So I had to go through the nightmare of building a package that uses the Conan package manager.
First it refused to even start because my GCC version is too new. Not "does something wrong", simply "not in our supported version list". So I've created a Conda environment and installed older GCC.
Then it turned out that it pulls its own GCC 9 package anyway, and apparently from a server with horribly low bandwidth.
And then some random package failed to build because it ended up using my system GCC 15 anyway 🤦.

No więc musiałem przejść koszmar i próbować budować coś, co używa menadżera pakietów Conan.
Na dobry początek odmówił współpracy, bo mam zbyt nowe GCC. Nie, żeby coś z tym GCC było nie tak — po prostu "ta wersja nie jest na naszej liście". Więc stworzyłem środowisko Conda, żeby zainstalować starsze GCC.
W trakcie i tak Conan zaczął pobierać własną paczkę GCC 9, z serwera z potwornie kiepską przepustowością, muszę dodać.
A następnie jakaś przypadkowa paczka wysypał…

GCC: A 3DGS Inference Architecture with Gaussian-Wise and Cross-Stage Conditional Processing
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a leading neural rendering technique for high-fidelity view synthesis, prompting the development of dedicated 3DGS accelerators for mobile applications. Through in-depth analysis, we identify two major limitations in the conventional decoupled preprocessing-rendering dataflow adopted by existing accelerators: 1) a significant portion of preprocessed Gaussians are not used in rendering, and 2) the same Gaussian gets repeatedly loaded across different t…

@… Thanks, those are great! I’ve been eyeing Rust, enjoying the really well thought out support it has on STM32. I’m a C guy and wrapping my head around Rust is a whole other project. I’d really love it if there was something as clear as your series but using arm-gcc!

i have a weird bug: https://godbolt.org/z/vo1qYed8c
doesn't compile for me on arm-none-eabi-gcc-15.1.0 (and probably also earlier versions) because the assembler complains: "Error: registers may not be the same" - line 64 in the godbolt output. godbolt does not complain however …
