Ho guys,
I’m new to Elixir and I’m switching from my Java OOP formation to FP. I’m finding the official guide very good for learning.
I would like to realize a graphic project: I want to make something similar to Processing but in FP ( Processing - Wikipedia , https://processing.org/ ).
To do this, I have to learn about GPU programming (no experience) and how to access it from the higher level environment Elixir.
I need some indicati in, no matter It could take a lot. I’m working on this on free time and have no deadlines, just enjoy this project as It come.
Thank you a lot
GM

There are a couple of projects around making use of the GPU.
In Erlang, there’s a long-running project called Wings3D (http://www.wings3d.com) that uses OpenGL.
The Elixir projects seem mainly to focus on machine-learning. There’s an entry point to that world here: Elixir and Machine Learning: Nx v0.1 released! - Dashbit Blog, OR JIT/GPU accelerated deep learning for Elixir with Axon v0.1, and some work that predates Nx here: Deep Learning library with GPU(CUDA/cuBLAS)
Good luck with your project!

You can access OpenGL via the Erlang standard library’s
:glmodule.I found a good blog post about this but it’s from 2016 and some of the code needed sprucing up to run on modern Erlang / Elixir / wxWidgets versions. Repo for that version is GitHub - al2o3cr/elixir_opengl: Demo app for interacting with OpenGL from Elixir · GitHub
