As the title suggests this post is about my experience at XDC. XDC stands for X.Org Developer’s Conference and is the annual conference of the Linux graphics stack community which includes a lot of projects, some of them being: kernel DRM module, Mesa, Wayland, and X server. During XDC I presented the work that I did as part of GSoC2018. This year XDC was hosted by GPUL (Galician Linux User Group) in A Coruña, Spain, from the 26th through the 28th of September.
This post will act as the final Work Product for my GSoC project. Christian König mentored me for the project. I will start the post with the initial project abstract and how that converted into the actual project that I worked on. After I will discuss the result of my project followed by a summary of the work that I did during the summer. I will end the post with a short discussion on future work. The patches that I wrote as part of the GSoC have been merged upstream and are also available here
I have been working on the linux kernel for the past 2 months as part of my GSoC and during that time I had to deal with the Makefile in the Linux kernel. The Makefile has some handy targets which are not easy for a beginner to find. In this post I will talk about some of the targets that I found useful during my work.
This post is about my recent trip to Los Angeles, USA for presenting my work titled “DFCM++: Augmenting DFCM with Early Update and Data
Dependency-driven Value Estimation” at Value Prediction Championship (CVP) held in conjunction with ISCA 2018.
