Matrix multiplication is one of the few operations that isn't regularly limited by memory bandwidth. BLAS implementations come with several heavily optimized, architecture-specific versions of sgemm.

EPYC 9965: 614GBps of 12-channel DDR5-6400 A100: 1935GBps of HBM2e Most of those FLOPS are constrained by memory bandwidth.

Copy Fail was found using AI and made our last week miserable (thanks RedHat). Anyone with access to a SOTA model can point it at any package in your stack and go fish. You're underreacting.

If the image contains information required to bring up the device, why isn't that data shipped in firmware?

At some point SBCs that require a custom linux image will become unacceptable, right? Right?
