Plugin with CUDA and OpenCL Support

Hello there,
i have a question about implementing a premiere plugin which uses CUDA and OpenCL.
Unfortunately, the SDK only provides an OpenCL Sample Plugin.
My first idea was it to create a plugin which only uses OpenCL for GPU acceleration, but then i realized, that Premiere just provides CUDA rendering on NVidia cards. So now i need to support both, OpenCL and CUDA.
Since i've never implemented a CUDA accelerated program it's not that easy for me to implement such a plugin.
So how to integrate OpenCL and CUDA support into my plugin? Can somebody help me with a sample project or sample code?
Or maybe there is a way to force OpenCL rendering for my plugin?
Regards,
Jan

n900 have powerVR SGX 530 and in the fact sheet released by its manufacterer "OpenCL Embedded Profile" is mentioned for all SGX variants. moreover opencl is not listed as a supported technology for n900 on khronos website. thats why im bit confused .
im asking on nokia forum because i was hoping that someone here had closed touch witch opencl.
but thanks for the reply.

Mutt with GSSAPI and SASL support

I've uploaded a PKGBUILD for Mutt 1.5.16, --with-gss and --with-sasl turned on.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … 1&ID=13318
This is *very* handy if you have an IMAP server that supports login via Kerberos and have the requisite KDC setup. This way, no passwords are stored or sent across the network...all authentication is handled by the tickets.

Tora pkgbuild: oracle tool with postgresql and mysql support

Tora is a tool for oracle databases with some support for postgresql and mysql.
tora PKGBUILD
pkgname=tora-alpha
pkgver=1.3.14.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Qt toolkit originally for Oracle databases administration with some support for Postgresql and Mysql"
url="http://www.globecom.net/tora/"
depends=('qt')
makedepends=('perl')
conflicts=('tora')
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/tora/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz)
md5sums=('5560b5104438e1b71bd89386d0fcdc00')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/tora-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr
--without-kde
--without-oracle
--without-rpath
make || return 1
make ROOT=$startdir/pkg install
I'm posting this pkgbuild only for testing/research.
Fist, it's alpha (aka devel) version but stable release does not want to easly compile on my machine and it's too old IMO.
As you can see it can be built without the need for kde (good news for other WMs/DEs users).
The funny thing is that I built it without support for... oracle :-) That's because it needs lots of oracle stuff installed and I don't have it. If someone has, he can build a static version of oracle support (if you do please post some info here if it works, etc.).
The postgresql/mysql support depends on the qt package configuration. Current qt arch package does not inlcude postgresql/mysql plugin support. The next qt release will have mysql support at least (http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=1040, http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=1166) and I have made a feature reqest for postgresql http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&id=1244.
I'm still not 100% sure if postgresql and mysql should/shouldn't be put in makedepends (according to the docs and mailinglists it's not needed). I'll check that again when new qt release will be available.
In other words in such configuration and present qt version this application is pretty useless :-) (though it can be run). But I'm posting this pkgbuild for the others (if someone needs to test it or tries to build it, etc.). I'm sure tora will soon be more attractive especially for someone using oracle databases.

This won't work using a newer oracle instant client version though, since the pathes won't be set correct.
The Project TOra won't use automake, since the author refuses doing so.
Probably it would be a larger patching work to get it working with instantclient_10_2 (the current release version from Oracle).
Why so?
It seems as if the include pathes for the oracle client won't be set correclty, since TOra seems to expect a full oracle product installation.
The configure does not accept a --with-oracle-includes or --with-oracle-libs option any longer (in 1.3.21 it did). Therefore, TOra won't find in example oci.h, since it's not in any include directory known.
Also, some other files are not in the path TOra expects them to be.
Without the possibility of passing by configure options handling this, i guess it won't be possible to get this TOra version running with the current instantclient.

New version of app with subscription and newsstand support not visible in App Store

This might be more question aimed on Apple Support, but maybe someone had similar experience. Today at morning i've released new version of App for customer. This version have two main news - support for newsstand and subscription. Old version disappeared from App Store, but new one is not visible on any market. i'm quite confused, anyone have idea what happened?

