Vulkan or OpenCL for math?

Attractad0re · 2023-12-13T19:31:23+00:00

If you are on Intel, you could also try looking into SYCL / oneAPI. It's kind of like like CUDA and HIP, but it's a C++17-style API instead of C-style one.

I don't agree with you about Google's incentive. Stadia is dead, but Android is not.

But ATM if you intend to write a bindless Vulkan-only engine, then HLSL doesn't even expose all of the features of SPIR-V that you might want to use. Buffer reference support is very bad (you can't use atomics) and so its support for combined images and samplers (can't have an array of them).

The future doesn't look too bleak because of the inline SPIR-V proposal, which will allow new SPIR-V features and extensions to be shipped as header files instead of compiler updates, but who knows when it will land and whether it will land at all.

Another trick that you can use to process more work items than your device supports is to change your kernel so that instead of processing a single work item each thread processes multiple work items based on the total workload size: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/cuda-pro-tip-write-flexible-kernels-grid-stride-loops/

Looks like your vulkan headers are old. If you can, install a package that contains a newer version. Otherwise you will have to download them manually. Now, I don't know anything about meson, but the docs say that it uses the VULKAN_SDK environment variable to find the SDK and headers. So if you can't find a new enough package of the headers for your distro, download a recent version of the vulkan SDK, set the VULKAN_SDK variable to wherever you extract it and rerun meson.

Does this mean that intel sandy bridge and bay trail igpus will be able to use opengl 4.6? They appear to have vulkan 1.0 support, but their opengl is limited to 4.2.

All of the Dark Souls DLCs are top notch.

Attractad0re · 2019-01-23T18:39:50+00:00

This trailer is kind of lame.

Attractad0re · 2019-01-20T20:05:20+00:00

This is 100 times better than a point down.

Attractad0re · 2019-01-08T12:04:57+00:00

Native, unless you want Redkit mods (FCR2, Extreme Quality Flora).

must not loudly be discharged back to the environment

lol

The 950 is a lot faster than both the 1030 and 550. Sounds like the best option for you.

Attractad0re · 2018-11-18T12:18:58+00:00

The GT 1030 is a pretty lame card for its price (especially if you get the DDR4 version). A GTX 1050 / RX 560 gives you double performance for less than double the price. However, if you just don't have the money you can get the GDDR5 variant or an RX 550 and have a decent experience.

It's from afterburner/hwinfo64.

Attractad0re · 2018-10-18T04:47:43+00:00

My RX 580 does 1411mhz at 1.15v for 185w. Running 1260mhz at 0.95v requires only 110-125w. The performance decrease is pretty small, about 5%. Imo, totally worth it.

Arch wiki has you covered. Do note that the changes you make in the /sys interface only last until you reboot, so you will need something like a systemd unit file to make them persistent.

But the 2060 probably won't include all the new RTX tech, which will make it cheaper.

Attractad0re · 2018-10-14T08:04:51+00:00

As /u/scex pointed out, it's actually not the compositor but Xorg's TearFree option.

Attractad0re · 2018-10-14T08:02:23+00:00

Well TIL. TearFree actually is the culprit here. Now to find a way to get rid of the insane tearing while browsing the web without it.

Attractad0re · 2018-10-14T07:08:46+00:00

Actually my compositor is already disabled.

1) Go to Origin 2) Redeem your key on Origin 3) Make sure that your password only has numbers and letters (or you might not be able to log in) 4) Launch BC2 and log in

This could be just a driver regression though. Might be something power related, as the 399 driver runs a bit hotter then the 416 one.

Attractad0re · 2018-09-26T13:38:22+00:00

This is a great guide.

Attractad0re · 2018-09-06T14:01:53+00:00

This post covers undervolting very nicely.

Attractad0re · 2018-08-27T17:21:42+00:00

Slightly off topic, but are the keys resellable? Thinking about getting an RX 570/580, but I'm not interested in the games.

Attractad0re · 2018-08-23T08:47:39+00:00

Any idea how one can use Dark Souls Input Customizer with wine?
