OpenCL / OpenGL Vertex Interoperability: The Basic Idea
Your C++ program writes initial values into the buffer on the GPU
(x,y,z) Vertex Data in an OpenGL Buffer
OpenCL acquires the buffer
Each OpenCL kernel reads an (x,y,z) value from the buffer
Each OpenCL kernel updates its (x,y,z) value
Each OpenCL kernel writes its (x,y,z) value back to the buffer
OpenCL releases the buffer
OpenGL draws using the (x,y,z) values in the buffer on the GPU

Some of the Inner Workings of OpenGL:
Feel Free to Detour Right to Slide #24 if You Don’t Want to Know This

In the Beginning of OpenGL …
You listed the vertices with separate function calls:
glBegin( GL_TRIANGLES ); glVertex3f( x0, y0, glVertex3f( x1, y1, glVertex3f( x2, y2,
z0 ); z1 ); z2 );
z0 ); z3 ); z4 );
glVertex3f( x0, y0, glVertex3f( x3, y3, glVertex3f( x4, y4,
Then someone noticed how inefficient that was, for three reasons:
1. Sending large amounts of small pieces of information is less efficient than sending small amounts of large pieces of information
2. The vertex coordinates were being listed in the CPU and were being transferred to the GPU every drawing pass
3. Some vertices were listed twice

Here’s What OpenGL Has Been Moving To: Vertex Buffer Objects
GLfloat CubeVertices[ ][3] = {
{ -1., -1., -1. }, { 1., -1., -1. }, { -1., 1., -1. }, { 1., 1., -1. }, { -1., -1., 1. }, { 1.,-1., 1.}, {-1., 1., 1.}, { 1., 1., 1.}
GLfloat CubeColors[ ][3] = {
GLuint CubeIndices[ ][4] = {
{ 0, 2, 3, 1 }, { 4, 5, 7, 6 }, { 1, 3, 7, 5 }, { 0, 4, 6, 2 }, { 2, 6, 7, 3 }, { 0, 1, 5, 4 }

A Little Background — the OpenGL Rendering Context
The OpenGL Rendering Context contains all the characteristic information necessary to produce an image from geometry. This includes transformations, colors, lighting, textures, where to send the display, etc.
Array Buffer
Element Array Buffer
Texture0 Texture1 Context Dest. Transformation
If we were implementing the OpenGL state as a C++ structure (which we’re not), we might do something like this:
struct context {
float [4][4]
struct Texture *
struct DataArrayBuffer * …
} Context;
Color; Transformation; Texture0; ArrayBuffer;
Computer Graphics
mjb – March 27, 2021
More Background –
How do you create a special OpenGL Array Buffer called a Vertex Buffer Object?
In C++, objects are pointed to by their address.
In OpenGL, objects are pointed to by an unsigned integer handle. You can assign a value for this handle yourself (not recommended), or have OpenGL generate one for you that is guaranteed to be unique. For example:
GLuint buf; glGenBuffers( 1, &buf );
This doesn’t actually allocate memory for the buffer object yet, it just acquires a unique handle. To allocate memory, you need to bind this handle to the Context.
Computer Graphics
mjb – March 27, 2021
More Background – What is an OpenGL “Object”?
An OpenGL Object is pretty much the same as a C++ object: it encapsulates a group of data items and allows you to treat them as a unified whole. For example, a Data Array Buffer Object could be defined in C++ by:
struct DataArrayBuffer {
enum void * int
dataType; memStart; memSize;
Then, you could create any number of Buffer Object instances, each with its own characteristics encapsulated within it. When you want to make that combination current, you just need to point the ArrayBuffer element of the Context to that entire struct (“bind”). When you bind an object, all of its information comes with it.
Computer Graphics
mjb – March 27, 2021
A Little Background — the OpenGL Rendering Context It’s very fast to re-bind a different vertex buffer. It
amounts to just changing a pointer.
glBindBuffer( GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buf );
Array Buffer

Texture0 Texture1 Context Dest. Transformation

mjb – March 27, 2021
More Background — “Binding” to the Context
The OpenGL term “binding” refers to “attaching” or “docking” (a metaphor which I find to be more visually pleasing) an OpenGL object to the Context. You can then assign characteristics, and they will “flow” through the Context into the object.
Vertex Buffer Object
Array Buffer
Element Texture0 Texture1 Array BufferContext
Lighting Transformation
glBindBuffer( GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buf );
glBufferData( GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, numBytes, data, usage );
Think of it as happening this way:
Context.ArrayBuffer.memStart = CopyToGpuMemory( data, numBytes ); Context.ArrayBuffer.memSize = numBytes;
Computer Graphics

More Background — “Binding” to the Context
When you want to use that Vertex Buffer Object, just bind it again. All of the characteristics will then be active, just as if you had specified them again.

