http://imonad.com/blog Software engineering, Functional programming, Haskell Fri, 10 Oct 2008 19:42:00 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I have read a lot of papers on RBM and it seems to be difficult to grasp all the implementation details. So, I want to share my experience with people facing the same problems. My tutorial is based on variant of RBM-s named Continuous Restricted Boltzmann Machine or CRBM for short. ... http://imonad.com/blog/2008/10/restricted-boltzmann-machine/ In this post I will talk about the four-sphere scattering system. This is one of the simples examples of chaotic scattering. We can envision scattering as a small particle (electron for example) that moves toward a fixed target (group of atoms), interacts with it, and then leaves the region. These ... http://imonad.com/blog/2008/07/chaotic-scattering-with-povray/ Roman Cheplyaka have posted a short video demonstrating the physics engine in Haskell he is working on during his Summer of Code Project - Hphysics [youtube uziCn2SBbxs video] More information about progress on this project can be found on his blog: Building physics engine in Data Parallel Haskell More: Hphysics project http://imonad.com/blog/2008/07/hpysics-demo/ Bryan O’Sullivan Lecture on writing programs in Haskell for multicore systems. Bryan is is also a co-author of the upcoming O’Reilly book Real World Haskell http://imonad.com/blog/2008/07/concurrent-and-multicore-programming-in-haskell/ There is new initiative to create open standarts for parallel computing across GPUs and CPUs. I think this will be the next step in GPU computing. As I underspend this will be new open standard (something like OpenGL) that will be portable across different platforms. The name of the new ... http://imonad.com/blog/2008/07/opencl/ I use Eclipse to all sort of development on C, Java and Haskell. It gives me uniform look and feel on every project. In this post I wold like to show steps necessary to run Haskell Eclipse plug-in. First of all you need to have Eclipse installed. I will use Ubuntu ... http://imonad.com/blog/2008/06/haskell-plug-in-for-eclipse/ Recently I become interested in GPU programming particularly technology developed by NVidia - CUDA. There is a lot of interesting examples provided with the SDK and a lot of demonstration links on the site. I have no vision if this will become mainstream in the future or other type ... http://imonad.com/blog/2008/06/gpu-programming-in-haskell/ Sushi refers to sticky rice that has been seasoned with rice wine vinegar. It is cut and shaped into small rolls wrapped with Nori (Toasted Seaweed sheets). Ingredients: carrots, cucumber, pepper, rice, 2/3 cup rice wine vinegar, 6 Tbsp. brown sugar, package toasted Nori sheets Preparation: Simmer rice for 30-40 minutes.
