Hi Gomes,
 
 Sorry for this late reply .
for the  "multi-process support" in my pre-email, I mean the Web/GPU processes implemented by the Chromium port (now on Blink).
for the Web/UI process model provided by WebKit2,  Can you give a more detail about the Web/UI process model.
 
Cheers,
Oneal

Hi Oneal.

As pointed out by Jesus, Samsung is working on a WebCL implementation for WebKit. https://github.com/SRA-SiliconValley/webkit-webcl is being our staging repo. 

As for your question, it is a bit unclear that if by "multi-process support" you are referring the Web/UI process model provided by WebKit2, or the Web/GPU processes implemented by the Chromium port (now on Blink). 

Our roadmap, which includes announcing the feature here on webkit-dev very soon, has WebKit2 based ports as a first target. As a secondary goal, Chromium (and its GPU-process architecture) would be targeted. 

Cheers,
