Autocheck To Check If Your C++ Code Is Safe For Automobiles & Safety Critical Systems

Being developed the past several years by the SYRMIA embedded software firm is Autocheck, an LLVM/Clang-based project to check C and C++ code to evaluate if it's suitable for running inside automobiles and other safety critical environments. Autocheck is now free and open-source for those wanting to help evaluate the safety of your C/C++ code.

SYRMIA announced on Wednesday that this C/C++ code checker is now available for helping ensure code is safe. What this LLVM/Clang

Mesa Eyes Pulling libdrm Into Its Codebase

Longtime AMD Mesa driver developer Marek Olšák has laid out a proposal to integrate the libdrm code within Mesa rather than being maintained as its own separate project.

The libdrm code is the library for accessing the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) kernel drivers. Libdrm sits in effect between Mesa and the kernel drivers. There is common code within libdrm as well as hardware/driver-specific code. Libdrm is most notably used by Windows but there's also other users of libdrm too for those needing to interface directly

AMD Releases AOMP 18.0-1 Compiler Based On ROCm 6.0, Defaults To -O2 Optimizations

As the first new tagged version of AMD's AOMP LLVM-based OpenMP-focused compiler for offloading to their Instinct / Radeon GPUs, AOMP 18.0-1 was released today with many changes.

AOMP is AMD's LLVM downstream focused on providing the latest OpenMP device offloading support to their hardware ahead of the relevant patches being upstreamed into LLVM itself. AOMP 18.0-1 is the latest version based in turn on LLVM 18 Git, with LLVM 18 stable expected in March .

LLVM 18 Planned For Release In Early March

Tom Stellard announced plans this past week for releasing the LLVM 18 compiler stack in early March.

According to the plans laid out by the longtime LLVM developer, LLVM 18.1 will hopefully release on 5 March. Yes, LLVM 18.1 with LLVM moving to a versioning scheme like GCC where the N.1 version is used for the initial stable release. Formerly this would have been LLVM 18.0 but now into the GCC-like versioning LLVM 18.1 will be the stable

A hot potato: Artificial intelligence researchers used to work in peace. However, now that companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and others are commercializing generative AI, the use of copyrighted training material has come under fire. Regulators in the UK are asking for information regarding the issue, and OpenAI recently responded.

OpenAI recently told members of the House of Lords that it is "impossible

Raspberry Pi 5 runs advanced open source AI models

(Image credit: Data Slayer)

The Raspberry Pi has been out for a few months now and we’ve had a chance to get a close look at what it’s capable of.  Now maker and developer Data Slayer  has delved into using a Pi 5 to run advanced AI large language models (LLMs) in his latest video. In it, we get an impressive look at the Pi 5’s ability to utilize local AI models.

Data Slayer is using a tool called Olama to manage and switch between

AI-generated bug reports are becoming a big waste of time for developers

TechSpot is celebrating its 25th anniversary. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust .

A hot potato: Generative AI services can be used to generate snippets of generic text, uncanny images, or even code scripts in various programming languages. But when LLMs are employed to fake actual bug reports, the result can be largely detrimental to a project's development.

Daniel Stenberg, the original author and lead developer of the curl software , recently wrote about the problematic effects LLMs and AI models are having on the

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory trained a large language model (LLM) the size of ChatGPT on the Frontier supercomputer and only needed 3,072 of its 37,888 GPUs to do it. The team published a research paper that details how it pulled off the feat and the challenges it faced along the way.

The Frontier supercomputer is equipped with 9,472 Epyc 7A53 CPUs and 37,888 Radeon Instinct 37
