Excited our paper on stencil compiler for @cerebrassystems.bsky.social #WSE has been accepted to ASPLOS . Using MLIR, without any code changes across three frontends we have highly competative performance against manually written code and around 14x performance of 128 A100 GPUs.

FOSDEM 2026 - Schedule

The best part about organizing the #HPC devroom at #FOSDEM is that I don't need to wade through half of the schedule, since I already know where I'll be spending my time.

Really helpful, since FOSDEM'26 has over 1,000 talks in a single weekend! 😱 😎 🤩

UPDATE: stdexec gets native support for ASIO!

HUGE community contribution from github user @RobertLeahy, an expert in both ASIO and std::execution.

With the new `use_sender` completion token, ASIO's async APIs return senders. Now you can program generically with async network operations!

I've put this little type-erasure library on github for safe-keeping. github.com/ericniebler/...

a screenshot of an editor showing a snippet of code that defines an interface, and a type that models the interface non-intrusively, and a type named `any` that is parameterized on the interface and that stores the model while erasing its type.

No Advent of Code for me. Instead, I've used the break to write the type-erasure library I have always wanted.

C++ doesn't make it easy to have both dynamic polymorphism *and* value semantics, but this little utility does!

Interfaces can extend other interfaces, and it works in consteval, too. 🤩

Memory loss: As AI gobbles up chips, prices for devices may rise Demand for memory chips currently exceeds supply and there's very little chance of that changing any time soon. More chips for AI means less available for other products such as computers and phones and that could drive up those prices too.
