===== Ports and features that have been worked on during the workshop =====

^  New ports  ^^^
| [[http://pytorch.org/|PyTorch]]  | Tensors and dynamic neural networks in Python with strong GPU acceleration. | :( The participants started to work on this port but it turned out to be a little bit too big to fit in one workshop.  |
| ::: | Although CUDA is not supported on %%FreeBSD%% it might be nice to have at least some of the %%PyTorch%% functionalities available on %%FreeBSD%%. | ::: |
| [[https://tools.suckless.org/quark/|quark]] | Extremely small and simple HTTP GET-only web server. It only serves static pages on a single host. | ;) The participants successfully managed to port this software. [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226226|See the port submission on FreeBSD Bugzilla.]] |
| [[http://www.uperf.org/|Uperf]]  | Network performance tool that supports modelling and replay of various networking patterns. | :?: The participants started working on this but didn't manage to finish during the workshop. Uperf has been ported independently soon after. [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226649|See the port submission on Bugzilla.]]  |
| ::: | Suggested by [[/GeorgeNevilleNeil|GeorgeNevilleNeil]]. It should be straightforward as it already builds/runs on %%FreeBSD%%. If folks need help with this contact <tuexen@freebsd.org>. | ::: |
| [[https://github.com/mchav/with|with]] | Command prefixing for continuous workflow using a single tool. | ;) The participants successfully managed to port this software. [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226407|See the port submission on FreeBSD Bugzilla.]] |

^  New features and modifications  ^^^
| [[https://www.freshports.org/games/jfsw/|JonoF's Shadow Warrior]] | Jonathon Fowler's port of the 3D Realms game "Shadow Warrior". | <:( The game does not start. It is probably related to the fact that you need to obtain a couple of extra files to run this game (namely, ''%%sw.grp%%'' and ''%%sw.rts%%'') |
