It seems like the code to initialize and run the opencl kernel was lost in this commit:I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to understand the commit message. Why was this functionality removed?Should I add the deleted code into video degradation's process function?Thanks,NanleyOn Wed, Nov 19, 2014 at 12:57 AM, Nanley Chery <nanleychery gmail com> wrote:I noticed there was more to the brightness-contrast example. I made the adjustments concerning the kernel name and parameter values.The code compiles now. The current problem that I'm experiencing is that the run-composition.py test for video-degradation passes with an empty kernel.I'm not sure which code paths are executing to make this work. Any pointers? I'll do some grepping of the source tree in the meantime.Thanks,NanleyOn Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 8:22 PM, Nanley Chery <nanleychery gmail com> wrote:Wow. Thank you for the tip, CL_CHECK is now giving me an output.This is the error message:(lt-gegl:10486): GEGL-video-degradation.c-WARNING **: Error in video-degradation.c:236 cl_process - invalid kernelI thought that I had followed the kernel compilation process correctly. Do you notice any mistake? I have pushed my latest change to the branch.NanleyOn Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 8:06 PM, Victor Oliveira <victormatheus gmail com> wrote:Hi Nanley,
I'd recommend you follow operations/common/brightness-contrast.c file
for a point-filter operation (i.e. a pixel-wise filter) instead of
doing what you did.
Notice that in operations/common/brightness-contrast.c#n153 there's a
string brightness_contrast_cl_source which is a string in
opencl/brightness-contrast.cl.h, these are auto-generated files from
the kernels in the opencl folder.
Let me know what happens from that.
