A pedantic Pete would mention C++ has member functions.

Runtime dispatch is still a PITA in Highway, especially compared to ISPC. A simple algorithm or kernel becomes a multi-file macro-hell, basically.

To do what? If you need the highest performance GPU kernel performance on NVidia HW, using CUDA is the way to go.

Sloppy McSlopface.

My a7CR seems to be supported - will try this out later.

... and exactly three fingers, and not six, for example.

You don't understand. In the modern AI-infested World, it is more important to make grandioese claims with em-dashes or periods working as hype-catalyst, than it is to be correct.

Indeed.

That's not nearly enough, though. The multi-node/GPU inference and specifically batching (and ordering in batching) have non-deterministic consequences for the current LLM services.

The FP math is deterministic. However, the environments in which inference is run and specifically batching make current LLM services practically non-deterministic.

"Wave function collapse" - such a fancy name for a relatively simple algorithm without any connection to actual wave functions.

I would rather have some meaningful progress on the Windows scheduler, for example.

Ahh, a Windows problem surfaces - so does a registry hack allegedly fixing the problem. That's basically the (sad) story of Windows today.

Usually a new language is facing the ecosystem mass issue - the previously used language, e.g., C++ has already the critical mass with available libraries and frameworks. Getting to the same level of ecosystem maturity with a new language will take a long time, as seen with Rust.

Only an em dash missing in between to be chefs-kiss-perfect.

Why is it called "ROCm” (with the strange capitalization) in the first place? This may sound silly, but in order to compete, every detail matters, including the name.

It almost reads as you were not a fan.

Completely agreed. However, typically a new tool needs to be significantly better for that to happen. In many ways, I see Meson already being that but it hasn't really gained traction at scale.

Considering that Claude sometimes confuses the identities of itself and the user, this might as well cite the user - "you just said X".

People using CMake might want to build the same code on multiple platforms - this is trivially achievable, unlike with Make.

Cmake might suck, but is arguably the de-facto now. It's not standard, since the C++ committee does not want to deal with the real world (tooling).

The em dash - it's always the em dash.

The same AI tool could have written a de-facto CMakeLists.txt file for you.

It's a pile of paper. Not sure my description sells it any better.

Who really needs more than warmth, shelter and something to eat and drink?

You wouldn't download a downloader.

Good riddance.

Fixed: I am so excited to take these millions of dollars.

Seriously good-looking gfx - kudos!

Good times. Our DOS game PaybackTime 2 was only capable of using conventional memory. That was a major reason for the game really not having any proper animations for its player characters.
