Rendering a entire MV with a homemade renderer!

So I am a computer graphics guy. I wrote my own renderer from scratch and made it support the Embree ray tracing library. It is semi-fast and had shown been able to render complex scenes. Hmm... maybe I can render a short MV in 1080p with it? Maybe I can! What my renderer can't do....

Building standalone NNPACK with CMake.

NNPACK is a widely used CPU based neural network acceleration library. It is fast a sleek library. But building it from scratch is hard and often won't work (even following the READEME). Building NNPACK On the offical READEME file said NNPACK can be build with confu and ninja. But that often fail and and is...

About MIOpen’s insane HIP backend

Few months ago a kind gentleman asked me if I can get MIOpen's HIP backend working on Nvidia's GPU. And thus I dug deeper into MIOpen's code. Here is what I have learned so far. TL;DR The HIP banked is insane. And I didn't succeed in making MIOpen's HIP backend working with CUDA. MIOpen MIOpen ...

A simple and basic tutorial of tiny-dnn

Ever wondered how to do deep learning in C++? Ever want to do machine learning on one of the most used language that is not a script? tiny-dnn is your best solution. I'll assume that you are familiar with the basic concepts in a neural network and the (modern) C++ programming language.  Also you should be...

Renting on Altera’s OpenCL on FPGA again.

I'm currently working on porting my ray tracng OpenCL kernel to Altera's FPGA. Yes, I'm porting a OpenCL kernel. Its really frustrating working with Altera's OpenCL SDK. Altera's OpenCL compiler sucks. It took me less then 2 to implement all the host code and write a decent ray tracing kernel with BVH in OpenCL for my...

Hacking MIOpen to run anywhere and libre ML – lightingtalk@COSCUP 2017 Postscript

MIOpen. What a great library it is. COSCUP 2017 just occurred last weekend. And I decided to attend to the lightning talk on how I get MIOpen to run on non AMD hardware and my vision on what this library could be. If you haven't been at COSCUP. Here are the slides. We all know that...

Building AMD’s MIOpen on a non ROCm(AMD) system

AMD. Please, please write your build script PROPERLY. It really sucks that I have to hack your code to make it work on other's platform. - and that's when all components used are cross platform. Sorry that I got a bit mad when I'm writing this post. There are too much basic things done wrong....

ChaiScript Tutorial (5.5) – Global Variables in ChaiScript

Besides calling ChaiScript functions from C++. You can also access global variables from C++. Global Variables in ChaiScript Unlike most languages, where weather a variable is global or not is defined by if the variable exists in the root scope. Such as the following in C++: ChaiScript uses the global keyword to specify if a variable...

Introduction to SSHFS – the *best* way do transfer files between your PC and you when you are outside and in emergency

Sometimes when I'm in a conference of in a meeting. I need some files that is on my PC but not on my laptop to run my demo program. There's no way I could run back home or to my lab to grab them. And the only thing I have on my PC running(running Linux)...
