Hi Jon! All of your ideas are great, specially the OpenGL output op, which isn't a lot of work and should give good performance (mem. transference between the cpu and gpu is very expensive).
But for now, what would be great is people testing the code and performance comparisons/profiling to know what can be improved, we don't need GPUs to do that, OpenCL should run on CPUs :) Thanks!
