The work is being led by developer @zcbenz on GitHub (via AppleInsider), who started prototyping CUDA support a few months ago.

Medieval preacher invoked chivalric hero as a meme in sermon

Medieval poet Geoffrey Chaucer twice made references to an early work featuring a Germanic mythological character named Wade. Only three lines survive, discovered buried in a sermon by a late 19th century scholar. There has been much debate over how to translate those fragments ever since, and whether the long-lost work was a monster-filled epic or a chivalric romance. Two Cambridge University scholars now say those lines have been "radically misunderstood" for 130 years, supplying their own tra
