SNS-HDR Forum

Hi Sebastian,

at first, as it was already probably said, i want to thank you for time and skill you put in SNS,
this is for me the most awaited HDR tonemapper that i put my hands on, it does an amazing job !

secondly as the the title said, i would like to know if there is a plan to implement cuda , as lot of software
that i use, are using cuda now ( that's why now i put more money on a cg than a cpu ) ! it would be a huge improvement to have it in SNS...

and finaly , probably i'm blind , but i don't have found any roadmap concerning the SNS-HDR developpement and next features !

Many thanks,
vincent

There is a plan to implement OpenCL.

The roadmap is not available on the web.

Ok, thanks Sebastian.

Even if we can't see to the roadmap, can you tell me/us in some few points the next majors features planned for SNS ?

a MAC version!!

Support for GPUs.
Support for AVX instructions.
Tools for postprocessing.
Video processing module.
Saving parameters of HDR images in the database.
Integrated image Explorer.

Interresting, thanks for the infos sebastian,

Any updates on the cuda/openCL support?

I found SNS-HDR works wonders on HDR timelapses, but alas processing thousands of images is painfully slow (i5@4.3GHz).
I could invest in an s2011 i7, but the gains would be marginal (2 more cores, say 40% best case) for a +1000eur expenditure.
Dual socket 2011 and 2x8 core Xeons would yield a proper speedup, but the price tag is ludicrous
Please bring gpgpu support soon, I'll gladly beta test for you!
