BeagleBoard/GSoC/BeagleBoard-GPUBx

=BeagleBoard-GPUBx =

A short summary of the idea will go here

Student: Shreyas Iyer Mentors: Jason Kridner Code: https://github.com/l0ftyWhizZ/Shadertoy-Shaders Wiki: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/BeagleBoard-GPUBx GSoC: GSoC entry

=Status= This project is currently just a proposal.

=Proposal= From the ideas suggested on the Ideas Page, my project is to develop sample programs to test the BeagleBoard GPU for computations, using OpenGL ES 2.0 along with GLSL.

About you
IRC: Shreyas Github: [www.github.com/l0ftyWhizZ] School: International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore Country: India Primary language (We have mentors who speak multiple languages): English, Hindi Typical work hours (We have mentors in various time zones): 12AM-3PM US Eastern (9:30 AM - 12:30 AM IST) Previous GSoC participation: This is my second attempt at GSoC. I had applied for a project under Copyleft Games, but unfortunately it didn't get accepted. I want to work on this project with BeagleBoard because being a game developer and graphics programmer myself, I should be able to develop high quality shaders for my application or games, and this project will help me learn a lot in the process.

About your project
Project name: BeagleBoard GPUBx - A benchmarking tool for the BeagleBoard GPU

Description
In 10-20 sentences, what are you making, for whom, why and with what technologies (programming languages, etc.)? (We are looking for open source SOFTWARE submissions.)

Timeline
Provide a development timeline with a milestone each of the 11 weeks. (A realistic timeline is critical to our selection process.)

2017-06-06: Milestone #1 2017-06-13: Milestone #2 2017-06-20: Milestone #3 2017-06-27: Milestone #4 2017-07-04: Milestone #5 2017-07-11: Milestone #6 2017-07-18: Milestone #7 2017-07-25: Milestone #8 2017-08-01: Milestone #9 2017-08-08: Milestone #10 2017-08-15: Milestone #11

Experience and approach
In 5-15 sentences, convince us you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described.

Contingency
What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn’t around?

Benefit
If successfully completed, what will its impact be on the BeagleBoard.org community? Include quotes from BeagleBoard.org community members who can be found on http://beagleboard.org/discuss and http://bbb.io/gsocchat.

Suggestions
Is there anything else we should have asked you?
