I'd be a huge fan, of a OpenCL accelerated geometry package, which works flawlessly with OpenGL. After all, these kind of algorithms quickly get slow on big meshes, and you normally want to view them in OpenGL anyways. No one really has this open source and integrated into a bigger framework. Maybe we can start with some Julia implementations and slowly start offering them also for Arrays which reside in VRAM?
Why not extending Meshes.jl? I always thought, it will host these kind of algorithms at some point... We just need to make it use parametric types, instead of having 64 bits everywhere...
