Not sure why the article does not reference the following paper which is a must read for anyone working with floating point: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.h... (original: https:&

I am visiting Boston and I cannot stop wondering why SF is not like that. The city feels so much more livable almost everywhere I went. I'm sure there are shady parts, but every time I need to go to SF for some reason I get really depr

Copying is usually not necessary. Often times you can swap data and/or shape arguments and get a transposed result out. While it is true that Fortran BLAS only supports col-major, CBLAS supports both row- and col-major. Internally, all

Those who do have same qualifications are still payed much much less. Anecdotally, when Intel still had offices in Russia our salaries including stock awards were 3x or lower than those of the US personnel. Not because of difference in qual

Nitpick... This paragraph is somewhat confusing. I think it is worded incorrectly: > Let's simplify the problem and implicitly transpose the matrix multiplication. Both A and B (our inputs) will have K (our reduction dimension) as

In my experience, EIGEN's threadpool is decent. But OpenMP (edit: I mean Intel's implementation donated to LLVM) is often faster especially if threads are allowed to be affinitized to HW processors. Another promise of OpenMP that

It will be very relevant in any field that does performance testing. And that includes compilers.

My guess would be that this is because of thread migration. (After reading the TFA: that's what Agner says right there in the 4th paragraph.) (After re-reading the comment: I guess that the OS changes would need to be extensive with li

This is completely off topic here, but the first promotion of Int64 -> Float64 is also iffy as not every Int64 is exactly representable. The Int64 -> Float16 promotion also looks weird to me because Float16 range is so small

It really depends on the domain. HPC is more frequently SOA (think CSR sparse matrices), while AOS may make more sense in other cases.

I think that this 'incarnation' of Novaya is also not based in Russia.

You have Russia actively trying to overtake Ukraine and yet somehow lack of military support for Ukraine should help negotiations? That seems to be true only if you want Russia to prevail. How can you force the sides to negotiate? There’s v

> And - speaking as an American - of course the American people are morally responsible if their government does something similarly horrible as what Russia is doing in Ukraine. That very obviously also goes for what happened in Vietna

They have offices in Ukraine. I got this e-mail as well. This is collateral damage. You can get an another domain. Many people won't get their life back. Fuck Putin, fuck the war.

Probably, if killed responsibly. The scene in the movie is just animal cruelty in my opinion (edited my comment for clarity).

Tarkovsky is a genius. The original novel for Stalker is a must read (esp. if you can read Russian). But I cannot watch some of his movies after I learned that he _cruelly_ killed a horse in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

The setup I saw is: there is an IP plan that documents whatever 3rd part IP you are using in your product (open-source or not). Someone has to sign-off on that plan, and sometimes developers do self-attestation that they have not deviated f

I don't think so. The new ISA that is in the SPR is mostly about deep learning: it supports int8 and bfloat16 ( https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3600/the-x86-advanced-matrix-... ). You can emulate higher precisio

I had in mind a scenario in which a cloud provider would have access to everything but would be disabling things and selling those nodes cheaper (or, rather, sell nodes with extra features for more), while maintaining a uniform fleet of nod

Am I completely misreading this? Theoretically this is not only rent seeking but also ability for cloud provides to be able to configure the same piece of silicon with different features based on demand / etc.

C++ is a mess from the backwards compatibility and portability point of view. Just try shipping a binary C++ library on Linux.

Authorized repairers often don't do repairs on component level, and sometimes ship your device to some place else to have the whole assembly replaced. Which is always much more expensive.