Hi, Steven and Martin
I have this porblem now. My app is out from app store, because I delete the subscription in my app with newsstabd enable.
I'm a little confused, because I submit a new subscription - with a new product ID - because I can't reuse the first.
Apple don´t allow me update a new app without newsstand. Until now I hadn´t answer from apple about the new subscription and my app continuous nor visible in app store, but the status is "ready to sale".
At least, Apple should me send a message about this issue.
All the problem started because I set the tier price to subscription the same value to retail price (tier 3), then when I changed the tier price to amount the period subscription - 6 months (tier 90). This price (tier 90) was set to the retail folios too, so my magazine turned the most expensive in App Store!!!
Please, I'd like and I need to understand better how set differents prices to retail and subscription, because something happened wrong in my first try

Illustrator plugin with QT and/or wxWidgets - sample needed

I am trying to migrate my illustrator plugin from CS 5 to CS 6. Removal of ADM has come as a big blow. I am trying to find alternatives for the UI. Flash/Flex is not a good solution (It works fairly well, but there are other issues around it - installation, performance, interop between multiple UI, event based communication between C++/AS, etc, etc). Hence considering a C++ solution for UI -- either wxWidgets or QT.
I don't have much expertise with any of these. Any tutorial/sample code will be highly appreciated. Particularly having to embed these UIs inside panel created by AI.
Also, any suggestion on whether to go with wxWidgets or QT will help. I am uncomfortable with the idea of QT drawing components by itself - i have seen java swing trying to do it and failing miserably; qt seems to be doing it better though. The other issue is moc and having to use custom build steps. I will still use it if the benifits against wxwidgets outweigh the issues. Not sure if wxWidgets can be embedded inside panel, and how to handle message loops, etc.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Problems with orders and customer support

Here is my dilemma,
I NEED photoshop for school so I ordered Creative Suite on January 26 and they never delivered it, in fact they CANCELED my order. So I had to reorder it on February 2nd. They delivered it to me but in fact sent the WRONG ONE. So I was forced to order it yet again. After probably ten phone calls to customer service making sure I would receive the correct product in time. Finally after a month of dealing with these issues my order finally arrived only for me to find out that Photoshop wont work on my computer. I called customer service AGAIN to get some assistance. I was told the wait would be 5 minutes but I ended up waiting for over an hour before I decided to call from another phone at the same time. I was told by the automated system that "Adobe's operating hours were from 5am to 7pm" and to "please call back within those reasonable times."
Of course you can see how frustrated I am due to the fact that I have been dealing with these incidents for a month and I NEED these applications for my school projects and have had to resort to using Word for projects. Can anyone help me get in contact with someone who will actually help and get me what I need instead of me having to go through these ridiculous loops of annoying problems.

Well, no offense, but you're not telling us anything. If you want help, as a minor you should probably tell us what computer and operating system you are using and why it doesn't qualify. Merely venting your frustrations doesn't help anyone. You could also post in the DIS forum, if you insist on getting more direct contact. Not saying that the employees there can help you better - after all, they, too, are mostly those poor Indian saps Adobe chose to let handle support - but they will try.

My Awful experience with bestbuy and bestbuy support

I ordered a Cybertron PC from Bestbuy.com on 4/21 and recieved it on 4/25. Everything appeared to be in working order until I downloaded a program to help me with the fan speed on the computer and realized that most of them weren't working! After seeing this I contacted bestbuy thru e-mail and was told that it was within the window to return and I would hear from them in 3-5 business days. I was excited. Fast forward 7 days later And I contact the Twitter team asking what is going on, They say to email them @ [email protected] and theyd respond promptly. Fast forward another 3 days and I just contacted them again. I've still heard absolutely nothing from anyone outside of the first e-mail from support telling me someone would contact me. I originally wanted an exchange but now I am demanding a refund for this awful customer service, the lack of response and just overall bad experience. I will never order any product ever again from bestbuy after this.

Greetings AdamB413,
We received the e-mail you sent to our Twitter address over the weekend and Brendan, a member of our Social Media team, will be replying to that message. Please keep an eye on both your inbox and junk mail folders over the next few business days for additional communication.

Building gVim with Ruby and Python support (for Windows)

I would like to build gVim 7.3 with Ruby (1.8.7) and Python (3.2) support. For 32-bit Windows using 64-bit Linux.
So, I downloaded everything what I need (ruby, python and vim sources), I installed mingw32 packages. Next, I modified vim makefile src/Make_ming.mak (as described here: http://people.smu.edu/jrobinet/howto/co … indows.asp) by adding ruby and python patches and versions.
Finally, I tried to compile this:
cd /tmp/vim/src
make -f Make_ming.mak gvim.exe
and I get quite strange result:
make -f Make_ming.mak gvim.exe
gcc -c -Iproto -DWIN32 -DWINVER=0x0500 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 -DHAVE_PATHDEF -DFEAT_BIG -DHAVE_GETTEXT -DHAVE_LOCALE_H -DDYNAMIC_GETTEXT -DFEAT_CSCOPE -DFEAT_NETBEANS_INTG -DFEAT_GUI_W32 -DFEAT_CLIPBOARD -DFEAT_MBYTE -DFEAT_MBYTE_IME -DDYNAMIC_IME -DDYNAMIC_ICONV -pipe -w -march=i386 -Wall -DFEAT_RUBY -I /tmp/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mswin32 -I /tmp/ruby/include/ruby-1.8 -I /tmp/ruby/include/ruby-1.8/i386-mswin32 -DDYNAMIC_RUBY -DDYNAMIC_RUBY_DLL=\"msvcrt-ruby18.dll\" -DDYNAMIC_RUBY_VER=18 -DFEAT_PYTHON -DDYNAMIC_PYTHON -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -freg-struct-return -s blowfish.c -o gobj/blowfish.o

