what does this have to do with the viking god of war like its not that hard to come up with some relevant name

[zokier]

The GPUs themselves are named after norse mythology (utgard, midgard, bifrost, valhall), the driver names have been related to those (panfrost, panthor, and now tyr). And the whole theme comes from the fact that the GPUs originate from Norwegian company (later acquired by ARM)

This shows how much I know about vikings. I immediately thought of Tyr from Roddenbery's Andromeda series: https://andromeda.fandom.com/wiki/Tyr_Anasazi
