There's many open source ones around. Also graphics acceleration makes it hard to do from scratch rather than using using the 3D APIs but I guess you could in principle go bare iron on hardware that has published specs such as AMD, or

Accelerating fossil fuel usage and while adding renewables to the mix is not going to pan out well. Accelerating the climate catastrophe is not pro-human. It might be pro-progress for some definition I guess if you don't mind the death

It's a broken benchmark since the CPU's shortcomings affect the results..?

Interesting that OpenBLAS and MPS are reportedly nearly the same speed although the README sounds like only MPS uses the GPU.

To mitigate the ongoing climate catastrophe we must ramp down fossil fuels use and production. As long as there's fossil fuels in the electricity production mix, electricity use is contributes to the problem. This report tells us that

Depends on your definition of graceful but the C standard doesn't preclude handling it and there's POSIX interfaces such as sigaltstack / sigsetjmp etc that fit and indeed some code like language runtimes use this to react to

WebGL and WebGPU must robustly defend against malicious web content making the API calls, just like other browser JavaScript APIs, which makes for some overhead and resulted in leaving out some features of the underlying APIs. Vulkan has al

Let's assume 3 million. That's about 30 per second. From compute POV you can serve that with one server or virtual machine. Bandwidth-wise, given a 100 MB repo size, that would make it 3.4 GB/s - also easy terrain for a singl

You want to be able to replicate the build in your local dev env. And you're not always working on a mature project, you first get it working locally. CICD tends to be slow and hard to debug.

Look how long SPARC, z/Architecture, PowerPC etc have kept going even after they lost their strong positions on the market (a development which is nowhere in sight for x86), and they had a tiny fraction of the inertia of x86 softare ba
