Summer of Code Ideas

[Abheek Ghosh]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 676 bytes --]

Hi,
I am Abheek Ghosh, sophomore from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati.
I read the Summer of Code and DRM pages, as well as Mehul's discussion but
didn't get much help. I have strong C/C++ skills and familiar with OpenCL.
I have Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU of Fermi architecture. I have made small
contributions to open source projects. I don't have experience in kernel
level development, but very interested to get my hands dirty.

It would be helpful if any developer can help me get started with some
suitable projects related to available hardware or any hardware independent
projects in OpenCL, OpenGL or Mesa.

Awaiting a positive response.

Regards,
Abheek Ghosh

As you've noticed in the thread started by Mehul, people here are keen
on getting to know what your interest and strengths are. Thus listing
those would be beneficial. This way people can come up with more
'personalised' ideas, should the ones on the wikis (short of links
atm, sorry) do not suit you.

Regards,
Emil

Thanks for reply. I would like to work on *Compilers*. I have just some
basic knowledge on compilers. I liked the 2015 ideas related to compilers
and Nouveau like "OpenCL support" (but requires Tesla, not available). The
projects were mostly moderate/difficult level. Although, I am at a learning
stage and may not have good knowledge on compilers, I am willing to work
very hard and learn(why I am here).

Regards
Abheek

Hello Abheek,

Sorry for the long delay.

So, things have changed a bit since last year idea. You should now be able to
start kernels on most generations, atomic operations are supported and image is
in the work. Regarding the compiler, Hans de Goede started working on compiling
LLVM IR to TGSI, which would make it possible to feed OpenCL kernels in a TGSI
form to Nouveau, and I have been working on compiling SPIR-V to Nouveau's IR
(NV50 IR).

On the SPIR-V side, there are some things that shouldn't be too difficult and
some which might take some time, but I have no idea what would fit a GSoC
project (and I am not really planning to be a mentor).

I don't know if Hans has any plans regarding GSoC.
The SPIR-V that I'm using, is generated by LLVM. But that compilation pass,
from LLVM IR to SPIR-V, is a work in progress. Since LLVM is also part of the
GSoC program, you could ask them; that work would benefit to Nouveau, and
possibly other drivers as well. However that task, I would guess, is a quite
difficult one.

Regards,
Pierre Moreau

I pretty sure I can define some gsoc tasks related to the llvm tgsi backend
if people are interested. One possible option would be the addition of
a 64bit memory model (this will also require some mesa changes).

Basically there is a long todo list, but llvm is NOT easy to get into,
so it maybe better to find some other task.

Regards,

Hans
