Hey Everybody!

Sorry for the late meeting reminder!

Yes, we do have a meeting tomorrow at the Hudson Public Library! Time: 7PM

I'm hoping to be there in person, but I may have to attend virtually.

I'm floundering a bit on a topic at the moment, if someone has an idea, please let me know. Next month I'd like to get Dick to talk to about the photo editing software. Zori has also expressed an interest in talking about TrueNAS. TrueNAS Scale is also an interesting product as well. So this meeting might be an open topic meeting.

Thanks, Tim.

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.  (I do not know either) On 5/12/2022 10:51 AM, Joel via WLUG wrote:

I hope some of us can come in for the physical meeting! I'm looking forward to meeting some folks and going out for food afterward like we usually do. - Josh On Thu, May 12, 2022 at 3:43 PM John Stoffel wrote:

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.
