layer processing using pc

Hi Shahin

would be nice if NanoDLP, when it processes slicing, could use the PC processor from which I connect with the browser, for faster execution times, probably it is not technically possible, but I ask the same,

Thank you

Re: layer processing using pc

Hi Andrea,

Actually it is possible to auto compile slice part to JS but there are couple of issues. Making that fully compatible with browser will takes time and I guess memory usage will be much higher than what we have on nanodlp side. Also speed would not be exactly ARMv8 vs Intel i7 as js will run slower than compiled one so performance probably will be ~4 times higher than rpi.

I have plan to add slicer codes to our standalone program to boost speed.
