My Submission

This workload focuses on the GPU and OpenGL by loading in .ply meshes and displaying them.

It measures the time it takes to:

• Allocate multiple blocks of memory on the main RAM (with new) and GPU vram (with glBufferData)
• Upload and update data (vertices, colors, indices) to the GPU using glBufferSubData
• Render said VBOs (Vertex Buffer Objects) using glDrawElements and indexed vertices
• Reallocate new VBOs when switching scenes / meshes

Credits:

• Uses an Android friendly (rewritten Apache code) version of Jply to load meshes
