Microsoft has updated the SwiftKey Keyboard Android app to introduce some new features. After the update, the SwiftKey app bears version number 8.10.34.6 and comes with new emojis and a new keyboard theme.

Swiftkey Keyboard app now supports Unicode 15 emojis. If you have a device that supports emojis based on Unicode 15 standard, you can now pick and use them in your conversations from the SwiftKey Keyboard app on Android. In Unicode 15 standard, 31 new emojis are there if you count all the skin tone variations.

There is also a new keyboard theme in the latest version of SwiftKey. "Fluent Adaptive" is the new keyboard theme, and it can be found in the Themes setting of the app. You need to scroll to the bottom of the Themes page to find it, and then tap on the "Fluent Adaptive" theme to apply it on the keyboard layout.

    I Spent Days Testing Google And Microsoft's Android Keyboard Apps, And The Winner Completely Surprised Me

    Smartphone surprise

    Don't write off SwiftKey like I did.

    If like me, you own a Huawei, the chances are that your phone came pre-installed with Microsoft's keyboard app SwiftKey. My initial reaction was revulsion, it was a mess and it made me grumpy.

    So, after 24 hours of being saddled with what I thought was an inferior keyboard app, I downloaded Google's equivalent, Gboard. In its default form, Gboard feels way more intuitive and user-friendly than SwiftKey, which just seemed too busy and clunky.

    I have stuck with Gboard ever since. Until this week.

    Intrigued by why there was such a gulf between the two apps, I decided to give SwiftKey another go. The results completely surprised me.

    ZLUDA v2 Released For Drop-In CUDA On Intel Graphics - Phoronix

    Image
    One of many interesting and original open-source projects to be started in 2020 was ZLUDA, an open-spurce drop-in CUDA implementation for Intel graphics. ZLUDA - developed independent of Intel and NVIDIA - is built atop Intel's oneAPI Level Zero interface (hence the name, ZLUDA) and allows for unmodified CUDA applications to run on Intel UHD/Xe Graphics hardware with near-native performance. Well, that's the goal at least but with the initial ZLUDA release were a number of support limitations. Out today is ZLUDA Version 2 that has been focused on ensuring it works well with the Geekbench CUDA test cases as an interesting stressor for CUDA on Intel graphics. Additionally, the Microsoft Windows support for ZLUDA has been improved while continuing to provide first-rate Linux support. ZLUDA Version 2 implements more host-side functions, a number of bugs have been fixed, I/O performance improvements, support for creating traces of CUDA kernel executions, and other enhancements for...
