"In this session I'm going to describe some efforts to bring OpenCL acceleration to the General Graphics Library (GEGL) and the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). I intend to show the current state of the project, some implementations techniques used and performance comparisons among common GPUs."

Implementing OpenCL support in GEGL and GIMP
1. OpenCL in GEGL and GIMP
Victor Oliveira
Libre Graphics Meeting 2012
3. GIMP was designed to process images with 8-bits per channel.
? Artifacts
? Noise
GEGL is optimized to do it in high-depth formats, like ?oating-point.
4. Processing images in ?oating-point is intensive.
How can we improve GEGL performance?
5. The solution: making ?oating-poing processing
faster using GPUs, multi-threading and vectorization!
(All to do with OpenCL)
12. Common ?ow in a OpenCL program:
? Write code in the OpenCL language
? Detect the device
? Build your code
? Transfer data to the device
? Run your OpenCL program
? Transfer data back from device
13. AMD, Intel and Nvidia proprietary implementations.
Mesa open-source implementation is progressing fast.
