You can saturate the entire power budget on pretty much all GPUs just by moving data in and out of HBM. There is no compute needed at all to do this, and bandwidth bound workloads are extremely common in the scientific computing space.

It doesn’t work per-song. Songs have multiple chords, some even with alterations. If you tune an E so that it is perfectly a major third above C, then that E won’t be a perfect fifth above an A note. The Am chord has the notes A, C and E

I’m trying to make sense of this question. GEMMs are dense O(N^3) work operations that have roughly the same access pattern and data reuse properties across all matrices. Of course, I’m simplifying things a lot here; tall-skinny and short-

The circumference of Earth at the equator is about 40,000 km and the speed of light is about 300,000 km/s. The appropriate division results in about 0.13 s. That seems to track. The vast majority of requests won’t go half way around

It’s a natural observation, but it doesn’t address the floating point problem. I think the author should have said “fast or would accumulate floating point error” instead of “fast and would accumulate floating point error”. You could compu

You originally called someone a redditor making a cringe joke for highlighting a serious historical problem. It wasn't clear to me that it was a joke at all, but my impression is that it seemed clear to you that it was a joke. What if
