I found a color matrix (XYZ to RGB) value in dng.c
17:01
supragya
I think I'll have to use it
17:02
BAndiT1983
or you can take pre-defined ones -> http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?Eqn_RGB_XYZ_Matrix.html
17:02
supragya
any other issues you found with the mlv?
17:02

Hello
17:13
se6astian
evaluatings are coming up so I assume its a very busy time currently :)
17:13
se6astian
order is: rahul, TofuLynx, nmdis199-
17:14
se6astian
rahul_ you are free to start

For the second evaluation deliverables, as mentioned in the last meeting, I successfully finished the simulations of my IP, I am currently instantiating the IP into the AXIOM beta pipeline and I hope to get it done successfully by this Wednesday so that I can start my implementation on the actual FPGA fabric.
17:17
rahul_
I am about 1 and half weeks ahead of the scheduled mentioned in my proposal! and hope to get everything done before visiting the office in August so that I have enough time for the final tweeks!
17:17
rahul_
thats all from my side!
17:17

So, last week, I finished the Code Documentation and published it to the apertus wiki

TofuLynx
Apart from this, I have been discussing with my mentor about what to do next
17:20
TofuLynx
And we decided to move from OpenMP to OpenCL
17:20
TofuLynx
As such, I spent the last days learning about OpenCL and today I setted up my computer for OpenCL development
17:21
TofuLynx
So, the next days I will be accelerating the debayering methods with OpenCL and hopeful without any problems
17:22
TofuLynx
In sum, the last week was mainly cleaning up the code and finishing the documentation, while preparing myself for the OpenCL
17:22
TofuLynx
I found OpenCL very hard to find resources
17:22
TofuLynx
But I think I am set off for a good start!
17:23
TofuLynx
And that's all, se6astian :)
17:23
BAndiT1983
opencl is very common, google has a lot of hits, if you need help just ask
17:23
TofuLynx
Sure, thanks!
17:23
rahul_
yes, even I had openCL this semester in my university
17:23
rahul_
I have some nice documentation
17:23
rahul_
that can rally help
17:23
TofuLynx
Can you send it? :D
17:23
rahul_
as well as I can give some image processing code to get a head start
17:24
se6astian
did you tap into shaders (cuda, etc.) before?
17:24
rahul_
surely
17:24
rahul_
:)
17:24
TofuLynx
I haven't add the oportunity to do parallel acceleration in my university yet. Only next year!
17:25
TofuLynx
No, I didnt, se6astian
17:25
rahul_
my documents will include both CUDA as well as openCL ,
17:25
TofuLynx
I will only learn about OpenCL, OpenGL and stuff next year
17:25
TofuLynx
by "learn" I mean, take classes xD Obviously I will now learn it for Apertus xD
17:25
se6astian
right, maybe a good start point (of course please discuss with mentor) is doing some game development related basic shaders/tutorials
17:26
se6astian
just an idea to get into the topic
17:26
BAndiT1983
shaders are different than opencl
17:26
se6astian
ah, I thought its closely related
17:26
BAndiT1983
"opencl tutorial" offers a lot at google
17:27
TofuLynx
Yeah, but I was to ask you, will we use OpenCL 2.0 or 1.0?
17:27
BAndiT1983
nope, opencl has other goals, so it's focus lying on processing bytes a lot
17:27
TofuLynx
Because most resources are about 1.0 and dont work with 2.0
17:27
BAndiT1983
latest of course,
17:27
BAndiT1983
?
17:27
BAndiT1983
opencl 2.0 is there for years already
17:28
TofuLynx
That's strange, when I googled I only found tutorials regarding 1.X
17:28
BAndiT1983
check the history -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL
17:29
TofuLynx
yeahm 2013
17:29
se6astian
TofuLynx: closure question, how far ahead/behind do you consider your general progress related to the proposed timeline?
17:30
TofuLynx
It really depends, If we take in account the existing OpenMP accelerations, it's almost finished
17:30
BAndiT1983
http://developer.amd.com/wordpress/media/2013/12/AMD_OpenCL_Programming_User_Guide2.pdf
17:30
TofuLynx
