I've been experimenting with the D/AVE 2D GPU on the DA14706 SoC for rendering a watch face.
PICO-8, DOOM and BLE!
Running tests on the DA14706 DevKit which has the Renesas ARM Cortex-M33F SoC we're using in the RetroWatch. Take a look at femto8 which is a PICO-8 fantasy console emulator as well as a port of DOOM both playable using a Bluetooth LE connected controller. So far performance is impressive and we're excited about bringing more games and emulators to the platform!
Femto-8 Released!
femto8 is an open-source reimplementation of the PICO-8 fantasy console, designed specifically for embedded systems.
Realtime Flame Graph
Porting @brendangregg's profile.py and flamegraph.pl to Golang. The power of eBPF to render a user/kernel stack Flame Graph in realtime through your browser.
FlaskGPT
FlaskGPT is a minimal ChatGPT clone that uses Python, Flask, langchain and Chroma with realtime token output using SSE.

GPU Workload on EKS Cluster
Today I deployed my first GPU accelerated workload using the Karpenter autoscaler and the NVIDIA gpu-operator running on Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s Elastic Kubernetes Service 🙂
