Hi Rom, Thank you for your fast answer. I will definitely try to run RenderScript for GPGPU computing on android devices using BOINC and i'll share the result in the mailing list. It might be interesting for anyone else that we can use android GPU to compute with BOINC.
Will you post the Android wrapper here : http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/WrapperApp ? Thank you so much for your help.
