Title: QT + OpenCL = QtOpenCL
Post by: ker2x on May 26, 2010, 09:49:30 PM
I'm learning to use QT.
Downloaded QT SDK (and QTCreator, which look *GREAT!*)

The next step was (before trying anything else) : Ok... can i do openCL with QT, and how ?

And just found this : http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/04/07/using-opencl-with-qt/
The full doc is here : http://doc.qt.nokia.com/opencl-snapshot/

QtOpenCL is a set of extension classes for the QtCore and QtOpenGL modules to enable the use of OpenCL in Qt 4.6.2 and Qt 4.7. The current project goals are:

  • Create a good Qt-style wrapper for OpenCL that takes the pain out of OpenCL initialization, buffer management, and kernel execution.
  • Provide a solid foundation for accelerating other parts of Qt.
  • Be more than just a 1-to-1 C++ wrapper: take advantage of Qt to improve the programmer's experience.
  • Interface to standard Qt facilities such as QImage, QPixmap, and QtOpenGL to make it very easy to use and generate Qt images and textures using OpenCL.


What do that mean ? OpenCL For the mass ! woooohooo \o/
