Definitely in awe with Alyssa’s work, Open source Arc support is in great hands.
The link in "onto the next challenge" is to an Intel page
Introduction to the Xe-HPG Architecture
I was hoping it'd link to FEX-emu. Would have loved if they went full time on that. Still, age 23 and done all that. At 23 I finished college and by age 30 still felt like a junior developer, mid at best
Whoa, she’s working on Arc? That’s awesome!
I am terrified Intel is going to shutter Arc TBH, but Battlemage is good! If they don’t trash it, they have so much to claw away from Nvidia's stupid VRAM cartel (and AMD inexplicably going along with it), plus their own fab capacity to break out of the TSMC AI squeeze.
Intel's compute software is a series of scattered messes too, which makes me wonder if she’s kicking off another emulation project. But for what API?
