Rust-Written OpenCL Driver Now Works On Raspberry Pi GPUs

([Mesa] 3 Hours Ago Rusticl + V3D)


Mesa's Rusticl driver as a Rust-based OpenCL driver for GPUs backed by Gallium3D support now works with the Broadcom V3D driver. This V3D support is notable as it's most commonly associated with the Raspberry Pi single board computers.

With the newest Mesa 24.2 development code today, Rusticl is enabled for the Broadcom V3D driver meaning it's possible to now run OpenCL workloads on the Raspberry Pi's GPU using this open-source code.

Karol Herbst of Red Hat has been working on the V3D Rusticl support for the past half-year and most OpenCL CTS test cases are passing. There are some known 16-bit issues though and various other minor features not behaving as expected right now.

In any event [1]this merge today is quite an achievement for Rusticl and Raspberry Pi owners. Rusticl works as well with Mesa's Asahi AGX, Intel Iris, Nouveau, R600, Panfrost, RadeonSI, Swrast, and Zink drivers. This new V3D Rusticl support will be found in Mesa 24.2 due out as stable in August.

[Astrology is] 100 percent hokum, Ted. As a matter of fact, the first edition
of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, written in 1771 -- 1771! -- said that this
belief system is a subject long ago ridiculed and reviled. We're dealing with
beliefs that go back to the ancient Babylonians. There's nothing there....
It sounds a lot like science, it sounds like astronomy. It's got technical
terms. It's got jargon. It confuses the public....The astrologer is quite
glib, confuses the public, uses terms which come from science, come from
metaphysics, come from a host of fields, but they really mean nothing. The
fact is that astrological beliefs go back at least 2,500 years. Now that
should be a sufficiently long time for astrologers to prove their case. They
have not proved their case....It's just simply gibberish. The fact is, there's
no theory for it, there are no observational data for it. It's been tested
and tested over the centuries. Nobody's ever found any validity to it at
all. It is not even close to a science. A science has to be repeatable, it
has to have a logical foundation, and it has to be potentially vulnerable --
you test it. And in that astrology is really quite something else.
