AMD Partnership for OpenCL in GEGL and GIMP
Hello everyone, I'm Victor Oliveira and I was the Google Summer of Code
student who implemented OpenCL support to GEGL, Joao S. Bueno was my mentor
in the project.
My GSoC project was very interesting and there is a lot else to do in order
to have good performance in GEGL with OpenCL.
At the same time, I've been contacted by AMD and they are very interested
in OpenCL adoption by the Open-Source community and want to help me to
continue this
project. So, I'll be continuing it as a contractor for AMD in the next few
months. Of course, all code will be Open-Source. In fact, I've
been developing it in my
Gegl branch:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gegl/?h=gsoc2011-opencl-2
We intend to have it working for real by March at most. So what I'd like to
know is if it's possible to include this Gegl in the next stable release of
GIMP after that?
Also, there would be a problem if I generate Windows and Linux builds and
have them in GIMP site as some "experimental" download?
Thanks a lot.
Victor Oliveira
