Hello, You have uploaded your proposal to the GSoC website but you haven't given us permissions to view your draft proposal so we can comment on it before the deadline.
We also expect students to introduce themselves to the community (in our case this is typically done via this project mailing-list or the project IRC chat channel). In this way we can get to know you and discuss your work proposal to increase your chances of a smooth GSoC experience. These steps are summarized here: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code/Checklist Also, we typically request that students provide a working proof that they can modify the codebase, in your case, this can be as simple as providing a patch to port one of the easier to port quadrics primitives, like HYP (Hyperboloid), from ANSI C to OpenCL. It shouldn't be too hard to do since you can use one of the other already ported primitives (like ELL) as a template. You basically need to port the ray-primitive intersection (shot) code from C to OpenCL and to provide the glue code which packs and unpacks that primitive from the C side to the OpenCL side. (sorry for re-sending this e-mail as I didn't put the mailing-list in the CC properly) Regards, -- Vasco Alexandre da Silva Costa PhD in Computer Engineering (Computer Graphics) Instituto Superior Técnico/University of Lisbon, Portugal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BRL-CAD Developer mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/brlcad-devel
