As before, the three-pronged approach of text_input, in- put_method, and virtual keyboard still causes confusion, but increased interest in implementing it helps find problems and come closer to something that really works for many usecases. The talk will mention how a broken assumption causes a broken protocol, and why we’re notdone with Wayland input methods yet.

  • Implementing FPGA Design with the Opencl Standard
    Implementing FPGA Design with the OpenCL Standard WP-01173-3.0 White Paper Utilizing the Khronos Group’s OpenCL™ standard on an FPGA may offer significantly higher performance and at much lower power than is available today from hardware architectures such as CPUs, graphics processing units (GPUs), and digital signal processing (DSP) units. In addition, an FPGA-based heterogeneous system (CPU + FPGA) using the OpenCL standard has a significant time-to-market advantage compared to traditional FPGA development using lower level hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog or VHDL. 1 OpenCL and the OpenCL logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. used by permission by Khronos. Introduction The initial era of programmable technologies contained two different extremes of programmability. As illustrated in Figure 1, one extreme was represented by single core CPU and digital signal processing (DSP) units. These devices were programmable using software consisting of a list of instructions to be executed. These instructions were created in a manner that was conceptually sequential to the programmer, although an advanced processor could reorder instructions to extract instruction-level parallelism from these sequential programs at run time. In contrast, the other extreme of programmable technology was represented by the FPGA. These devices are programmed by creating configurable hardware circuits, which execute completely in parallel. A designer using an FPGA is essentially creating a massively- fine-grained parallel application. For many years, these extremes coexisted with each type of programmability being applied to different application domains. However, recent trends in technology scaling have favored technologies that are both programmable and parallel. Figure 1.

A major reason is computational heavy computer games, where standard of performance and high quality graphics con- stantly rise. Another reason is better suitable technologies for programming the graphics cards. Combined, the product is high raw performance devices and means to access that performance. This thesis investigates some of the current technologies for general-purpose computing on graphics processing units. Tech- nologies are primarily compared by means of benchmarking performance and secondarily by factors concerning programming and implementation. The choice of technology can have a large impact on performance. The benchmark applica- tion found the difference in execution time of the fastest technology, CUDA, com- pared to the slowest, OpenCL, to be twice a factor of two. The benchmark applica- tion also found out that the older technologies, OpenGL and DirectX, are compet- itive with CUDA and OpenCL in terms of resulting raw performance. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank Åsa Detterfelt for the opportunity to make this thesis work at MindRoad AB.

  • Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML
    Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML The term Dynamic HTML, often abbreviated as DHTML, refers to the technique of making Web pages dynamic by client-side scripting to manipulate the document content and presen- tation. Web pages can be made more lively, dynamic, or interactive by DHTML techniques. With DHTML you can prescribe actions triggered by browser events to make the page more lively and responsive. Such actions may alter the content and appearance of any parts of the page. The changes are fast and e±cient because they are made by the browser without having to network with any servers. Typically the client-side scripting is written in Javascript which is being standardized. Chapter 9 already introduced Javascript and basic techniques for making Web pages dynamic. Contrary to what the name may suggest, DHTML is not a markup language or a software tool. It is a technique to make dynamic Web pages via client-side programming. In the past, DHTML relies on browser/vendor speci¯c features to work. Making such pages work for all browsers requires much e®ort, testing, and unnecessarily long programs. Standardization e®orts at W3C and elsewhere are making it possible to write standard- based DHTML that work for all compliant browsers. Standard-based DHTML involves three aspects: 447 448 CHAPTER 10. DOCUMENT OBJECT MODEL AND DYNAMIC HTML Figure 10.1: DOM Compliant Browser Browser Javascript DOM API XHTML Document 1. Javascript|for cross-browser scripting (Chapter 9) 2. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)|for style and presentation control (Chapter 6) 3. Document Object Model (DOM)|for a uniform programming interface to access and manipulate the Web page as a document When these three aspects are combined, you get the ability to program changes in Web pages in reaction to user or browser generated events, and therefore to make HTML pages more dynamic.
