I believe there's a hint towards the end of the article: > Note: Perlmutter’s “AI performance” is based on Nvidia’s half-precision numerical format (FP16 Tensor Core) with Nvidia’s…

similar boxes are on amazon, with worse(ish) specs under the brand "Protectli "

this is a reasonable test: https://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/ref.html but it's pretty straightforward to just copy giant buffers in order/out of order and squint really hard at th…

I too was confused by this. Bad naming!

I'm another user of the predecessor to Conducto. We're using it to orchestrate very large regression test (usually ~40-50k independent processes run as part of the regression testi…

I've been going with this style for things like reading files (with retries) or any sort of loop that feels awkward. while (1) { int ret = ...; if (ret == ...) break; if (ret == so…

in C, it items[0] could segfault, the fault could be caught by a signal handler which does some unbounded amount of work, then populates the appropriate memory location and returns…

Another option for interesting generative art would be generative music. There's tons of opensource audio/music generation software (ChucK, supercollider/overtone, csound, vcvrack)…

Very little is done with these values in the fast path. The application in question is basically a smart proxy that performs a very minimal amount of formatting. Most of the code i…

Try compiling with c++11 turned on.

In this case, yes, optimizations don't appear to be giving me much of a win. Although, I'm very glad I checked! There are certainly some very realistic scenarios in which it would …

In this case I don't think that being clever can actually help us much. I have some microbenchmarks towards the end of the post that are not very indicative of any performance gain…

In the real world version of this problem the padding bytes contain some real values and the structs are both written straight to a network line (protocol is defined externally)

Thanks! I started with a fork of this Jekyll site: https://github.com/johnotander/pixyll so I can't take much credit for the design

I'll give that benchmark trick a try. Thanks for the feedback. For some additional context, these structs are packed wire-line protocol structs. In reality the padding bytes are fu…