blowfish.c:1:0: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
make: *** [gobj/blowfish.o] Błąd 1
I'm a little confused, I use 64-bit Linux (C2D E6750 processor), but I want to build 32-bit program using 32-bit compiler, so why I need 64-bit instruction set? Any suggestions?
I'm not very familiar with compilation. It is a good way to build custom gVim?

I was surprised too.
Is very strange for me that a company like Nokia is currently supporting only 2 operative systems, as Vista and Xp and nothing more.
I have also Win2000 in a partition and I have no intention to buy new OS from Microsoft. I'm using Linux (Ubuntu) and I hope that Nokia will be really open to support soon also Linux or MacOS etc.
The market is moving more and more in the open source software and there are lots of advanced big spender users that don't want to use Microsoft software.
If Nokia will not change the mind I'm expecting many users, as me, will move to Linux based phone instead of Nokia for the future.
In this particular case I was able to upgrade my phone just in time, using the previous version of NSU but now, to do the same upgrade (same phone, same firmware) I'm forced to use the new NSU version which is not compatible anymore with Win2000.
Why I cannot continue to use the same version if it can work properly? Will Nokia will consider a patch or some version which can be compatible with Win2000? What about Linux?
Thank you

Setting the layer name from a format plugin with CS2 and before

Hello,
I wrote a new format plugin and the name of the layer shown in PS , when I read a file, does not seem to be consistent on all computers for versions CS2 and before : some times I get "Background" and some times I get "Layer 0" .
When the layer is named is "Background", it is locked. If I double click on the layer, I get a panel to rename it and the name suggested is "Layer 0" (and not "Background").
Somehow, it seems that my plugin is not doing exactly the right thing or there is a setting in PS options (or in the registry) that controls/causes that behavior. My understanding is that we can't name layers from the plugin before version CS3 (setting the layerName field in the FormatRecord makes no difference for CS2 and before).
I do not care much about the actual layer name as long as that name is consistent for all installations. Does anybody know what is going on?
Thank you!
Gilbert

If it has transparency, it has to be a layer ("Layer0").
If it doesn't have transparency, it is treated as a background.
And yes, changing the background to a layer does normally rename it to "layer X".

Best file manager with SMB and streaming support? Time Capsule access?

Constantly having to jump through hoops it seems, because of no file manager in iOS. Another simple scenario: have 2 disks connected to my Apple Time Capsule. Can accesss them with Android phones, always in trouble finding a good app on iPhone. Any tips? Wish I could also stream my home videos, etc from these disks. Documents 5 (Readdle) can access them via SMB, but not stream, which is nasty for large videos.
Thank you,
Roman

I was experiencing the same problem when I upgraded to a Time Capsule. To fix the problem remove all personal file sharing port mapping settings. Then make sure that the enable file share, and enable over WAN is on and checked for the TC, then update the TC. While that's updating go into the server app and remove any old file sharing protocols from the TC on the server app. Next add a new custom protocol by hitting the + name it file share and set the port to 140. hit the update button and wait for it to finish. Once that's finish go back to the airport utility and find the newly made file share protocol by selecting it under port mapping for the TC. If you don't have the newly made one in there make a new one your self. Name it the same as you did in the server app and set the public TCP ports to 140 and the private TCP ports to 548, make sure the private IP address is set to the same as your server in the reserve. Update the time capsule and you should be able to access both by putting in the appropriate afp://www.yourserver.com:140 for the server and afp://www.yourserver.com:548 for the TC. Have fun, lion server can be a little fussy!

How can i upgrade my apple ssd with SATA300 and TRIM support

i pick an 256GB ssd from my MBP and install it on my computer.
win7 reads it as "APPLE SSD TS256A" and the firmware is "AGAB0202" but it only shows SATA150 support, not SATA300.
in the test it also show 130MB readspeed.
the ssd model is THNS256GG8BBAA, does apple has an firmware update for this ssd to support SATA300?

Any AE plugin Xcode sample project with cuda for mac?

Hello everyone,
As suggested by the AE sdk, I start to create my plugin with sample project from the SDK.
However, I can not find an example with CUDA support for mac.
Now I have some troubles to setup an adobe plugin project with CUDA support for mac, as cuda files are compiled by nvcc.
Anybody can tell me where I can find an example to build an AE plugin with CUDA for mac?
Thanks for your help.