However, with OpenCL I am "restarting" over again in the acceleration timeline
17:31
BAndiT1983
opencl is just an extension for the gsoc tasks, as we have most things covered, but i suppose that we have to appraoch the video sequences in next days, so we can do real tests
17:31
se6astian
right!
17:31
TofuLynx
Understood!
17:32
TofuLynx
By the way, regarding the opencl
17:32
TofuLynx
I was planning to do some basic exercises such as matrix summation and stuff
17:32
se6astian
is there a binary release of OC already so the "normal folk" gets a chance to test it?
17:32
BAndiT1983
TofuLynx: https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-opencl-support/code-samples
17:33
BAndiT1983
not yet, but we can adjust travis-ci build, so the artifacts are not deleted, but uploaded to github "releases" section
17:33
TofuLynx
Oh, that's great!
17:33
TofuLynx
By the way, had a glimpse on the image objects
17:33
TofuLynx
will we use it?
17:33
se6astian
travis build releases sounds good
17:33
se6astian
but even a single manual upload would be appreciated, whatever makes less trouble
17:33
BAndiT1983
TofuLynx: it's up to you to evaluate what we need
17:34
BAndiT1983
there is also interaction between opengl and opencl, if it helps for our stuf
17:34
TofuLynx
Okay, makes sense!
17:34
TofuLynx
Will work on it!
17:34
se6astian
nmdis199-: your turn
17:34
nmdis199-
Okay!
17:34
BAndiT1983
okay, we will focus on linux first and build general executable
17:35
nmdis199-
In first week I worked solely on waveform tool (and read more about it) initially I wanted to calculate luma waveform and rgb waveform but in first week I could do only tool for luma.
17:35
nmdis199-
I faced one problem with it though, because at that time I didn’t know the data provided by /dev/mem I wasn’t able to verify the tool.
17:35
nmdis199-
So, next week Bertl suggested me to try and understand mimg tool and cmv_snap3 so that I could load and dump the data to and from memory. Second week, we discussed about mimg and then I started working on two tools load_raw() and dump_raw().
17:36
nmdis199-
These tools dealt with raw image and were meant to read/write raw image files.
17:36
nmdis199-
I spend next week writing the tools but it had some problem, I was not “loading†the data from the memory to process in dump_raw().
17:36
nmdis199-
So, this was the part where I got stuck, probably because I didn’t understood at that time how data was differently stored in frame buffer and raw image.
17:37
nmdis199-
Bertl helped me to understand it by providing a demo tools and telling me how the data was stored. We discussed quite a lot on this and therefore,Last week, I was successfully able to understand the problem.
17:37
nmdis199-
Now, I can say I am comfortable to understand how cmv_snap3, cmv_hist3 and mimg are working. So, finally after understanding how to use the line frame buffer My next task is to implement these tools in my utilities(histogram,waveform) which I started working on already.
17:37
nmdis199-
:)
17:37
nmdis199-
I’ll also discuss with plotting the graph of tools with external library, or maybe I’ll create one myself (depending on the requirement).

17:39
se6astian
nmdis199-: thanks
17:39
se6astian
are they captured images already of the waveform?
17:40
Bertl
s/they/there/
17:40
nmdis199-
no, the load_raw() and dump_raw() basically was to process the data. I couldn't got time to plot the waveform with the library you suggested because we were working on the two tools at that time.
17:40
se6astian
right
17:41
se6astian
how do you consider your progress ahead/behind schedule?
17:41
nmdis199-
testPlot was meant as test code to plot the waveform. But we definitely would need to discuss the library as well.
17:41
nmdis199-
It's going with timeline, though we had additional tool as well (so couldn't test much ) but the tools were of great help!
17:41
nmdis199-
probably need more work with waveform tool
17:43
nmdis199-
that's it I guess :)
17:43

