Hi,
I want to perform tiled lighting for an OpenGL engine.
I have a restriction: must run in openGL 3.2 hardware, so I can't use OpenGL 4.3 compute shaders..... so the alternative is to use OpenCL.
The question is... given a OpenGL context, how can I get its associated CL context?
And pls, notice more than ONE GPUs can be installed in the system 
, so I need the associated context, not a shared one 
. For instance:
Imagine the user has a Intel Haswell IGP GPU and a Radeon 7770.
My engine gonna select the Radeon 7770 as main engine's render card. Now I render a frame and I get the ZBuffer to perform tiled lighting.
Now I'll fire a CL kernel to get the min/max Z per tile... BUT... obviously, I don't want this ZBuffer to be passed into the Haswell GPU or this will be terribly slow !
I need to stay in the Radeon 7770... So I must be sure the CL context corresponds to the GL context hardware!
So...given a OpenGL context, how can I get its associated CL context? And multiplaform solution ( linux,. mac, windows ), pls
thx
