Using the C++ bindings for OpenCL
While the OpenCL API is written in C, the OpenCL 1.1 specification also comes with a specification for C++ bindings. In this post I go through how to use the C++ bindings instead of...

The Boltzmann machine
The neural network discussed in this post, called the Boltzmann machine, is a stochastic and recurrent network. This post contains my exam notes for the course TDT4270 Statistical image analysis and learning and explains...
Getting started with OpenCL and GPU Computing
OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a new framework for writing programs that execute in parallel on different compute devices (such as CPUs and GPUs) from different vendors (AMD, Intel, ATI, Nvidia etc.). The framework...
Making charts and output them as images to the browser in Django
Lets say you are working on a website made in Django. And you want to make some nice looking graphs real time, as images from dynamic data. This can be done by using the...
Competitive and cooperative interactions in biological inspired AI
In this essay, written as my final essay in the course IT3708 spring 2010, I discuss two phenomenas that are the driving forces for a lot of the complex biological systems in nature with...
Gjenskapingen av Hamar domkirke – Del 2
Da var faget Eksperter i Team over og jeg og resten av gruppa mi er stolte over å presentere resultatet av vårt arbeid. Som sagt i et tidligere blogginnlegg gikk oppgaven vår ut på...
Gjenskapingen av Hamar domkirke – Del 1
I det obligatoriske faget Eksperter i Team har jeg og en gruppe på 3 andre valgt oppgaven med å gjenskape Hamar domkirke i virtuell virkelighet. Det vil si at vi skal modellere den i...
Hopfield network
This neural network proposed by Hopfield in 1982 can be seen as a network with associative memory and can be used for different pattern recognition problems. This post contains my exam notes for the...
Pseudo-random numbers and sampling from probability distributions
One often needs a source of random numbers for use in stochastic simulations. Since a computer is deterministic, it can’t generate real random numbers, unless one happen to have a quantum random generator at...
Moore Neighbor Contour Tracing Algorithm in C++
This post shows the implementation of Moore’s neighbor tracing algorithm in C++. This algorithm performs what is called contour tracing i.e. tracing the borders or boundaries of, in this case, a binary image. The...
