Calling D from Ruby for GPU computing

2017-07-28 Thread Prasun Anand via Digitalmars-d-announce

Hi,

I wrote a Linear Mixed Model tool for Genome Wide Association 
Studies(GWAS) called
[faster_lmm_d](https://github.com/prasunanand/faster_lmm_d). It 
is built on LDC
and is faster than its Python alternative. Also, its the only 
GWAS tool with a GPU

backend.

I am interested in porting ` faster_lmm_d` to Ruby. Though, it is 
still a work in progress, I have written a blog about my findings.

I would love to hear your feedback.

Regards,
Prasun

Is there a written summary of the idea? Or is there a specific point in 
the video someone could point me to?


What I can definitely say is it's a very interesting technique worth 
slogging through probably poor audio etc. It's really a concept language 
without a language. Very inspiring work. -- Andrei

What are they using for HTTP now?


Project Highlight: Funkwerk

2017-07-28 Thread Mike Parker via Digitalmars-d-announce
Funkwerk has been using D for nearly a decade to rewrite and 
maintain their passenger information system. Based on input from 
Mario Kröplin, I've just published the first of four posts about 
their project and their experience with D. This one is a Project 
Highlight that introduces the project, how they came to choose D 
for the rewrite, and how it worked out for them. We can expect to 
see three more posts, coming a rate of one a month from August to 
October, about other aspects of their D usage and experience.


Thanks to Funkwerk for contributing, and Mario in particular for 
making it happen.
