Inspired by the benchmarking results for llama.cpp on Apple Silicon published here, I have used the llama-bench tool to produce comparable results on some older and less powerful devices, as well as newer ones. This gives an idea of the rate of progress in LLM…

Over the years, running PC/Geos has become more and more tricky, especially since running 16-bit DOS applications on Windows has first experienced increasing compatibility problems and then disappeared completely. Emulators such as dosbox have come to the rescue to some extent, but also required extra…
