Re: Reminder: Meeting tonight! Topic: Intel Pocket PC (and possible give away!)

by Joel

Cannot make it tonight on vacation with family. For future meetings, either WPI or a more Worcester-ish location would help.

Reminder: Meeting tonight! Topic: Intel Pocket PC (and possible give away!)

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting tonight!! Location: Hudson Public Library Time: 7pm Topic: Intel Pocket PC running RetroArch, etc. I was given four of these tiny pocket pc's. I'm going to run RetroArch on one and see what we get. I also think they'd be cool as a plex driver for a TV as well. Beyond that, there's a lot going on in the linux world, from the Intel pay for features stuff to the Nvidia opening up ( a tiny bit ). We should also talk about where we'd like to host meetings. I reached out to Frank and it looks like WPI is back on the table. Would that work better for people? See ya there!

Hey everyone, It looks like we still could use topic suggestions for our meeting on Thursday, June 16th! The suggestion form is set up to not require email login (for best results, open in a Private/Incognito window) if it helps: https://forms.gle/aBYhcHME1iK5SghZ7 - Josh On Wed, Jun 1, 2022 at 3:21 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Hey Everybody, > > I've got a schedule conflict for June 9th.

Change in meeting date: New meeting date: June 16th.

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody, I've got a schedule conflict for June 9th. I'm moving the meeting off a week to the 16th. We've got a Signal group going if you want to stop in and nerd out. https://signal.group/#CjQKIB4V_icJ7j26US0jRIAZoQtCbNXPk5LAm9qSyKGOhiEBEhBbD… Josh also created a quick topic suggestion box for meeting ideas: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRO4YZLTmeYlzOXO7T7Fr8aQB4JfCRqhs… You need to sign in to google to use it..

(I do not know either) I don't think this will change much. nVidia doens't have any incentive to open up their user-space side of things. This is really just the low level kernel drivers they're opening up, not the upper parts of the stack. The only way things will open up is when large customers require interoperability sot hey can move workloads between systems easily. Until then... not too likely. John

Does anyone want to speculate how this might affect heterogeneous computing ? I would be excited if there evolves a common standard between CUDA OpenCL. I might even be motivated to learn such an environment.
