While the task of writing a brand new standard-compliant browser engine is infamous as being almost unachievable nowadays (and certainly so with Chromium coming in at 31 million lines of code), the Rust ecosystem has been brewing up a new web rendering engine called Servo. Initially created by Mozilla in 2012, Servo is still...

Most of the stuff went over my head, Why should I care that C is no longer low-level? What exactly is considered close-to-metal in today’s time, apart from binary and assembly?
AMD’s HIP Ray-Tracing library “HIP RT” has been one of the few projects under the GPUOpen umbrella that starts off as closed-source software but then is eventually open-sourced… That happened now with the HIP ray-tracing code becoming publicly available.
If you’ve found yourself manually crafting complex Docker images or repeatedly installing tools, I’ve got something for you 😁...
There’s been a lot of noise recently about contributing to Open Source. Many developers contribute to Open Source projects for various reasons, including building their commit history for recruiters or gaining visibility through badges. However, experienced Open Source contributors have observed a troubling trend: contributing...
Andrzej Janik has released ZLUDA 3, a new version of his open-source project that enables GPU-based applications designed for NVIDIA GPUs to run on other manufacturers’ hardware. The wrapper technology is designed to enable existing applications to run on new hardware unmodified, without the need for any work on their...
Release 14.2 of GDB, the GNU Debugger, is now available. GDB is a source-level debugger for Ada, C, C++, Fortran, Go, Rust, and many other languages. GDB can target (i.e., debug programs running on) more than a dozen different processor architectures, and GDB itself can run on most popular GNU/Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows...
Vulkan 1.3.279 debuted on Friday with many fixes/clarifications to the specifications plus one new extension. The VK_NV_raw_access_chains extemsion should allow for more efficient shaders compiled from HLSL sources.
Extensions available in RISC-V enable the customizations that make it ideal as a basis for open innovation. Here’s the extension situation as it stands today.
This tutorial will teach you how to use the OpenXR API. OpenXR is an API managed by the Khronos Group which provides a cross-platform way for applications to interact with immersive devices. This includes virtual reality (VR) headsets, augmented reality (AR) devices, motion controllers and more.
Eight years after launching the Vulkan database to the public, it’s approaching 30,000 uploaded reports from more than 3,300 different devices across Windows, Linux, Android, MacOS and iOS. With that much data available, good filtering capabilities are crucial.
We are excited to announce that with the latest release of Steam Audio, the complete source code of the Steam Audio SDK is now available as open source.

Sorts an array by repeatedly locating the minimum element of an unsorted part and placing it at the beginning.
With this step, we are opening Qt SVG up to support elements beyond SVG Tiny 1.2. This means that we will aim to include useful and common elements from SVG 1.1 and SVG 2.0, if maintenance is reasonably feasible. We will not aim for compliance with these standards but we will keep an eye on feature requests from our users....
