Follow these instructions in order to run this app:
- 1. Downloaded this application in your PC.
- 2. Enter in our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 3. Upload this application in such filemanager.
- 4. Start any OS OnWorks online emulator from this website, but better Windows online emulator.
- 5. From the OnWorks Windows OS you have just started, goto our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 6. Download the application and install it.
- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

Sparse Attention
DESCRIPTION
Sparse Attention is OpenAI’s code release for the Sparse Transformer model, introduced in the paper Generating Long Sequences with Sparse Transformers. It explores how modifying the self-attention mechanism with sparse patterns can reduce the quadratic scaling of standard transformers, making it possible to model much longer sequences efficiently. The repository provides implementations of sparse attention layers, training code, and evaluation scripts for benchmark datasets. It highlights both fixed and learnable sparsity patterns that trade off computational cost and model expressiveness. By enabling tractable training on longer contexts, the project opened the door to applications in large-scale text and image generation. Though archived, it remains a key reference for efficient transformer research, influencing many later architectures that aim to extend sequence length while reducing compute.
