Quorten Blog 1

First blog for all Quorten's blog-like writings

When OpenCL is not available on Raspberry Pi 4, you can use OpenGL 3.0 ES compute shaders instead. Yeah, sure. But, driver issues aside, what really is the difference between OpenCL and OpenGL compute shaders? Mainly, the purpose of using OpenGL compute shaders is to integrate general purpose GPU compute into an existing, predominantly graphics application. OpenGL compute shaders have easier access to OpenGL state, but OpenCL needs state synchronization primitives and such.

Also, I found a little bit of useful information about how to use OpenGL compute shaders.
