@philpax @BartWronski @gregmorenz I agree. And more to the point, once you actually get it running, then the open source community can incrementally optimizes pieces of it until it runs pretty well. The missing piece (that seems to have very little community interest) is ahead of time compiled shaders, which would also let you do custom WGSL extensions.
@raph @philpax @BartWronski @gregmorenz My experience is that this work needs commercial sponsorship of a particular shape. Research framework users generally will only use something free + open source, yet adequate support for a given piece of hardware is way beyond student or hobbyist work. I started a company that built a performance-portable deep learning framework and learned this and many lessons slowly π
