executed.
 * 
 * Instead of referring to this class directly, it is best to use ComputeProgram, which is
 * a typedef for a shared_ptr to a ComputeProgramImpl.  This allows you to treat it as having
 * value semantics, and frees you from having to manage memory.
