My primary platform is OSX, and Chlorine was written to target OSX first. It is arguably the easiest to get started under OSX.

The idea is to be super simple and easy to pick up. I'd rather spend my day to day time working on interesting problems, rather than slapping together boilerplate. Hence, my goal is to make it very easy to get started. When you need th

By "developer" is this from the perspective of say, a company looking to use Glitter as a starting point for something? Glitter started off as a quickstart for students taking Computer Graphics related classes at my school, not as

TIL! This is awesome! I never knew about this. What does it do under Windows? Does it run say, devenv.exe/msbuild in the shell, as opposed to in Visual Studio?

Hi, can you open a GitHub issue for this? Would prefer to keep problems centralized to the repository.

This was asked in an issue earlier today. It's a combination of 1) I didn't even know such flags existed! and 2) I had some compatibility issues with older versions of CMake on my test machines. I'll look into adding it in t

This might be easier on the eyes for people as well: http://polytonic.github.io/Glitter/ Looks a bit prettier than the default GitHub repository page anyway.

Yeah, CMake is a bit of a complicated beast to "learn" so to speak. I spent a fair number of hours pulling my hair out trying to get it working. This is the result! Hope you find it helpful!

GLUT is a windowing library. GLFW3, SDL, SFML mostly replace everything it does in terms of windowing and input. :)

They certainly do appeal, but are likely a little outside my expertise to go implement, at least right now. Definitely something I'll look into, time permitting! I was aiming more for "simpler" to start with I think.

It would be an interesting comparison, yeah. I haven't worked with CUDA much lately though. I was thinking of adding CUDA support so that Chlorine would default to CUDA on Nvidia cards, but it seemed of limited value. The real goal is

I was contemplating doing a FFT as a demo, but Mandelbrot was low hanging fruit that made for pretty pictures. Keep in mind this was student work. If you have a specific problem in mind, I'd be happy to work on adding it as an example.

I think the problem with (most of?) these libraries is that they don't solve the fundamental problem, which is: the OpenCL API is awful to work with. Various strategies have been attempted, mainly involving some form of "wrap the

Sorry to keep plugging my stuff, but you might be interested in this ... https://github.com/Polytonic/Chlorine No raw pointers, but you can use C arrays (was that what you meant by raw pointers?).

I wrote this blog post a while ago, and decided to revisit it over the weekend to generate/add some benchmarking data. Figured I'd post it here and see if anyone has any feedback.

I wrote something similar a while back ( https://github.com/Polytonic/Chlorine ). Always good to see more attention paid to OpenCL though!

I recently put together Glitter ( https://github.com/Polytonic/Glitter ) which is a basic OpenGL boilerplate that runs on every platform. The only dependency is cmake, so getting started with OpenGL is as simple as gener
