Hi, I am looking to enter the Xorg EVoC for 2012, and am wanting to Implement
two Core extensions for OpenGL 4.0 and GLSL 4.00.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name:
Piglit - Implement Tessellation shaders Extension Tests
Summary:
To implement the initial Tessellation shader support into the Piglit
testing
framework. This will be done using extensions to OpenGL 3.2, and GLSL
1.50.
These extensions are called ARB_tessellation_shader, and
ARB_gpu_shader5.
Description:
I would like to start off by studying the Piglit code base, and looking
at
what changes are required so that the OpenGL 3.20, and GLSL 1.50 overall
requirements for these extensions are met. If there is no major problems
with the current framework, I'll start Implementing the numerous tests
of
ARB_tessellation_shader. Once I finish Implementing the tests for this
extension, I will move on to the ARB_gpu_shader5 extension, and
Implement
the core of this extension. Once both Extensions are finished, I will
start
implementation of the Interaction tests with other extensions.
At the end of each Stage I will submit a review of All the code written
up
to that point, and Improve the overall readability. This includes adding
documentation, and comments where Features are added and/or modified.
Benefits:
The community as a whole will have an Open Source tool to test the
overall
conformance to the specifications for the extensions ARB_gpu_shader5 and
ARB_tessellation_shader. These two extensions are core features found in
OpenGL 4.0, and GLSL 4.0.
Schedule:
I plan on working on this project full time for 10 to 14 weeks, and then
continue working on this project for another 2 to 4 weeks part time
improving documentation and code readability.
*Week 1: Study the Specifications and Piglit's Design, and Start
implementing the Missing features that will prevent
general testing
of these two extensions. If no Changes are required, the
Implementation of ARB_tessellation_shader will start.
*Week 2-4: Continue Implementing the tests and Utilities for the
extension ARB_tessellation_shader.
*Week 5: Submit the ARB_tessellation_shader source for Code
Review, and
begin Implementing ARB_gpu_shader5 Utilities and tests.
*Week 6-7: Continue the ARB_gpu_shader5 Implementation.
*Week 8: Submit ARB_gpu_shader5 sources for Code Review, and
then begin
Implementing the code review changes for
ARB_tessellation_shader.
*Week 9: Continue Implementing code review Changes, and begin
work on
ARB_gpu_shader5, and ARB_tessellation_shader
interactions.
*Week 10-12: Continue Implementation of Interactions, and Apply
changes suggested in code review.
*Week 13+: Submit Code for Final Review Once Again, and apply
fixes.
Note: If I wind up ahead of schedule for Any reason, I will take the time to
implement ARB_gpu_shader_fp64 and it's Interactions.
