When allocating Memory you have the option to choose between different modes: Read only memory Write only memory Read/Write memory Read-only memory is allocated in the __constant memory region, while the other two are allocated in the normal __global region. In addition to the accessibility...

Writing an array consists of two steps: Allocating the memory Copying the data To allocate the memory, a simple call to _mem = clCreateBuffer($queue, $mem_flags, $size, $host_ptr, &err); is enough. If you decided to copy the host pointer via the mem_flags, you are done. Otherwise you ...

Lets build a kernel to generate a grayscale image. We will use image data which is defined using uints for each component and with order RGBA. __constant sampler_t sampler = CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE | CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE | C...

Lets look at a gamma correction kernel __constant sampler_t sampler = CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE | CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE | CLK_FILTER_LINEAR; __kernel void Gamma(__read_only image2d_t input, __write_only image2d_t output, __c...

Recent versions of Delphi ships with the TStopwatch record which is for time interval measurement. Example usage: uses System.Diagnostics; var StopWatch: TStopwatch; ElapsedMillseconds: Int64; begin StopWatch := TStopwatch.StartNew; // do something that requires measurement El...

DRF offers the chance to further customize the behavior of the generic views/viewsets by allowing the creation of custom mixins. How to: To define a custom mixin we just need to create a class inheriting from object. Let's assume that we want to define two separate views for a model named MyM...

To make your APK file as small as possible, you should enable shrinking to remove unused code and resources in your release build. This page describes how to do that and how to specify what code and resources to keep or discard during the build. Code shrinking is available with ProGuard, which dete...

1. Enable Flat Categories and Products One of the top reasons of Magento speed issues with database read speed. To fasten the read speed of the database you should enable Flat Catalog. This will minify the number of database joins done when showing products and due to that the MySQL query complexit...

To discovery all the available print services, we can use the PrintServiceLookup class. Let's see how: import javax.print.PrintService; import javax.print.PrintServiceLookup; public class DiscoveringAvailablePrintServices { public static void main(String[] args) { discoverPrintS...

To discovery the default print service, we can use the PrintServiceLookup class. Let's see how:: import javax.print.PrintService; import javax.print.PrintServiceLookup; public class DiscoveringDefaultPrintService { public static void main(String[] args) { discoverDefaultPrintSer...

A print job is a request of printing something in a specific print service. It consists, basically, by: the data that will be printed (see Building the Doc that will be printed) a set of attributes After picking-up the right print service instance, we can request the creation of a print job...

Doc is an interface and the Java Print Service API provide a simple implementation called SimpleDoc. Every Doc instance is basically made of two aspects: the print data content itself (an E-mail, an image, a document etc) the print data format, called DocFlavor (MIME type + Representation class...

Sometimes we need to determine some aspects of the print request. We will call them attribute. Are examples of print request attributes: amount of copies (1, 2 etc), orientation (portrait or landscape) chromacity (monochrome, color) quality (draft, normal, high) sides (one-sided, two-sided e...

If we are given with the two strings we have to find the longest common sub-sequence present in both of them. Example LCS for input Sequences “ABCDGH” and “AEDFHR” is “ADH” of length 3. LCS for input Sequences “AGGTAB” and “GXTXAYB” is “GTAB” of length 4. Implementation in Java public class LC...

Given 2 string str1 and str2 we have to find the length of the longest common substring between them. Examples Input : X = "abcdxyz", y = "xyzabcd" Output : 4 The longest common substring is "abcd" and is of length 4. Input : X = "zxabcdezy", y = "y...

We’ll first go over gaze-based interactions. Gaze-based interactions rely on rotating our heads and looking at objects to interact with them. This type of interaction is for headsets without a controller. Even with a rotation-only controller (Daydream, GearVR), the interaction is still similar. Sinc...

The cursor builds on top of and depends on the raycaster component. If we want to customize the raycasting pieces of the cursor, we can do by changing the raycaster component properties. Say we want set a max distance, check for intersections less frequently, and set which objects are clickable: &l...

To add visual feedback to the cursor to show when the cursor is clicking or fusing, we can use the animation system. When the cursor intersects the entity, it will emit an event, and the animation system will pick up event with the begin attribute: <a-entity cursor="fuse: true; fuseTimeout:...

When the active property gets toggled, the component will notify the camera system to change the current camera used by the renderer: var secondCameraEl = document.querySelector('#second-camera'); secondCameraEl.setAttribute('camera', 'active', true);

To fix entities onto the camera such that they stay within view no matter where the user looks, you can attach those entities as a child of the camera. Use cases might be a heads-up display (HUD). <a-entity camera look-controls> <a-entity geometry="primitive: plane; height: 0.2; wi...
