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.

August 2022 monthly "What are you working on?" thread
I've made a lot of great progress on Grace, my bytecode interpreted language. Its syntax is inspired by Python, but it's very opinionated with some more "rigid" semantics. While there are probably some bugs I need to find and weird syntax errors I haven't tried yet that will break the compiler, it's got functions, control flow, file importing, built in primitive types and lists and dictionaries, and exceptions fully implemented.

C++ Show and Tell - April 2022
I've been working on my own interpreted language Grace (https://github.com/ryanjeffares/grace) using C++17. It's similar to Python and Ruby, but I intend on using reference counting as opposed to a garbage collector. Top priority now are classes, functions as first class objects, importing other files, native functions, and squeezing out some more performance - most operations are really fast but my function calls are a serious bottleneck, will need a refactor. It's my first lang after following Robert Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters and some other resources, been a tonne of fun!

ROCm Is AMD's #1 Priority, Executive Says
Its not that they're supporting buggy code, they just downgraded the quality of their implementation significantly. They made the compiler a lot worse when they swapped to rocm
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime/iss... is the tracking issue for it filed a year ago, which appears to be wontfix largely because its a lot of work
OpenCL still unfortunately supports quite a few things that vulkan doesn't, which makes swapping away very difficult for some use cases

rocm-opencl (rocm-opencl-runtime) rx 6600 xt support
There's https://docs.amd.com/bundle/ROCm-Installation_FAQ/page/Frequently_Asked_Questions.html which leads to a page which doesn't list any gpus that I can see, there's https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/release/gpu_os_support.html which lists "RDNA2" , there's https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/issues/1698 which is from last year and mentions changing an env for the RX 6600 XT (navi 23) . Not a lot is mentioned in the readme of https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime .

Horrible Code, Clean Performance
Thank you for subscribing to AMD OpenCL Facts! To unsubscribe please type AARRHGHGH. I'm open for questions though, and the bug report for this is here. For more mildly disgruntled rambling:
-
First time in 2 years I was able to get Blender running with an AMD GPU on Linux!
Eg this bug about shared cl/gl textures with mipmaps being broken has now breached its first birthday, without even acknowledgement - basic cl/gl functionality here. This bug took a year for a fix to make its way into a public driver. And this fairly performance critical bug is just "wontfix", and also a significant downgrade from their old driver stack

-
So far I'm unconvinced a 34MB binary blob is more free than OpenZFS.
Its definitely workable if you're willing to put in the effort (except for things that are straight up broken in some cases, like device side enqueue), but there are some issues that require.. fairly major workarounds

New NVIDIA Open-Source Linux Kernel Graphics Driver Appears
Their implementation is here: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-OpenCL-Runtime

C++ Show and Tell - April 2022
After a lot of moderately annoyed testing, I discovered that the AMD OpenCL implementation is.. rather dumb. If any two kernels share any arguments arguments, it inserts a command barrier between the two, hard-stalling the GPU. After filing a bug, it turns out this is wontfix as well, which is doubly bad. There's no set of flags in OpenCL that you can use to fix this either

[TPU] AMD ROCm 4.5 Drops "Polaris" Architecture Support
What's particularly bizarre, is that with one bug report I filed, they claim to have fixed it internally in april, but.. no public driver has ever been released with the fix. For 7 months? Which is just a bizarre software development process
What are some alternatives?
