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.

AMD Funded a Drop-In CUDA Implementation Built on ROCm: It's Open-Source
There is already a work-in-progress implementation of HIP on top of OpenCL https://github.com/CHIP-SPV/chipStar and the Mesa RustiCL folks are quite interested in getting that to run on top of Vulkan.

Vcc – The Vulkan Clang Compiler
chipStar (formerly CHIP-SPV) might also be worth checking out: https://github.com/CHIP-SPV/chipStar
It compiles CUDA/HIP C++ to SPIR-V that can run on top of OpenCL or Level Zero. (It does require OpenCL's compute flavored SPIR-V, instead of graphics flavored SPIR-V as seen in OpenGL or Vulkan. I also think it requires some OpenCL extensions that are currently exclusive to Intel NEO, but should on paper be coming to Mesa's rusticl implementation too.

In the next 5 years, what do you think can push OpenCL adoption?
Regarding the second item (CUDA to OpenCL), have a look at hipstar: https://github.com/CHIP-SPV/hipstar

Sony's Playstation Portal hacked, can now emulate PSP games
Oh neat! Thanks for the information.
> running Steam on Bazzite (https://bazzite.gg) inside Proxmox.
Does this mean you can pass the gyro controls onto Steam Link or GeForce Now or some such? I have no interest in retro games, but it would be awesome to use gyro aiming for shooters...

Project Bluefin: an immutable, developer-focused, Cloud-native Linux
I went looking for KDE, but was disappointed. From the FAQ on https://projectbluefin.io/:
> What if I want something like KDE or another window manager?
> Bluefin is an opinionated GNOME experience. However Universal Blue provides a maintained set of base images for anyone to be able to make a custom image. We hope Bluefin acts as an inspiration for others to build their own communities around user experiences. For example check out Bazzite if you want a great KDE gaming experience, similar to SteamOS.
The Bazzite link 404s, but there is info at https://universal-blue.org/blog/2023/11/08/bazzite-20/ and https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite. Seems mostly focused on SteamDeck.

Thorium – Radioactive Chromium Fork
It's a cool list of patches.
I love these projects that bundle a bunch of cool things together with a base thing. Bazzite is a SteamOS project that similarly bundles all kinds of crazy things, and was a very popular recent submission, for another example. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38828040 https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite
The maintenance style here looks difficult. They seem to somehow take chunks of new chromium releases and make commits with those dropped in changes, and fix random stuff for a while. Looks very arduous. It makes me appreciate a somewhat opposed style, the Debian's Quilt model, where you have take the upstream and keep reapplying a set of patches to upstream. Maintaining is then just re-hacking any patches that break, and authoring new patches, whenever reapplying breaks. Seems like it'd be much easier to maintain, long run.
I was also hoping for something like the Quilt model because it seemed like it would be a good way to learn some shit about Chromium! Having the patches on hand would point to some key parts of the code-base, I feel! Im not sure how I'd learn what went into this fork, other than meticulously going through history. The readme also doesn't link to where it sources it's many patches from (which is another thing Bazzite did an excellent job of!).
Kind of interesting seeing a spreading focus on using more/modern x86-64 extensions spreading. Ubuntu is dabbling with what they are calling x86-64-v3, Red Hat too. https://www.phoronix.com/news/RedHat-RHEL10-x86-64-v3-Explor...

I forked SteamOS for my living room PC
Hadn't heard of Bazzite.
> Bazzite is an OCI image that serves as an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck, and a ready-to-game SteamOS-like for desktop computers, living room home theater PCs, and numerous other handheld PCs.
https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/
Worth visiting the readme even if not interested. There's a huge list of included stuff, and a lot of it seems really cool.and helpful (for gamers or streamers mostly).

When will STEAM OS become public distro?
check out bazzite, it's basically steamos but fedora based instead of arch based, has the same immutable root layout for stability and smooth upgrades and as long as youre not using nvidia graphics you can use gaming mode with the bazzite-deck image
What are some alternatives?
FluidX3D - The fastest and most memory efficient lattice Boltzmann CFD software, running on all GPUs via OpenCL.
Jovian-NixOS - Discussions: https://matrix.to/#/#Jovian-Experiments:matrix.org
OpenCL-Wrapper - OpenCL is the most powerful programming language ever created. Yet the OpenCL C++ bindings are cumbersome and the code overhead prevents many people from getting started. I created this lightweight OpenCL-Wrapper to greatly simplify OpenCL software development with C++ while keeping functionality and performance.
ublue - A familiar(ish) Ubuntu desktop for Fedora Silverblue.
Cgml - GPU-targeted vendor-agnostic AI library for Windows, and Mistral model implementation.
