An anonymous reader writes "Intel has ended out 2013 by publishing 5,000 pages of new GPU documentation about their latest generation 'Haswell' graphics hardware. The new documentation complements their longstanding open-source Linux graphics driver that has supported Haswell HD / Iris Graphics since last year. The new documentation covers the hardware registers and special information for 3D, video acceleration, performance counters, and GPGPU programming."

what a relief to find that the arguments (of the api calls) only need rot13 applied twice in succession. its not at all cpu-intensive, so that's a relief.
alarmingly, the result is returned in plaintext. waiting for nsa api v1.1 for the fix to that one.
