JOCL merge status ..

JOCL merge status update.

Michael's 'master' and 'edge' branch is merged to jogamp's git repository.

jogamp:
  - 'edge' is merged to 'master'
  - builds OK

After GlueGen and JOGL is ported to Android,
JOCL is next.

Michael: Great work!


Cheers, Sven

Hello, I want to know some news about JOCL porting work on Android, could you give me some instruction or references ? Besides, what's the basic requirements of hardware to run JOCL ? I find some information about OpenCL Embedded Profile, is it also supported by JOCL?

I have searched the answers for a long time but got nothing, I am looking forward to your reply :)

I know that both Imagination PowerVR SGX544 and ARM Mali T604 are capable of running OpenCL 1.1 (see http://www.anandtech.com/Show/Index/4413?cPage=3&all=False&sort=0&page=1&slug=ti-announces-omap-4470-and-specs-powervr-sgx544-18-ghz-dual-core-cortexa9 and http://www.arm.com/products/multimedia/mali-graphics-hardware/mali-t604.php), so Imagination and ARM must have internal-use OpenCL drivers. I've even seen an Imagination demo on YouTube for OpenCL on PowerVR at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDrz-w1jzEU.

But I don't think "official" OpenCL drivers for either one have been released yet, so we can't compile JOCL against them yet. As far as I know, it's not possible for developers outside Imagination or ARM to write OpenCL code for iOS or Android at all yet :)

Thanks again for your help, I also find that AMD has published the Radeon E6760 embedded GPU which supports OpenCL and OpenGL 4.1 http://www.amd.com/us/products/embedded/graphics-processors/Pages/radeon-e6760-discrete-gpu.aspx 

Hope the "official" version may be released as soon as possible, especially for iOS, maybe we could get it in the WWDC 2012 ?

I have started a new forum thread to list mobile devices that now ship OpenCL drivers:

You can run JOCL even on the CPU, the minimal requirements are very low.
