Beyond CUDA - OpenCL

OpenCL is a standardized, cross platform, parallel computing API which allows to development of portable parallel applications for the systems with heterogeneous devices. It also based on C language like CUDA and it standardizes the parallel programming approach for rapidly growing various parallel computing platforms. For an example if we develops an application with CUDA then it is harder to use that application with different hardware platform other than Nvidia. But OpenCL eliminates this issue of vendor specificity with a more complex platform and device management model. With this multi vendor portability OpenCL device management model, kernel compilation model and kernel launch are really harder than the CUDA counterpart. But this standardization model will leads to more improvements on parallel computing with heterogeneous devices.

Beautiful Trincomalee : One of the stunning places to visit in Sri-Lanka

Recently my self and few of my friends traveled to the ancient city of Trncomalee which is situated in eastern province and lies on the east cost of the little island. In ancient times it was identified as Gokanna and it was one of the major see ports in the international trading history of Sri Lanka. The city is home to the famous ancient Koneswaram Temple and it is said that this is the capital city of king Ravana . This was my first travel to this ancient city and I would say that, it is one of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka. There are lot of places to visit there including Konesvaram Temple, Dutch Fort, Nilaveli Beach, Marble Beach and Pigeon Island . Nilaveli beach is considered to be one of the best beaches in Sri Lanka and Knee deep shallow seas spreads out hundreds of meters towards the sea. That provides ideal and pure conditions for sun bathing. Some of the pictures taken(by me and my friends) trough out the tour is listed bellow as a evidence to the stunning...

Creating a Simple Axis Service(.aar file) and Deploy it in WSO2 Application Server

In this post I am explaining how to Create a Simple Axis Service(.aar file) and Deploy it in WSO2 Application Server using a simple sample. And also at the end I am describing how to do the same thing with creation of a Jar Service. Lets assume "sample-home" as our parent directory and inside that we can create following folder structure. With this folder structure we can include our external libraries (jar files) inside lib folder and  the "services.xml" file inside "META-INF" folder. Following is the sample services.xml definition which I used with this sample creation. < service name = "HelloService" > < Description > This is a sample service to explain simple aar service </ Description > < messageReceivers > < messageReceiver mep = "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out" class = "org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" /> </ messageReceivers > < parame...