In my last evaluation, I was able to encode MLV files and verify them using mlv_dump In this phase, in the beginning, I was asked to look at the DNG structure better. I was able to learn the TIFF/EP system and understand encoding The next phase began with me integrating mv_dump / mlvfs in the current emulator. This took some time but I was able to do it. We took a little detour to understand linearization table in DNGs/CDNG. With a

17:44
supragya
We took a little detour to understand linearization table in DNGs/CDNG. With a few hiccups, a synthetic linearization table was added in mlvfs.
17:44
supragya
Since then I have been working on making MLVFS work with our MLV format and convert to a DNG. There have been a few issues with struct writing for example - g3gg0 is helping me sort these out.
17:44
supragya
In short, we are really close to getting a full fledged DNG using the emulator. Should only take a week or so (since I have been travelling a lot because of my college).....
17:44
supragya
I think that wraps it up.
17:45
supragya
Since getting a final DNG out is the final objective of my project, I think I am ahead of schedule..... However, your comments would really help
17:46

(in assessing the progress)

A little turn in the sequence of events as i am now integrating the code into main firmware for testing
17:54
ArunM
rather than the designing the GENERATOR as mentioned in the proposal (after discussing that with my mentor :) )
17:54
ArunM
But things are on track with the integration part
17:54
ArunM
Updated my code as problems started arising in the Sequencer , the sequencer part is not commented but will take care of that too

here is the repository again
17:54

And soon be testing on the real Axiom beta
17:54
ArunM
Nothing much to discuss other than few hurdles while getting used to of the original firmware
17:55
ArunM
documentation of code is still left though
17:55

regarding progress with proposal's timeline
17:55

I have synthesized transmitter and receiver for the MachXO2. It was more challenging compared to designing the same for Zynq due to limited availability of primitives suitable for project's purposes. To be honest I'm a bit behind schedule.
18:05
ymc98_2
I have resolved a few timing issues. Few yet to be resolved. Currently making tcl scripts for the transmitter and receiver.

quick report from me:
18:09
se6astian
manfred our precision engineer has successfully injection molded our first 2 heatsink prototypes for an improved AXIOM Beta developer kit (larger heatsink, larger fan, slower spinning)
18:09

IIRC this is a graphene based thermally conductive plastic
18:18
se6astian
its not as liquid when heated up (for the injection process) as standard plastics so manfred had to go through some challenges to get this inject smoothly
18:19
se6astian
thats it for todays meeting
18:19
se6astian
many thanks everyone for being here and participating

what's the difference to common heatsinks?
18:20
se6astian
to close the meeting here is some exceptionally well worded and motivational comment from youtube to our latest team talk release: ""It's nice to see that with our money you always buy funny videos, a lot of machines of which we the backer have nothing at all after years. I'm sure I speak to a lot of people supportive that you really should be ashamed of yourselves. ""

someone has missed the meaning of crowdfunding and backer out there

well traditional heatsinks are solid metal (aluminum) so they require a much higher mold casting (if they are molded at all) temperature
18:21
se6astian
aluminum: 660.3 °C
18:22
se6astian
which makes this process much more difficult for DIYers like us
18:22

how is the thermal conductivity compared to heatsinks made from some aluminium alloy?
18:22
BAndiT1983
what about the specs of this one compared to copper or aluminium? like expected temperature drop
18:26
se6astian
I dont have the specific material name at hand currently
18:26
se6astian
from what I remember though the thermal conductivity was very close to that of aluminum
18:27
felix_
nice
18:27
se6astian
we will get the details when manfred returns from vacation at the end of this week
18:28
felix_
no worries; was just being curious
18:28
se6astian
we are also curious :)
18:29
Bertl
we probably should have some real world test results soon
18:29
Bertl
i.e. anwering the question: how does it perfom on a MicroZed/Beta
