12        <h4>Levels in Renderscript</h4>
13      <p>For ICS, Renderscript (RS) has been updated with several new features to simplify
14        adding compute acceleration to your application. RS is interesting for compute
15        acceleration when you have large buffers of data on which you need to do significant
16        processing. In this example we will look at applying a levels/saturation operation
17        on a bitmap.</p>

22        <h4>Renderscript Part 2</h4>
23        <p>In Introducing Renderscript I gave a brief overview of this technology.
24          In this post I’ll look at "compute" in more detail. In Renderscript we use
25          "compute" to mean offloading of data processing from Dalvik code to
26          Renderscript code which may run on the same or different processor(s).</p>
