Yet another OpenCL wrapper for Ruby

A Ruby binding for OpenCL 1.2

• Created : 2015-10-25
• Last modified : 2016-01-03

• Based on Fiddle (One of the Ruby standard libraries that wraps libffi)

  • You don't need to build C extension library

• Interoperability with OpenGL

  • My OpenGL gem (opengl-bindings ( https://github.com/vaiorabbit/ruby-opengl ) version 1.5.2 and later) provides some platform-specific APIs essential for context sharing.
  • 'opengl-bindings' is also based on Fiddle.
  • Supported Platforms: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (X Window)
  • See 'createContextWithGLInterop (sample/util/clu.rb)' for details.

• Fiddle
  • A libffi wrapper
  • Standard library since Ruby 2.0.0
  • I recommend you to use Ruby 2.1.2 and later, which fixed Fiddle's memory leak issue (https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9599).

Use GLFW or GLUT for creating windows and OpenGL rendering contexts.

• GLFW

  • http://www.glfw.org/
  • http://www.glfw.org/download.html

• freeglut

  • http://freeglut.sourceforge.net
  • http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/index.php#download

Via RubyGems ( https://rubygems.org/gems/opencl-bindings ):

$ gem install opencl-bindings

Or grab all library codes (`lib/*.rb') and use them by adding as one of the load paths like:

$ ruby -I ./lib your_app.rb

See sample/hello.rb.