For anyone following along, I’ve been able to create a sample project that uses CUDA in Xcode, and will include it in the next PPro SDK. If anyone is interested in getting it sooner, let me know.
The most useful post I saw on this was this single post here:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/386632/cuda-programming-and-performance/integrati on-with-xcode-anyone-created-a-cuda-template-project-/post/2743943/#2743943

Any GPUs for Windows that support both CUDA and Open CL?

Hi everyone,
I was looking at this list: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
while trying to decide which graphics card to buy to take advantage of Mercury playback. I couldn't help but notice that there is not a single card listed that is compatible for both CUDA and Open CL in windows. Do I really have to pick one or the other? In that case, which would be more beneficial to a Premiere Pro workflow that utilizes a lot of dynamic links to After Effects? As a side note, I use Photoshop a ton, and would love to keep my GPU acceleration in that arena as well.
Thanks!
-Charlie

I believe they write OpenCL separately. They're two different APIs.
They are not that different, while 'porting' doesn't imply completely automatic process. Rewriting existing libraries from one language to another is something almost any developer is familiar with.
I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make here. Right now, you cannot use OpenCL processing with an nVidia card on Windows.
The point is simple: both CUDA and OpenCL are supported by NVIDIA cards. The fact that Adobe engineers haven't ported libraries for GPU acceleration in MPE on Windows from CUDA to OpenCL so far doesn't mean they never will. Hence the statement that a user-side choice between AMD and NVIDIA equals to choice between OpenCL and CUDA is incorrect.

Premiere CC to AME - H.264 nightmare rendering problems with CUDA on rMBP

I've been struggling for weeks trying to troubleshoot and narrow down my encoding nightmare on my own and I have finally succumbed to getting the forum's or Adobe's Help.
Problem:
Rendering a Premiere Pro CC project with via Export Media > Queue to AME in H.264 causes the encode to randomly fail on multiple projects.
I find it quite amazing that this error happens as I surely am not the only one rendering ProRes to H.264 on a new Macbook Pro!
Symptom:
Output preview starts to flicker then encoding stops randomly, preview window turns to a black screen or simply stalls while the Elapsed Time keeps rolling, PProheadless crashes in Console, encoding sometimes resumes after several minutes post the crash (but sometimes not) however the final output in such case is garbled before/after the crash. Computer is useable. All other software shutdown. Not using computer during encode. Can reproduce virtually every time.

http://pastebin.com/a93cNVqk
Attempts to solve the issue:
Tried encoding without external montior
Tried encoding with source on internal HDD, output internal HDD, source exterbak RAID, output internal HDD
Tried encoding with AME while Premiere is open in the background and without it opened in the background
Uninstalled other software that could mess with the graphics: Colormunki, Parallels.
Software mode is fine on all attempts in AME however encoding takes 2-3x longer. On a $3000 laptop it's not really great.
Encoding directly via Export Media > Export without Queuing to Adobe Media Encoder seems to work fine. I have not tried this too many times because I need to render multiple outputs and doing it without AME means a lot of 'sitting and waiting' to click Export for the next format. This is not an option.
Tried deleting the Media Cache
Completely reinstalled OS X 10.8.4 from scratch with no other software running and tried to export. Same problem.
Performed Apple hardward test. No problems.
To Test:
I'm planning on installing Bootcamp so I can test the problem in the Windows version and I could pinpoint it to a hardware problem rather than a software problem.
Notes:
Problem happens with CUDA and Open CL modes although in Open CL mode, the whole computer tends to freeze intead of just 'stalling'.
Editing and playback inside Premiere is OK! Even encoding out of Premiere is OK directly but not useful for me as I need to render each project to 5 different H.264 formats.
I hope you guys or Adobe's Support can find a solution to this problem because I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I've submitted a bug report but their reply is not very comforting:
but their bug report says "Due to the volume of submissions we receive, responses to inquiries are generally not possible. However, we may contact you if we need clarification on your submission." Nice.

Yes I considered your "solution" of just upgrading to Adobe CC but on principal I don't want to have to shell out more money to "fix" the problem. I was able to get an Adobe technician to view my screen in real time. He asked me where Prem Pro was after I opened it and my response was "precisely". The only evidence that Prem Pro is open is that there is the taskbar there with what appears to be fully functional drop down tabs but as far as the panels/workspace goes non-existent! He has "escalated" the matter I'll let you know what occurs next. I have tried using the software mode and there is no change. Like you I have wondered about a hardware proplem but I have checked via Disk Utility and there doesn't appear to be any? The CUDA issue well a) I am not sure how I would revert to previous drivers and b) when I re-installed Prem Pro from disc (that's version 6.0.0.) the only render option it gave me was Software only but that was also greyed out. Prem Pro still did not open up as it should!
I'll let you know what transpires.
