Conway's Game of Life OpenCL/OpenGL Interoperability

Based on a fork from Mobiletainment this implementation uses openCL 1.1 to compute the GameofLife algorithm. Furthermore rendering is done in OpenGL with context sharing.

Benchmark: 4k Resolution, 45 FramesPerSecond @nvidia Geforce GTX970, Intel 2500k

What is special about this?

Creates 2 textures in OpenGL and applys GoL in a OpenCL Kernel, by sharing the memory.

Warning

Ugly Code, with globals and nasty stuff. Even some errors in the gol computation. Dont use the Code as it is or something like that, its just a demo of OpenGL/openCL Interoperability.

Requirements

What you need for compiling:

How to compile?

  1. Install the NVIDIA und Intel OpenCL SDKs
  2. Get the source code and open the project in Visual Studio
  3. Add Include and Libary destinations (APPSDK, CUDA, INTEL) if paths are not default
  4. Change Output and Working Directory
  5. Make sure you have glut dlls etc.
  6. Build
