Brahma and OpenCL

Despite the lack of updates on this site, I have been hard at work on a new provider, Brahma.OpenCL. I am very excited at all the possibilities that OpenCL brings to the table. I will try to summarize some of the new features that OpenCL will bring to Brahma.

Different memory pools – OpenCL [...]

Brahma on Wikipedia

I just found out this morning that a link to the Brahma website has made it into Wikipedia (under the topic GPGPU). Cool!

The lack of updates on Brahma is because I have moved to the United States (early this month) and will be living and working here from now. It’s been crazy busy [...]

Interview up on DotNetRocks!

My interview about Brahma is up on DotNetRocks, you can find it here. I hope this helps Brahma’s popularity and remember, contributions are most welcome (samples, help getting Brahma to run on Mono on Linux)!

I’ve recently had a new idea, the concept of using user-defined types with Brahma. This should (hopefully) be out [...]

Brahma on DotNetRocks

We all know .NET rocks. Apparently, the guys over at www.dotnetrocks.com thought Brahma rocks, too! Carl Franklin, Richard Campbell and I had an hour long conversation about Brahma; how it works and what the future for it is like.

It’s going to be published on the 23rd of July 2009, so watch out for [...]

Pin and Un-pin items to/from the Windows 7 taskbar

One of the things I wanted to do with Lyre (my Windows 7 taskbar-based MP3 player), was to

Figure out if a given executable is pinned to the taskbar Un-pin it from the taskbar Pin it back to the taskbar

During my searches, I found this blog post that says programmatic access to pinning [...]

Lyre – A Windows 7 music player

What does Windows 7 have to do with music? Nothing, really. But I’ve noticed that no one has been enterprising enough to put the Window 7 taskbar features to REALLY good use and make an mp3 player that we can use while we work (WMP team, are you listening?). I mean, who doesn’t listen [...]

Just Married!

I got married early last month, to the woman I’ve been looking for all my life. Her name is Khyati, and we used to work together when I first moved to Mumbai. Here’s an excerpt from my wedding website about her: “It’s almost two years ago I came to Mumbai, with a few pieces [...]

Brahma on Mono!

Brahma now runs on Mono! Here is a screenshot of the Mandelbrot sample running under Mono (on Windows, at the moment). I’m trying to get it working on Linux, but I haven’t been able to get MonoDevelop up on my PCLinuxOS, so I’m stuck with an empty X11Context implementation.

Any help working with Mono [...]

Brahma works with OpenGL!

I’ve finally sorted out all problems with Brahma and OpenGL, and I’m glad to announce that there will be a release of Brahma that runs on Mono (Windows + Linux, but not MacOS – I don’t have bindings for it) very soon. I’m going to be using my own method of initializing an OpenGL [...]

OpenGL problem

I’ve been trying to get Brahma working with OpenGL, and although the code is complete to bring the OpenGL/GLSL provider on par to the DirectX provider (GLSL code is generated, compiles fine), I’m having problems getting results back from the GPU. I really wish OpenGL would DO something about the dreadful uncertainties across versions, [...]
