[Brook-devs] RE: Brook for GPUs

[Nick T. <ni...@nv...>]

Hi folks,

I'm having trouble building Brook.  It's on a brand new WinXP installation,
with Cygwin (only gcc, g++, make, flex, bison, binutils), ActivePerl 5.8.0,
and Python 2.3.3 installed.  I'm hoping someone can help.

When I just type make, I get the non-helpful "Error 255" from make.  Any
ideas?

Thanks, and happy new year.

   Brook for GPUs is an active research project at the Stanford University
Computer Graphics Lab to explore general purpose computing on modern
programmable graphics hardware.  BrookGPU is a compiler and runtime
implementation of the Brook stream programming language which provides an
easy, C-like programming environment for today's GPU.

   The Beta version of our software is now available for download.  If you
are interested in GPU programming and would like to try BrookGPU, please
visit the link above.

Features:
   * C-like language for data parallel programming on the GPU.
   * No graphics or GPU programming experience needed.
   * Support for both ATI Radeon 9x00 and NVIDIA GeForceFX/QuadroFX
     hardware, using both DirectX and OpenGL APIs.
   * Complete CPU fall back implementation

Brook for GPUs is an ongoing research project at the Stanford University
Graphics Lab which is funded by IBM, SONY, ATI, NVIDIA, DARPA, and the DOE.
