[Pharo-project] gl/cl interop

by chadwick

Hi, I'm new to Pharo & interested in doing some OpenCL + OpenGL for visualization. Looking around I'm confused by the differences between the various OpenGL libs and Alien vs FFI vs NativeBoost. Years ago I did some OpenGL-based GPGPU work in Squeak (OpenCobalt), but that's all out of date I think. For interop I need to get hold of the current gl context (e.g.glxGetCurrentContext), but according to other threads here that's not so easy in Squeak or Pharo. I tried NativeBoost but it didn't have a Linux implementation. What's the best way to proceed ?

They *intuitively* feel, that i am right, what i tell! :-) Experienced project leaders *know*, what i'm talking about. My personal "Price of excelence of excelence of Smalltalk programming" goes to: Juan Vuletich http://www.jvuletich.org/index.html Why? He *consequently* reduced Squeak and Morphic (named CUIS) to the MIN (without loosing any functionality even!!!), making it not just much faster, but removed tons of code, the pharo team is still addressing, *invented* new and revolutionary algorithms (thank you for *not making* a patent of it!) concerning the visability, scalability of displaying characters, GUI, and consequently removing all costy *deepCopy* and *depperCopy* of structures, consequently following the "in situ principle of dynamic programming", namely "objects not created do not have to be removed by GC". This is *extremely* speeding up Interpreters/Compilers!!!! 1st. price!!!! The Excellence of Excellence of Smalltalk programmers (I know some more guys, but he makes his work public and freely available for everybody to learn from!!!) Thank u very much for this excellent work! Have fun!

Or the people in the mailing list :). Or the ammount of useles threads. So this one is closed for me :). I have to do better things. Have fun!

I gave some input, that absolutely did not fit into the secret plans of the Pharo initiators, going business (shareholders) with Pharo (Ducasse, Denker, Wysseier, Lienhard et. al) That perfectly fits to their behaviour. > Again, Guido, why you think you are the only one who knows about > issues on which you constantly pointing out?

I am a process wizard, i am *very* interested in seeing Pharo becoming a *very successfull* product! :-) Have fun! Guido Stepken

Some people intuitively understand my input, have a *unemotional reception* of *information*, others are just Professors, with emphasize on empathicaly teaching and educating (older) kids for the rest of their life! :-) I know exactly, what i am doing and why, from the psychological point of view. I PERSONALY have nothing against anybody and its participation in the project. But i *know* from my experience as project leader, that *all* projects, where project leaders tried to suppress criticism or "negative thinking" finally failed. That's why i "play" the "enfant terrible" (think why this is a magic expression) here. Tnx 4 understanding, Guido Stepken

And Pharo would be helped by helped by remorseless but constructive criticism. But that's not what Guido's supplying. > Jimmie Steve
