VSCode Color Customization

Published:
1 minute read

In VSCode, you can install various themes and enable any of them for different languages. However, the cooler thing about it is that you can customize each theme very easily.

Open your settings.json file and add the following tags. In the following, the editor background has been updated for both Default Dark+ and One Monokai themes.

    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "[Default Dark+]": {
            "editor.background": "#191d22",
        },
        "[One Monokai]": {
            "editor.background": "#191d22",
            "editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#282c35",
            "editor.selectionBackground": "#3E4451"
        }
    }

Also, you can change every entity’s color separately. For that, go to the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and find the option: Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes. Now you can click on any word/character in the your source file and see what its scope is. Then, you can easily change its color and format. In the following, I have changed something in LaTeX and CUDA using this method. (I have changed functions and comments foreground color for all languages)

    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
        "[Default Dark+]": {
            "functions": {
                "foreground": "#dada9c"
                // ,
                // "fontStyle": "italic"
            },
            "textMateRules": [
                {
                    "scope": "entity.name.section.latex",
                    "settings": {
                        "foreground": "#50b4b4",
                        "fontStyle": "italic"
                    },
                },
                {
                    "scope": "constant.numeric.decimal.cuda-cpp",
                    "settings": {
                        "foreground": "#a3ce8c"
                    }
                }
            ]
        },
        "[One Monokai]": {
            "comments": "#677d74",
        }
    },

Utilize PTX Just-In-Time (JIT) Compilation in CUDA

4 minute read

Published:

In this post I’ve written about how to utilize PTX Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in CUDA. PTX is a low-level assembly-like language that is used to represent the GPU code. The PTX code is then compiled to the machine code by the NVIDIA driver at runtime. This process is called Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. But before I write about how to use PTX JIT compilation, I’ll provide some background on why you might want to use it.

This is a collection of my dotfiles that I use on my Linux system. I have written about them in various posts, but I thought I can put them all in one place. You can checkout the github repository here, too.

Setup LAMMPS

Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) is a classical molecular dynamics code that can be used to model atoms or, more generally, as a parallel particle simulator at various scales. The complete documentation of LAMMPS can be found here. In this post, I will provide a guide on how to setup LAMMPS on a Linux machine. My setup is on a cluster with NVIDIA GPUs, UCX, and OpenMPI. Also, we have a built-in module system to load the necessary modules.
