Typically OpenGL is for programming graphics, while "GPU programming" 
typically means "general purpose programming using the GPU". Typically 
  OpenGL runs on the GPU, but not necessarily - you can run OpenGL in 
software (i.e. on the CPU) als well (e.g. with Mesa).

Have a look at http://www.gpgpu.org/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpgpu
