That’s like (at least) third GPU-related project named Triton

  I was expecting DirectX in triton-lang https://github.com/triton-lang/triton

Pretty cool to finally have a decent open 3d solution for windows vms. Now if only someone made an opengl driver for older intel macosx vms...

  People are working on it!

  Not exactly what you are looking for... but I am working on a 32 bit intel mac emulator. OpenGL support is pretty far along at this point.

    Ooh, is this public anywhere? Definitely an area of interest of mine :)

    Not yet. I'm working on getting a release out by the end of the year. It won't be open source but there will be a free trial.

why always only DX11, why not DX12? Parallels and VMWARE can also do only DX11??
- tyfonan hour ago
  DX11 is much more high level while DX12 implements direct control over the GPU. 12 is much more like vulkan.
  I guess since this is emulating the device instead of just passing the commands to vulkan it is easier to do DX11, but I could be wrong about this particular implementation.

  DX12 is much more complex to implement. Very different API.

  I have never heard anyone diss qemu before. Care to elaborate?
  - asveikau3 hours ago
    The other thing is that qemu is so many things. It can be a CPU emulator, a full system emulator, and a frontend to a virtualization engine. And all of this for so many different systems. It's kind of remarkable that all of this is called by the same name.

    It’s called trolling. You’re not supposed to feed the troll.

    You never know what's going on in the mind of another person, they could have something going on that makes them feel negatively about qemu. We can project our stress into all kinds of strange places.

Maybe this is one of those topics to let an army of agents get loose.
Nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

  This is also one of things that needs to be well optimized to be any useful. Army of agents may get an implementation, but not sure it will be actually useful, and I'm also not sure if optimizing that implementation is going to be easier than more well paced use of LLM where person actually understands what code is being generated.

    You seem to contradict yourself. Army of agents doesn't mean the person doing that doesn't understand the code. And optimization is required no matter whether the bulk of the code is written by hand or by the machine. LLMs definitely make things actually doable where previously they were nearly impossible.

    This is quite literally, objectively what it means lol. No human will ever seen it.

  Energy consumption and CO2 emission it causes is a pretty big lose
