Hi, I am Abheek Ghosh, sophomore from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati. I read the Summer of Code and DRM pages, as well as Mehul's discussion but didn't get much help. I have strong C/C++ skills and familiar with OpenCL. I have Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU of Fermi architecture. I have made small contributions to open source projects. I don't have experience in kernel level development, but very interested to get my hands dirty.
It would be helpful if any developer can help me get started with some suitable projects related to available hardware or any hardware independent projects in OpenCL, OpenGL or Mesa.
Awaiting a positive response.
Regards, Abheek Ghosh

As you've noticed in the thread started by Mehul, people here are keen on getting to know what your interest and strengths are. Thus listing those would be beneficial. This way people can come up with more 'personalised' ideas, should the ones on the wikis (short of links atm, sorry) do not suit you.

Thanks for reply. I would like to work on *Compilers*. I have just some basic knowledge on compilers. I liked the 2015 ideas related to compilers and Nouveau like "OpenCL support" (but requires Tesla, not available). The projects were mostly moderate/difficult level. Although, I am at a learning stage and may not have good knowledge on compilers, I am willing to work very hard and learn(why I am here).
Regards Abheek

Hello Abheek,
Sorry for the long delay.
So, things have changed a bit since last year idea. You should now be able to start kernels on most generations, atomic operations are supported and image is in the work. Regarding the compiler, Hans de Goede started working on compiling LLVM IR to TGSI, which would make it possible to feed OpenCL kernels in a TGSI form to Nouveau, and I have been working on compiling SPIR-V to Nouveau's IR (NV50 IR).
On the SPIR-V side, there are some things that shouldn't be too difficult and some which might take some time, but I have no idea what would fit a GSoC project (and I am not really planning to be a mentor).
I don't know if Hans has any plans regarding GSoC. The SPIR-V that I'm using, is generated by LLVM. But that compilation pass, from LLVM IR to SPIR-V, is a work in progress. Since LLVM is also part of the GSoC program, you could ask them; that work would benefit to Nouveau, and possibly other drivers as well. However that task, I would guess, is a quite difficult one.
Regards, Pierre Moreau

I pretty sure I can define some gsoc tasks related to the llvm tgsi backend if people are interested. One possible option would be the addition of a 64bit memory model (this will also require some mesa changes).
Basically there is a long todo list, but llvm is NOT easy to get into, so it maybe better to find some other task.

Hans
