I renamed Scalag to Cyfra, and added to some pretty cool features. You can now use directly nested Scala case class structures on GPU, pass uniforms, and more. Using that, I created a function animation renderer Foton, written fully in Scala. #scala

See you on my Painting with Functions talk at #LambdaDays tomorrow! I will show you how, with our new library, functional Scala code can be run on a GPU. Then, we will implement a proper ray tracer to render images like this one:

RT @ghostdogpr: I achieved an interesting performance improvement today by changing an opaque type from Int to java.lang.Integer. It may l….

Idea here is that the rendered function is "f" and it's the entrypoint. Repository and the project:

On the way to make #scala a realtime procedural graphics editor :) 3D and animations are coming!.#gpu #generativeart

RT @LambdaDays: Only 6 days left! We're calling on all innovators, creators, and problem-solvers to share their passion projects, groundbre….

A really great perspective on current narratives around AI. I was luck enough to see it in person, but now it's also online :).

I will be speaking at @LambdaDays this year! :).I will show how functional Scala with Cyfra can be used to develop GPU programs such as ray tracers and ray marchers - we will develop one live. Ambitious plan now is to clean up, expand and release Cyfra.

Coding those animations is quite fun and I encourage you to try it out if you want :) However, now you would need to fork and build the project yourself, but if you need any help with that, ask me here. Before release I need to do a lot of clean up and optimizations.

Foton can animate all kinds of functions, below is an example of animated Julia set:

RT @scala_lang: Your help is welcomed 📝. How extensively is Scala used in the public sector?. We are collecting all examples to make a stro….

Here is the project repository: And here is the code of the raytracer:.Still a lot has to be done and cleaned, but we are planning to release an alpha version soon. Would you like to run part of your stream processing on GPU?.

In essence, it compiles code written in Scala 3 with Scalag DSL to spir-v, that you can then run with provided Vulkan runtime on one of many platforms: Mac, Linux, Windows, and most of GPUs. It supports, among other features, case classes and basic declarative collections:

Path-tracing running on GPU, written purely in Scala 3? It is now possible with Scalag! Below is a scene rendered with Scala 3 gpu path tracer. It is just one example of Scala programs you will be able to run natively on a GPUs. Details and code in thread. #scala #gpu #scalag

Here is our repo: It's Scala 2 and I would definitely design the DSL differently today. But, regardless of that, it works quite well and DSL is typesafe and gives hints. It may be a nice idea rewrite it in Scala 3 with a good DSL.

4 years ago with my friend Marcin we developed a tool to compile Scala DSL to SPIR-V and run it on GPU (with Vulkan). I digged it up and added some features. So here they are: Scala programs running on GPU to blur images and to calculate 2d square function values:

It's in less than a week!

Just left @VirtusLab today, after 4 years. Great company, highly recommend. I am definitely not leaving contributing to open source though. Scala 3 compiler is in great hands, and Scala Toolkit is planned to reach the next level with @lukasz_bialy.

Next Monday, I will talk about capabilities and various ways of expressing effects in Scala. I invite you to come to WędrówkiPub in Wrocław!.
