Now that the 3.0 SDK is out, I've read through the Renderscript documentation. But it's pretty sketchy, and still doesn't answer most of my questions.
Graphical scripts seem to consist of shader definitions and drawing code. But I assume the shaders ultimately get compiled down to the same machine code whether you define them with Renderscript or GLSL, and the drawing code presumably gets compiled down to roughly the same set of OpenGL calls that you'd make in Java or C++. So what are the advantages of using Renderscript instead? Then there are compute scripts, which I gather are meant to be a GPGPU framework? I have a lot of experience with CUDA and OpenCL, so I'd like to learn how it compares with those. There's hardly any documentation on writing compute scripts, and only a single trivial example. What threading model does it use? Does it support inter- thread communication? Scattered writes?
