The theory out there is that the 480 has lower performance due to TLB trashing. So it's not DRAM size specific but GPU architecture specific.

Your table doesn't include the new "tensor core" TFLOPS of V100. That's a core that does 4x4 FP16 matrix multiplication + 4x4 FP32 accumulation in one go. That's where V100 gets it…

And if that's too much, there are boards like this: https://www.amazon.com/RioRand-EP2C5T144-Altera-Cyclone-Deve... Together with a $10 USB dongle, you can get going for $35. It's …

Digikey is a terrible price indicator though. A good first order estimate for FPGAs is a factor of 10 between digikey pricing and volume price.

My wife's manager at big tech company used to get an email whenever she inserted a USB stick.

I don't think spending time and effort to optimize code for Ryzen will be time well spent. Would you do it if you had the choice between that or adding new money making features/fi…

A 1080Ti with 352 pins at 11Gbps has almost the same BW (484GBps) than a Vega with 2048 pins running at 2Gbps (512GBps).

I went from 2 1440p to one 32" 4K and 1 1440p. It's been one of the biggest productivity improvements since moving from 640x480 to 1024x768. The 1440p is now only used for minor st…

In my worgroup of 7 engineers in your successful high-tech company, there's on employee younger than 40.

I tried that at the Apple Store. It's an option. But there are so many programs that require ESC, so it's only a half-way solution.

Yes, the old Apollo HP workstations (on which I initially learned vi before it became vim), ESC close to the left shift. Very convenient.

Work: a metric ton of #defines that are generated by our hardware register addressmap generator, as well as a very particular file naming convention, which has a heavy mix of upper…

While, over time, a lot of today's annoyances with the new Macabook's will fade away, the lack of ESC key is a deal breaker for me. I tried it at the Apple Store and it's pretty mu…

In a large HR department, chances are you're dealing with somebody for whom you're just a number instead of somebody has a personal grudge. Nothing personal, just business is the a…

That's a rather narrow minded way to thinking about the issue. I've accepted a counter offer twice, and both times I was glad that I did. There could be many other reasons for a co…

They buy back stock all the time. Just a few weeks ago they announced a $40B stock buy back program.

Yes. And far more than hanging chads, that election was primarily decided by thousands of potential voters being incorrectly purged from the voting lists.

Depends what you mean by electoral fraud. In the US, the only electoral fraud that has a significant impact is one where groups of voters are prohibited/prevented from voting. Penn…

Gimping, in this case, is actually: adding hardware, that costs quite a bit of silicon area, on one chip that will probably never be sold as a consumer GPU. I don't see the issue w…

At the very least, you should have allowed new users to change the screen name first, and inform them of this. I assume you want commercial users to use your service as an alternat…

I just created an account with the LinkedIn login option. When I get back to the front page, it shows for everybody to see with my full name that I just joined snapeda. Why???
