OpenCL Port for Thea Presto (wip)

[eph]

In Presto framework, it poses the same level of difficulty from the pure development side but if you add more things to the mix (like optimization, debugging tools and others), again a dedicated tech will make the whole job easier.

Then it sounds like you put a very courageous task upon yourselves Congrats and best of luck!

The real rewards come with the real hard work, we gotta believe in that right? It's a proven thing!

Well, this announcement made my purchasing decision much easier. Even if I can't currently use my GPU, the rendering engine is still pretty fast with only CPU so I can only imagine... Looking forward to seeing this completed.

At first I didn't understand that you were hybrid rendering with both CUDA and CL, that is insane.

This is exactly the reason why I went with Thea as my choice of renderer. You guys are nicely exploring the boundaries.

I actually bought (built) a PC purely because the new Mac Pro comes with Ati cards and there is no choice or flexibility in future to change vendor or upgrade.

Keep up the amazing work; there are few of us that truely appreciate this kind of work.
