Thank you, Darrin.
This is an invaluable example!
I guess I have some really basic newbie questions.
1. Do we need to use OpenCL to get the benefit of Grand Central
Dispatch?
2. Is there a document that lists the functions,
statements, and structure available in OpenCL?
(Like, how did you know that there existed a "write_imagef"
procedure and "sampler_t" data type?)
3. To what extent is 64 bit programming available inside an FxPlug?
And is it available through OpenCL, independent of OpenCL, or
both?

OK, I've got a simple OpenCL example working. One caveat: I don't
yet have the GPU path working, but the CPU path is working fine.
I've left in what I wrote for the GPU, but it's commented out. Feel
free to uncomment it, tweak it, and let me know if you can get it
working. :) I'm talking to the OpenCL and OpenGL teams to see if
they have any advice on getting it working.
This is a very simple example which just adjusts the brightness of
the image. The cool thing is that with the exception of setting up
the OpenCL context and images, there's basically one code path that
should (eventually) work on both the CPU and GPU. The actual code of
the image processing is written only once!
One other caveat - this might not be the fastest implementation.
With the goal of simplicity in mind, I didn't bother to cache the
context or the built kernel. I believe that you can probably
increase the speed by caching both of those. Hopefully by the time I
work this into a real world piece of sample code that we can ship,
both of those things will be done.
But in the meantime, enjoy, and let me know if you have any
questions, comments, bug reports, etc.:
