I did learn many of these at university, but either didn’t fully understand them or forgot due to lack of practice. Using it at work was a game changer! — For many of us in the field of computer science, our early education in this area starts with the concept of big O or big Omega(Ω). Big O is used in computer science to describe the performance or complexity of an algorithm. Big O is used to describe the worst…

Writing high-performance code often comes at a cost of reduced portability and simplicity —Halide fixed that and we use it often at Google. — Introduction Halide is an open-source programming language designed to make it easier to write and maintain high-performance image processing or array processing code on modern machines. Halide currently targets Different CPUs Different Operating Systems Diff compute APIs like CUDA, OpenCL, OpenGL, etc.

It was surprisingly easy to achieve this with minimal errors using Google’s tech! I’ve been actively writing on medium for a while now and ideally I use my multi-monitor set up with a mechanical keyboard + gaming mouse for writing, editing and publishing and related purposes.

Why working on cloud vs. mobile (Edge) is so different? — I recently hit my third work anniversary at Google! It was on the 21st of May. I had a couple of colleagues and my wife congratulating me for this. That made me wonder if this is really something that deserves praise. Somewhere down the line, it took me on a…

Google sheet has easy macros to get price of US stocks and currency, but not for gold or silver. Here’s easy & free trick to get latest prices! I use Google Sheets for tracking my expenses, assets, and liabilities. Google Sheet has first-class support for querying the latest values of…

I have written about how Halide allows us to write both fast and maintainable code. This one will show its power with Android applications. — Halide is an open-source domain specific language designed to make it easier to write and maintain high-performance image processing or array processing code on modern machines. I have been writing a series on Halide and this article is 3rd one in the series. In the last two articles, I talked…

Writing documentation is an important part of coding. Here are some practices we “do not” follow at Google while writing code comments. — I didn’t come up with this topic by myself. I have always believed this to be a fairly subjective topic. It still is — but, a few days back I came across the following article: Comments: How Google Developers write their comments The more I write the code, the more I feel it. “It is better to be simple than complicated.” It is more advantageous to…paigeshin1991.medium.com

Write fast and maintainable code — Last time I presented how it’s possible to achieve high performance with simple and maintainable code with Halide. This time, I’ll share about the general concepts in Halide. Introduction Halide is an open-source programming language designed to make it easier to write high-performance image processing or array processing code on modern…
