This paper presents Glift, an abstraction and generic template library for defining complex, random-access graphics processor (GPU) data structures. Like modern CPU data structure libraries, Glift enables GPU programmers to separate algorithms from data structure definitions; thereby greatly simplifying algorithmic development and enabling reusable and interchangeable data structures. We characterize a large body of previously published GPU data structures in terms of our abstraction and present several new GPU data structures. The structures, a stack, quadtree, and octree, are explained using simple Glift concepts and implemented using reusable Glift components. We also describe two applications of these structures not previously demonstrated on GPUs: adaptive shadow maps and octree 3D paint. Lastly, we show that our example Glift data structures perform comparably to handwritten implementations while requiring only a fraction of the programming effort.

Updated / Improved guide for inspeciting a running ruby process without adding debug output or running under ruby-debug

I use the following bit of CSS to help visualize the structure of an XHTML (or HTML) document by putting a colored outline around the border of every element. At each level in the hierarchy the color changes so you can see when “depth” changes.

Bluefish is a powerful editor for experienced web designers and programmers. Bluefish supports many programming and markup languages, but it focuses on editing dynamic and interactive websites.

RadRails is an integrated development environment for the Ruby on Rails framework. The goal of this project is to provide Rails developers with everything they need to develop, manage, test and deploy their applications. Features include source control, debugging, WEBrick servers, generator wizards, syntax highlighting, data tools and much much more.

Snipplr gives you a place to store and organize all the little pieces of code that we use everyday at work and in our own projects. Best of all, it lets you share with other coders and designers. Did we mention it works with TextMate, too? It's code 2.0.

Alky (pronounced "AL-KEE") is a tool that allows you to convert a Windows executable to a Mac OS X or Linux binary. We are focused on high-end gaming at the moment, though we will support other applications in the future. Our binary translation layer is already working fully for OS X and Linux support is in progress. Of course, Windows applications use a very different set of libraries from Linux or OS X applications so we are also working on a library called LibAlky that will provide those Windows libraries to the application.

The ZoomIn Mapping System brings dynamic mapping to your website. Our map technology enables you to pan, zoom and click into map data without reloading the web page. The system also allows you to easily place custom graphical markers and text on the maps.

If you want to dip your toe in the water of some key technologies, then start here. In collaboration with Sams Publishing, we're offering online versions of select books for your reading pleasure — no library card (or credit card) required.

There are many Continuous Integration systems available. This page is an attempt to keep an unbiased comparison of as many as possible of them. The goals are: * Make it easier to choose an appropriate CI tool for your project. * "Healthy competition aid" for the people involved in the development of these various CI systems.

Simple tutorial to build an AJAX Digg Spy-like feature for your website. Covers everything from Prototype, Scriptaculous, and basic javsacript to fetch XML and leverage Fade Effects. Includes pretty good instructions and source code.

TestRunner integrates NUnit testing, debugging, coverage, and profiling into a compact Visual Studio .NET 2003 /2005 add-in. TestRunner works with the latest version of NUnit straight from SourceForge CVS, no special builds required.
