During a three-month period, Sing1168 developed and documented foundational GPU architecture and design processes in the Purdue-SoCET/gpu-design-logs repository. They consolidated weekly design logs into a cohesive knowledge base, capturing microarchitecture, memory systems, and graphics pipeline considerations. Using Assembly and Markdown, Sing1168 detailed hardware decisions, programming models, and optimization strategies, including cross-vendor instruction sets and memory map planning. Their work established a repeatable documentation process, supported onboarding, and enabled cross-language integration planning for a Python functional simulator with C and assembly unit tests. The depth of technical writing and system design provided a robust foundation for ongoing GPU project development.

Month 2025-10 — Focused on establishing architecture decisions and planning for GPU design work in Purdue-SoCET/gpu-design-logs. Two primary features delivered: (1) GPU Design Decisions and Optimization Planning (Weeks 6-7): consolidated progress and decisions across graphics pipeline stages, hardware subset choices, FP vs INT operations, texture caching, memory considerations, framebuffer handling, triangle kernel optimizations, culling strategies, and programming model evaluation between OpenGL-style C and OpenCL. Commits: 5ba1998c39886399e1a67bec09a3cd046d18e4af; 79caacd5221299a90caffdf1a25c70562d9c9923. (2) GPU Project Documentation and Library Development Planning (Weeks 8-9): documentation and planning for Week 8-9 activities including fall-break progress, submitting abstract, naming library 'Nest', planning to implement C code and assembly unit tests for a Python functional simulator, binary file loading discussions, memory maps, thread synchronization, graphics library development, and Week-10 plan. Commits: 55add16eb28f6bc2048d209abc17334fc6c3deec; 06e9b39f6e07eb6990bf34ee3d8a36490f1c77ec. Major bugs fixed: None reported this month. Overall impact: The work establishes a strong foundation for GPU design and library development, enabling Week-10 readiness and a scalable, testable cross-language toolchain. Technologies/skills demonstrated: architecture decision making, design documentation, cross-team collaboration, memory map planning, thread synchronization, and Python/C assembly integration planning.
