| 14:43.19 | brlcad | Zhao_Anqing: I hope you did realize that I was joking |
| 14:44.04 | mihaineacsu | brlcad: have you seen my previous message regarding the location of existing work on materials database? |
| 14:44.55 | brlcad | Zhao_Anqing: given it's taken 4+ iterations to get this one patch right, you definitely should do another ... one of the requirements for commit access is demonstrating a patch that requires *0* iterations to review and accept |
| 14:45.37 | brlcad | i.e., that your original patch submission has no problems, is correct, is some improvement, compiles, has the coding style, follows HACKING, doesn't leak memory, etc, etc |
| 14:45.59 | brlcad | because that's what is expected of all commits |
| 14:46.52 | brlcad | mihaineacsu: I read everything, including backlogs when I'm away, so you can assume that's a yes unless I ask for clarification ;) |
| 14:47.29 | mihaineacsu | sorry, I was actually afraid I missed your reply, I was for a few hours and my irc client disconnected. |
| 14:50.13 | Zhao_Anqing | brlcad: oops! You scared me so much this. I worried about whether I did something too *evil* ^-^ |
| 14:50.55 | Zhao_Anqing | OK. I will continue to another patch when my first one is totally valid. |

| 14:56.12 | Zhao_Anqing | I have another question, when I make next patch, can I still write a unit test? or I should turn to other types? |
| 14:57.13 | Zhao_Anqing | just like, for example, move the comments from nmg_mk to raytrace.h. Just like you mentioned yesterday? |
| 15:00.45 | ``Erik | more unit tests should be acceptable if that's what you want to do... we're primarily looking for competent execution :) |
| 15:03.43 | Zhao_Anqing | <``Erik>: Thank you, Erik. That's fine. So I will write more unit tests. I have more confidence in this field now. Aha~ ^-^ |
| 15:09.39 | mihaineacsu | I've also noticed Albert Coder is working on this project as well. Is it still ok if I work on this project as well? |

This may need to be reworked to some sort of 'per-target' setup, rather than per file - doing it per source file generates a *lot* of build targets and makes something like ninja more attractive when validation is enabled. |

| 18:14.19 | talia_ | Hey! |
| 18:14.56 | brlcad | so maybe repeat what you just said, what are you interested in? |
| 18:15.27 | talia_ | Yes, I am interested in the Analysis Library project |
| 18:15.52 | talia_ | I actually just started, so just downloaded the code and compiled it, reading the documentation now.. |
| 18:16.29 | *** join/#brlcad KimK (~Kim__@ip68-102-30-143.ks.ok.cox.net) |
| 18:22.34 | brlcad | talia_: great! what's your background? |
| 18:23.22 | brlcad | the activities I recommend for getting started with the analysis lib are to understand our analysis tools |
| 18:24.03 | brlcad | basically if you do the first mged tutorial, then read the documentation for "gqa" and "rtweight", try to successfully run both on some geometry you create |
| 18:24.05 | talia_ | I am a second year Computer engineering student, and I just finishe a one-year internship at IBM doing software optimization and hardware accleeration on FPGA and GPU |
| 18:24.43 | talia_ | yea! I saw the five tools are nirt, rtarea, rtweight, rtcheck and g_qa? |
| 18:25.02 | brlcad | yeah |
| 18:25.19 | brlcad | g_qa (aka gqa) is the flagship there, nirt following closely behind |
| 18:25.19 | talia_ | yup I would def. try them! thanks! |
| 18:25.45 | brlcad | there's several relevant tutorials on the website wiki for creating geometry too |
| 18:25.45 | talia_ | and they would have some overlapping functionality? |
| 18:25.54 | brlcad | yes |
| 18:26.12 | talia_ | that's very helpful! I would look at the tutorials today |
| 18:26.30 | brlcad | gqa does "almost" everything rtweight does (and with a better method, but not as flexibly) |
| 18:26.46 | talia_ | and with a very different API? |
| 18:26.49 | brlcad | rtcheck and nirt overlap in functionality somewhat, but with different focus |
| 18:27.01 | brlcad | there is no API |
| 18:27.05 | brlcad | at least nothing published |
| 18:27.08 | brlcad | that's the task ;) |
| 18:27.54 | brlcad | if you mean they have very different implementations, yes |
| 18:28.03 | talia_ | haha ok, sorry, like in terms of the parameters that they take |
| 18:28.18 | brlcad | rtcheck and rtweight are very similar, almost identical and built on the same infrastrcture |
| 18:28.26 | brlcad | rtarea too |
| 18:28.31 | brlcad | hence the common prefix |
| 18:28.39 | brlcad | nirt and gqa, however, do their own thing |
| 18:29.22 | talia_ | hmm ok so it sounds like it would be easier to convert nirt and gqa to one that is compatible with the rt*? |
| 18:29.26 | brlcad | so like with rtweight, you provide a .density file, but with gqa, you import that .density file into your geometry file as an object |
| 18:29.55 | talia_ | hmm, i see |
| 18:30.18 | brlcad | suggest you run them first, to get an idea of what they do |
| 18:30.32 | brlcad | then it'll be a little easier to talk about objectives and goals |
| 18:30.41 | talia_ | ah, i would need to read up on what other info a geometry file contains other than a density object .. |
| 18:30.44 | talia_ | yup |
| 18:31.01 | talia_ | I would do that today and hopefully we could talk again tomorrow? |
| 18:32.21 | talia_ | thanks! |
