I wonder if something like AMD's SSD+GPU combo would improve the performance of this? Increasing the usable buffer size.

How is cheating an a professional game ('esport') not equivalent to financial fraud when cheating in an other professional game (physical sport) is?

I cant think of any serious constraint solvers without some sort of optimization support, are there any?

I wonder if Octave would benefit from something like Graal, for some common JIT infrastructure.

I take back what I said, they do use the higher end variant of exactly that cpu: I7-4980HQ although it's probably aggressively clocked and or binned.

If it loads quickly, why not? My connection is a sub 3ms ping to the nearby datacenters, what exactly is the bottleneck? It's not to say there isn't a place for SPAs but I would ar…

That is a 47w CPU. That is way higher than the TDP of most laptops allows for (displays, discreet GPUs, etc). The 15" MBP only has an 85W charger, which must both charge the batter…

Google has implemented their own deep learning chip with no CUDA support and its serving their purposes well. Why not another industry giant, Intel?
