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's CDNA 3 Compute Architecture
this is frankly starting to sound a lot like the ridiculous "blue bubbles" discourse.
AMD's products have generally failed to catch traction because their implementations are halfassed and buggy and incomplete (despite promising more features, these are often paper features or career-oriented development from now-departed developers). all of the same "developer B" stuff from openGL really applies to openCL as well.
http://richg42.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-truth-on-opengl-driv...
AMD has left a trail of abandoned code and disappointed developers in their wake. These two repos are the same thing for AMD's ecosystem and NVIDIA's ecosystem, how do you think the support story compares?
https://github.com/HSA-Libraries/Bolt
https://github.com/NVIDIA/thrust
in the last few years they have (once again) dumped everything and started over, ROCm supported essentially no consumer cards and rotated support rapidly even in the CDNA world. It offers no binary compatibility support story, it has to be compiled for specific chips within a generation, not even just "RDNA3" but "Navi 31 specifically". Etc etc. And nobody with consumer cards could access it until like, six months ago, and that still is only on windows, consumer cards are not even supported on linux (!).
https://geohot.github.io/blog/jekyll/update/2023/06/07/a-div...
This is on top of the actual problems that still remain, as geohot found out. Installing ROCm is a several-hour process that will involve debugging the platform just to get it to install, and then you will probably find that the actual code demos segfault when you run them.
AMD's development processes are not really open, and actual development is silo'd inside the company with quarterly code dumps outside. The current code is not guaranteed to run on the actual driver itself, they do not test it even in the supported configurations.
it hasn't got traction because it's a low-quality product and nobody can even access it and run it anyway.

Parallel Computations in C++: Where Do I Begin?
For a higher level GPU interface, Thrust provides "standard library"-like functions that run in parallel on the GPU (Nvidia only)

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
For GPGPU, I like thrust. C++-idiomatic way of writing CUDA code, passing between host and device, etc.

A vision of a multi-threaded Emacs
Users should work with higher level primitives like tasks, parallel loops, asynchronous functions etc. Think TBB, Thrust, Taskflow, lparallel for CL, etc.

C++ left arrow operator (2016)
Continuation passing monads form the basis of a perfectly valid and usable software architecture and programming pattern.
In the case of ostream and operator<<, this pattern reduces the number of intermediate objects that would otherwise be constructed.
If you object to iostream on religious or stylistic grounds, there's always fmt which is more like Go or Python string interpolation.[0]

Optimizing the unoptimizable: a journey to faster C++ compile times
Good catch, thanks! Fixed now. This explains why the difference was kinda low compared to another benchmark: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt?tab=readme-ov-file#compile-tim....

Learn Modern C++
> This is from C++23, right?
std::println is, yes.
> I wonder how available this is within compilers
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support says clang, gcc, and msvc all support it, though I don't know how recent those versions are off the top of my head.
In my understanding, with this specific feature, if you want a polyfill for older compilers, or to use some more cutting-edge features that haven't been standardized yet, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt is available to you.

For processing strings, streams in C++ can be slow
{fmt} has internal buffering but it's not yet exposed to users. There is a feature request for it: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2354. FILE buffering is not too bad but it can be easily optimized: https://www.zverovich.net/2020/08/04/optimal-file-buffer-siz....

adoption of fmt based logging
Automatic use of operator<< when that exists was present in fmt until version 9.0.0. In version 9 you could use FMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM to opt in the old behaviour, but this too was removed in version 10.0.0. Now there is no way to automatically use operator<<.

Additionally, if you like low level stuff, check out libfmt (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) - not a big project, not difficult to understand. Or something like simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson).