Think of it as happening this way:
float *data = Context.ArrayBuffer.memStart;
Vertex Buffers: Putting Data in the Buffer Object
glBufferData( type, numBytes, data, usage );
type is the type of buffer object this is:
GL_ARRAY_BUFFER to store floating point vertices, normals, colors, and texture coordinates
numBytes is the number of bytes to store in all. Not the number of numbers, but the number of bytes!
data is the memory address of (i.e., pointer to) the data to be transferred to the graphics card. This can be NULL, and the data can be transferred later via memory-mapping.

Vertex Buffers: Putting Data in the Buffer Object
glBufferData( type, numbytes, data, usage );
usage is a hint as to how the data will be used: GL_xxx_yyy
where xxx can be:
STREAM this buffer will be written lots
STATIC this buffer will be written seldom and read often DYNAMIC this buffer will be written often and used often
and yyy can be:
DRAW this buffer will be used for drawing READ this buffer will be copied into
COPY not a real need for now, but someday…
Computer Graphics
GL_STATIC_DRAW is the most common usage

Vertex Buffers: Step #1 – Fill the Arrays
GLfloat Vertices[ ][3] = {
{ 1., 2., 3. }, { 4., 5., 6. }, …
int numVertices = sizeof(Vertices) / ( 3*sizeof(GLfloat) );

Vertex Buffers: Step #2 – Create the Buffers and Fill Them
glGenBuffers( 1, &buf );
glBindBuffer( GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, buf );
glBufferData( GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 3*sizeof(GLfloat)*numVertices, Vertices, GL_STATIC_DRAW );

Vertex Buffers: Step #3 – Activate the Array Types That You
glEnableClientState( type )
where type can be any of:
GL_VERTEX_ARRAY GL_COLOR_ARRAY GL_NORMAL_ARRAY GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY
• Call this as many times as you need to enable all the arrays that you will need. • There are other types, too.
• To deactivate a type, call:
glDisableClientState( type )

Vertex Buffers: Step #5 – Specify the Data
Vertex Data
Color Data
glVertexPointer( size, type, stride, rel_address); glColorPointer( size, type, stride, rel_address); glNormalPointer( type, stride, rel_address); glTexCoordPointer( size, type, stride, rel_address);
size is the spatial dimension, and can be: 2, 3, or 4 type can be:
Vertex Data
Color Data
Vertex Data
Color Data
Vertex Data
Color Data
GL_SHORT GL_INT
stride is the byte offset between consecutive entries in the array (0 means tightly packed)
Computer Graphics
rel_address, the 4th argument, is the relative byte address from the start of the buffer where the first element of this part of the data lives.
mjb – March 27, 2021
The Data Types in a vertex buffer object can be stored either as “packed” or “interleaved”
gl*Pointer( size, type, stride, offset);
rel_address, the 4th argument, is the relative byte address from the start of the buffer where the first element of this part of the data lives.
Vertex Data
Color Data
glVertexPointer( 3, GL_FLOAT, 3*sizeof(GLfloat), 0 );
glColorPointer( 3, GL_FLOAT, 3*sizeof(GLfloat), 3*numVertices*sizeof(GLfloat));

mjb – March 27, 2021
glVertexPointer( 3, GL_FLOAT, 6*sizeof(GLfloat), 0 ); glColorPointer( 3, GL_FLOAT, 6*sizeof(GLfloat), 3*sizeof(GLfloat) );
Vertex Buffers: Step #6 – Specify the Connections
GLfloat Vertices[ ][3] = {
{ x0, y0, z0 }, { x1, y1, z1 }, { x2, y2, z2 }, { x3, y3, z3 }, { x4, y4, z4 }, { x5, y5, z5 }
int numVertices = sizeof(Vertices) / ( 3*sizeof(GLfloat) );
glDrawArrays( GL_TRIANGLES, 0, numVertices );

Vertex Buffers: Writing Data Directly into a Vertex Buffer
Map the buffer from GPU memory into the memory space of the application:
glBindBuffer( buf, GL_ARRAY_BUFFER );
glBufferData( GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 3*sizeof(float)*numVertices, NULL, GL_STATIC_DRAW );
float * vertexArray = glMapBuffer( GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, usage );
usage is an indication how the data will be used:
Allocates the bytes, but doesn’t deliver any data
GL_READ_ONLY GL_WRITE_ONLY GL_READ_WRITE
the vertex data will be read from, but not written to the vertex data will be written to, but not read from the vertex data will be read from and written to
You can now use vertexArray[ ] like any other floating-point array.
When you are done, be sure to call:

Either OpenGL or OpenCL can use the Vertex Buffer at a time, but not both: All of this happens on the GPU
Your C++ program writes initial values into the buffer on the GPU
(x,y,z) Vertex Data in an OpenGL Buffer
OpenCL acquires the buffer
Each OpenCL kernel reads an (x,y,z) value from the buffer
Each OpenCL kernel updates its (x,y,z) value
Each OpenCL kernel writes its (x,y,z) value back to the buffer
OpenCL releases the buffer
OpenGL draws using the (x,y,z) values in the buffer on the GPU

This must wait to be called until after a graphics window is open !
Why? Because creating the window is what builds the graphics context.
