LibreCUDA – Launch CUDA code on Nvidia GPUs without the proprietary runtime
LibreCUDA is an open-source project designed to replace the proprietary CUDA driver API, allowing CUDA code to be executed on Nvidia GPUs without the CUDA runtime by using direct hardware communication methods. It currently supports basic functionality such as memory allocation, uploading CUDA ELF binaries, and launching CUDA kernels, although it is still in early development and not ready for production. Contributions are encouraged, and the project is available under the MIT License.
\'Agua, Agua\'
In 1905, prospector Pablo Valencia survived a harrowing week without water while walking over 100 miles in the Sonoran Desert after becoming separated from his partner. Seventy-five years later, high school teacher Bill Broyles retraced Valencia\'s route, ultimately facing life-threatening conditions when a buried water cache was destroyed by a coyote. Both stories highlight the extreme peril of dehydration in the desert, underscoring the broader dangers faced by migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border today.
Base 3 Computing Beats Binary
Base 3 computing, or ternary computing, utilizes three digits (0, 1, 2) instead of the two digits used in binary, resulting in higher efficiency for data representation and computational processes. While it has historical roots and advantages, including reduced error rates in cybersecurity applications, ternary computing never gained widespread adoption due to convention and the ease of implementing binary systems. Recent advancements suggest potential for base 3 in modern technology, particularly in cybersecurity systems.
