Posts tagged OpenCL-OpenGL interoperability

In a school project I recently created a fast implementation of Marching Cubes that uses OpenCL to extract surfaces from volumetric datasets and OpenGL to render the surfaces on screen. I wrote a paper together with my two supervisors about the implementation and presented it at the Joint Workshop on High Performance and Distributed Computing for Medical Imaging at the MICCAI 2011 conference. Our implementation achieved real-time speeds for volumes of sizes up to 512x512x512 on a standard GPU with 1GB memory. The paper entitled “Fast Surface Extraction and Visualization of Medical Images using OpenCL and GPUs” describing the implementation can be downloaded here. The source code of the implementation can be downloaded from my GitHub page.
