OpenCL runtime on my computer

A year as I installed New Inlel CPU to my computer. It's quite cheap unit from 8th generation with GPU on chip and with opencl cores to perform parallel calculations. I have an idea to try wrapper to opencllib in .net core and start learning opencl with my CUDA background. I just found Ubuntu 18.04 already has runtime. Here is my clinfo. As you can see Beignet is us used for check device, but Neo is going to replace it soon.

It's path to Zen

I want to tell about simple strategy to use multiple code editors alongside to maintain huge code open source code. For example, you need to maintain code that can be debugged only in certain remote environment and then, you have to develop new module for big plugin architecture.
 It is better to study code on the fly with tiny editor without code completion and refactoring. This editor also will be connected to remote host with rsync. I prefer Zed Code editor available as chrome plugin.

Zed Code Editor

Zen is lightweight to work with small projects from chromebook and you can start with cheap environment. But in case you work with new plugins, then you need to learn architecture and decisions contains in solution code. It is better to use code analysis tools and smart navigation in solution. Alongside with Zen i have used Visual Code for me.

Visual Code

Stage and production environment have no advantages to rapid development, but it allow to test real word responses.

I grow reading books

React.Js быстрый старт. Стоян Стефанов. Издательство "Питер"

Scalability rules. 50 principles for scaling web sites.Martin L. Abbot, Michael T. Fishero

A book to make complete web solutions really robust and stable for work with huge amount customers or consumers. I can recommend it for maintenance as same to make leap in quality after acquire code base. Tips is not based on any framework so it might be architect challenge to apply book recommendations to modern infrastructure.


The Open CL specification. Khronos Open CL workging group.

this book have not included kernel language i could looked for. This is a reference to functions provided with open cl library. I was found it similar to CUDA library I studied before. it's also describes how to manage device context with c# and java wrappers. This is low level access but it's the fastest.

Introducing Bootstrap 4. Jorg Krause

Entity Framework 6 recipes. Barin Driscoll. Nitin Gupta, Robert Vettor, Zeeshman Hirani, and Latty Tenny
This excellent book for those who really want to know all aspects of ORM and database. It covers multiple non trivial examples and advanced designs. You can ask yourself about ESQL using or complex tapes in case of maintainability of your code. Then you will do the choice to add this complexity to solution or not.

97 things every software architect should know

CL via C# 4th edition

Deploying Chromebooks in the classroom, Guy Hart-Davis

Fireworks algorithm. Ying Tan.

The CUDA handbook, Nicholas Wilt

Twitter Bootstrap succinctly, by Peter  Shaw
