    Rusticl OpenCL Driver Nearing Cross-Vendor Shared Virtual Memory Support

    Phoronix: Rusticl OpenCL Driver Nearing Cross-Vendor Shared Virtual Memory Support

      It makes developing with OpenCL easier, but actively using it comes at a great performance cost. So demand isn't that great, which is why other stacks prioritized other more useful features. But it makes a nice marketing headline "Hey, we are the first to implement this thing that most people do not want to use."

              Do you mean that the Biden administration says that it's memory-safe?

                You can always use Clover. It's written in C++ so it has to be much better than software written in that horrible Rust right?
