The .cl files is what OpenCL is all about. They contain the code in "OpenCL C" an ISO C99 based programming language wich was extended for massive parallelism.

Generally speaking u can say that u do the environment and data setup for ur calculation using JOCL (OpenCL binding) and then "upload" the actual algorithm to be used with ur data as "OpenCL C" to ur computing devices (e.g. the graphics card or the multicore cpu). After everything is set up u start the computing devices and collect the results when the "uploaded" algorithm has processed all ur data.
