4*d353a188SXin Li
5*d353a188SXin LiThis sample demonstrates using RenderScript to perform basic image manipulation. Specifically, it allows users
6*d353a188SXin Lito dynamically adjust the saturation for an image using a slider. A custom RenderScript kernel performs the saturation
7*d353a188SXin Liadjustment, running the computation on the device\'s GPU or other compute hardware as deemed appropriate by the system.

9*d353a188SXin LiIntroduction
10*d353a188SXin Li------------
11*d353a188SXin Li
12*d353a188SXin Li[RenderScript][1] is a framework for running computationally intensive tasks at high performance on Android. RenderScript is
13*d353a188SXin Liprimarily oriented for use with data-parallel computation, although serial computationally intensive workloads can
14*d353a188SXin Libenefit as well.
15*d353a188SXin Li
16*d353a188SXin LiThe RenderScript runtime will parallelize work across all processors available on a device, such as multi-core CPUs,
17*d353a188SXin LiGPUs, or DSPs, allowing you to focus on expressing algorithms rather than scheduling work or load balancing.
18*d353a188SXin LiRenderScript is especially useful for applications performing image processing, computational photography, or computer
19*d353a188SXin Livision.
20*d353a188SXin Li
21*d353a188SXin LiThis sample demonstrates the fundamentals of writing a RenderScript compute kernel, and using it to perform basic image
22*d353a188SXin Limanipulation. In this case, each pixel is transformed based on a liner interpolation between its original
23*d353a188SXin LiRGB value and it's luminance (black-and-white) value, weighted based on the user's specified saturation target.
