Next-Gen GPU

[anon71893420]

For those who may not know Nirved is embarking on a couple of tasks to improve OpenCL performance and quality of life.

I’m very interested to see how this pans out.

OpenCL compiler for AMD GPUs (cycles only)

The goal of this project is to remove the constant compilation of kernels, and to up the performance, probably surpassing similar spec GPUs from other vendors. Progress: 2020-10-06: string -> pp-tokens 2020-10-18: lexer, parser, preprocessing TODO: validator code generator optimizations
