Does OpenMP 4 use OpenCL?

The new OpenMP 4 library now allows to use accelerators such as GPGPU.
Is OpenMP 4 implemented on top of OpenCL for these kind of tasks?

In some cases, yes. See TI's OpenMP Accelerator Model runtime implementation as an example. This is due to the fact that OpenCL is a mature standard with significant infrastructure. OpenMP accelerator support is new in version 4.0, so vendors are scrambling to add support.
