Meson is indeed nice, but has very poor support for GPU compilation compared to CMake. I've had a lot of success adopting the practices described in this talk, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5Kg8TOTKjU. I thought I knew a lot of CMake, but file sets definitely make things a lot simpler.

I work in HPC and I’ve found it very useful in creating various shell scripts. It really helps if you have linters such as shellcheck.

Other areas of success have been just offloading the typing/prototyping. I know exactly how the code should look like so I rarely run into issues.

I would love to do this in the future, but knowing me I’d get caught up making sure I’m benchmarking properly then actually writing code.

It's not super complex. I ended up just modifying the locations of the layer toggle keys. In the default Miryoku layout, in order to switch the keys to a different layer on the right hand you need to hold a button on the left hand. I found this to be annoying since some actions like entering and using a navigation layer can be done on 1 hand.

I’d definitely recommend Miryoku for those starting out. You’re then free to make any modifications to suit your preferences.

I ended up making the layer activations happen on the same hand to allow 1 handed use.

+1. Learned about this in DB research course during grad school. Feldera is really cool.

Also I love their website design.

There are some solutions that try to tackle this in HPC. For example https://github.com/LLNL/mpibind is deployed on El Capitan.

Would be interesting to see if something similar appears for cloud workloads.

Do you have any good resources that go into detail on GPU ISAs or GPU architecture? There's certainly a lot available for CPUs, but the resources I’ve found for GPUs mostly focus on how they differ from CPUs and how their ISAs are tailored to the GPU's specific goals.

Wow this one of the most interesting things I’ve come across. Definitely could learn a lot by tinkering with this.

Thanks!

Would it be possible to leverage the python array api standard? Or is that more suited for just computations?

Zotero's PDF viewer also does this now. Being able to annotate PDFs and having a reference manager has been a life saver.

Just out of curiosity, have you checked out Spack, https://github.com/spack/spack, which has a lot of HPC users. Support for mixing and matching both system and from source dependencies has been extremely useful in my work.
