Apple GPUs didn’t have tensor cores until the M5 (aka “a neural accelerator in each core”) and in the article’s charts that a M5 Pro significantly beats a M4 Max (while in other workloads it would be much smaller since Pro is ~1/2 Max)

There's definitely something to be said for giving interesting people a platform to express their views unconditionally. Unfortunately, that can also be a very dangerous thing. I have been less and less impressed over the years with Le

This is very cool! I've been working on something somewhat similar over the last few weeks, but trying to be much more general and arguably over-engineered! I like the scope of this project, keeping it limited to Triton and specific ki

I made a few tools using nomnoml in the past, including control flow & dependency graphs for GPU assembly code. I really like it, the only negative was that there's no reliable way to push certain things to be positioned close toge

As a former GPU architect, that's really interesting, thanks! I didn't realise A53's caches were strictly in-order and couldn't service hits ahead of misses, I always assumed this was something even much simpler designs
