Brahma on Wikipedia

Tweet

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 [...]

Interview up on DotNetRocks!

Tweet

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 [...]

Brahma on DotNetRocks

Tweet

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 [...]

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

Tweet

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 [...]

Lyre – A Windows 7 music player

Tweet

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 [...]

Just Married!

Tweet

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 [...]

Brahma on Mono!

Tweet

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 [...]

Brahma works with OpenGL!

Tweet

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 problem

Tweet

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 [...]

Brahma released!

Tweet

After a lot of stumbling blocks with SelectMany and Lets, Brahma is finally out and it supports both of them. The latest release is 0.3, and can be found over at Sourceforge. This release contains 3 samples.

A CPU vs GPU implementation of a the Odd-Even transposition sort. This shows comparable performance for [...]
