Actually release v1.0.0 about gpu.js HOT 14 CLOSED

We have node support now, fyi!

from gpu.js.

So @cazala, we are half way there in its current form.

from gpu.js.

What I'd love to see:

• Node.js and WebWorker support (maybe via gl package and OffscreenCanvas a la WebMonkeys?)
• Typed Arrays support Oops, already done in f9b66e4

from gpu.js.

@cazala : Sadly OffscreenCanvas is firefox only, perhaps when it become more "accepted" we will relook at that.

Node.js support is already being looked into

from gpu.js.

I've identified a number of areas that can really improve performance, and would answer a number of issues (some opened by me) to support node and es6 syntax. Is there interest in pull requests? If so I can open one when done.

from gpu.js.

Also, I notice that the cpu mode really just uses canvas, shouldn't that be a secondary fallback, if you wanted to use pure cpu, there shouldn't be the following levels:

• gpu
• canvas fallback
• cpu fallback

I've probably misread the code.

from gpu.js.

Looking over the source, I see how we attach programs to the gpu via createKernel, but what if we optionally simplified the instantiation to something like:

var gpu = new GPU((A, B) => {
    var sum = 0;
    for (var i=0; i<512; i++) {
        sum += A[this.thread.y][i] * B[i][this.thread.x];
    }
    return sum;
}).dimensions([512, 512]);

from gpu.js.

You'll probably hate it, and I hope I didn't step on anyones toes, but I went ahead and committed in my fork here which embraces node, es6, and a number of refactors to simplify architecture. I'd like to see this library reach 1.0 very soon, hopefully you can see this is an effort to assist in that regard: https://github.com/gpujs/gpu.js/compare/master...robertleeplummerjr:experimental-node-es6?expand=1

from gpu.js.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/gpu.js just registered

from gpu.js.

Since there has not been any release (that I'm aware of) I'd like to see if we can do a once over on the api before release, and do the initial release with the version that is advancing in the develop branch, which will initially be cpu only for node, but both cpu and gpu for browser. Sense there hasn't been any releases yet, this gives us an opportunity to refine the api early, and ensure we start off without having to support a lot of the experimentals that were introduced early on. Any takers or rejectors?

from gpu.js.

We are still working on documentation and browser minification, but short of that we are now beta ready.

from gpu.js.

Today's after-work progress got us full on beta. Release will be imminent for beta, and fixes for other browsers will be next step.

from gpu.js.

@PicoCreator & @cazala https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OffscreenCanvas is now chrome v60

from gpu.js.

@cazala you mentioned things you'd like to see:

Node.js and WebWorker

Node.js is handled, WebWorkers will need to be handled in a later release in a later issue if there is still interest.

v1 has been released: https://github.com/gpujs/gpu.js/releases/tag/1.0.0
