Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

1000x speedup on interactive Mandelbrot zooms: from C, to inline SSE assembly, to OpenMP for multiple cores, to CUDA, to pixel-reuse from previous frames, to inline AVX assembly...
I verified that the limiting factor is memory bandwidth - and that once we switch to a fully CPU-bound mode (with option -p 100) the computation speed scales linearly with more cores.

GPU Programming: When, Why and How?
There is no on-going work to support Metal apart from the work done by Miles. There's an old issue about it: https://github.com/diku-dk/futhark/issues/853#issuecomment-5...

Is Parallel Programming Hard, and, If So, What Can You Do About It? v2023.06.11a
Functional programming can be a great way to handle parallel programming in a sane way. See the Futhark language [1], for example, that accepts high-level constructs like map and convert them to the appropriate machine code, either on the CPU or the GPU.

Is there a programming language that will blow my mind?
Futhark - use a functional language to program the gpu

Does This Language Exist?
You might want to look into Futhark, although it's mainly designed for writing GPU code.
