[Mesa-dev] [SOC Ideas] Find common patterns in real GLSL shaders

[Manasij Mukherjee]

Hi,
I found the idea-page recently and am interested in tackling the
problem labelled
"Find common patterns in real GLSL shaders".
Can anyone point me to any previous work attempted on this if any?

I am interested in this because I like compilers and OpenGL.
And while I have have some practical experience with compilers (GSOC
14 [1] ), my experience with OpenGL is rather limited, but I do
understand how the modern pipeline works and have written a simple C++
abstraction layer for OpenGL ([2]).

Would it be possible to apply for "X.Org Endless Vacation of Code
programs" at this time ?
If so, whom do I contact ?

Thanks
Manasij Mukherjee
