vikash edited comment on LUCENE-7745 at 4/3/17 4:44 PM: -------------------------------------------------------- oops i could not do that, i submitted my proposal by the way and if you check it now the latest edited format is the submitted version and sadly i could not change the github link, it only points to my home directory in github, but can I start working still and I shall give you the link that has my working and if it would be possible for you , you could show to the Apache Software Foundation my works, will that be ok? And since as I have said in my proposal that I will work from april itself so I will do some working and so will the repository I build for lucene and work I store there be checked by ASF can that help me increase my chances? And by whom will my proposal be checked? was (Author: qwerty123): oops i could not do that, i submitted my proposal by the way and if you check it now the latest edited format is the submitted version and sadly i could not change the github link, it only points to my home directory in github, but can I start working still and I shall give you the link that has my working and if it would be possible for you , you could show to the Apache Software Foundation my works, will that be ok?

With commodity GPUs having as > high as 12GB of high bandwidth RAM, we might be able to leverage GPUs to > speed parts of Lucene (indexing, search). > First that comes to mind is spatial filtering, which is traditionally known > to be a good candidate for GPU based speedup (esp. when complex polygons are > involved). In the past, Mike McCandless has mentioned that "both initial > indexing and merging are CPU/IO intensive, but they are very amenable to > soaking up the hardware's concurrency." > I'm opening this issue as an exploratory task, suitable for a GSoC project. I > volunteer to mentor any GSoC student willing to work on this this summer. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
