6:25:06Shinmeradrmeister: That is deliciously ironic
6:26:11ShinmeraFor those that don't know there's a meme about nvidia graphics cards catching fire because of overheating
7:34:24heisig::notify drmeister Speaking of GPU programming, there is also SYCL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYCL). I know some people that are enthusiastic about it. We should urge the Khronos Group to change the name though :)
7:34:24Colleenheisig: Got it. I'll let drmeister know as soon as possible.
7:35:47beachThey should definitely change the name.
7:46:10heisigI can bring the issue up in their forum. Not sure how they will react though :-)
8:03:40heisigIt would be sufficient if they would declare a different pronunciation than "sickle", e.g., "cycle". But you are right, they most certainly won't care.
8:42:56beachI might have to come up with a different cutting-edge tool.

11:09:38drmeisterI saw a talk on OpenCL I wasn't sure what to make of it.
11:13:05drmeisterbeach: I'd like to parallelize compilation. Once the cleavir AST is generated - all possible changes to the environment from the compilation of the top level form have been made - is that correct?
11:15:43drmeisterllvm is not going to get any faster any time soon - so parallelizing compilation would be a way to significantly speed up building things.
11:22:43beachYes, the environment is gone when the AST is generated.
11:23:13beachSo all the phases from there on ought to be possible to run in parallel.
