News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Couldn't find too many simple alternatives, so, wrote my own while on vacation for fun. Hopefully it's useful as open source, will fix-up CI over weekend and add a lock-free (not atomic free) allocator while I'm at it.

Depends. Right now they're in two different spaces. One still hanging on to graphics/gaming, the other coming from dense compute space. We'll see how long it takes them to converge.

Better programmable gather/scatter (like described here: https://www.nextplatform.com/2017/09/14/shedding-light-dark-...) can definitely open up a wider range of applications to vectorization.
