Reminds me of a C++ codebase I once had to inspect that was entirely written as if it were written in Java. With camelcase naming for everything, getters and setters for every clas…

As this mentions some prior art but not rCUDA ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCUDA ) I'm a bit confused about what makes scuda different.

It also assumes all reads and writes are volatile. In the real world, threads can witness out-of-order execution in different threads.

In my opinion, Astron's PMT (Power Measurement Toolkit) is a much more useful tool than this, because it abstracts over Intel, AMD, and Nvidia (including Jetson): https://git.astro…

For GPUs: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.07260

All of the above

From the wiki page: "In 2018, professors Alan Benson, Danielle Li, and Kelly Shue analyzed sales workers' performance and promotion practices at 214 American businesses to test the…

Surprises me to see I'm the first comment here to say: I just use GPT4 for this. Works perfectly, even for getting the Latex source of a formula you only have a screenshot of. Prob…

In the city where I live, also in the Netherlands, we had multiple of these but all of them got converted back to normal intersections with traffic lights and it has been a huge im…

Brings back high school memories when we used to shutdown peoples mIRC client with a special message that you could send as a personal message to them. I don't know it anymore but …

There was a company in the Netherlands, can't seem to find the name right now, that rented out GPU clusters as central heaters, while using the GPUs to mine crypto. I believe they …

I think they refer to Lich. From wikipedia: In fantasy fiction, a lich (/ˈlɪtʃ/;[1] from the Old English līċ, meaning "corpse") is a type of undead creature. https://en.m.wikipedia…

Does anyone happen to know of a similar tool that can compare two codes for semantic similarity?

It's incredibly useful if you have many threads that produce a variable number of outputs. Imagine you're implementing some filtering operation on the GPU, many threads will take o…

I haven't tried WebGPU yet, is there an overall performance hit compared to direct CUDA programming? AFAIK Thrust is intended to simplify GPU programming. It could well be that for…

Ah thanks! That's good to know.

I bought the first edition when it came out, and definitely it was a gold mine of information on the subject. I wonder though, is the fourth edition worth buying another copy? Nvid…

If you want to go really in-depth I can recommend GTC on demand. It's Nvidia streaming platform with videos from past GTC conferences. Tony Scuderio had a couple of videos on there…

As a home brewer myself, I'd say it's not harder to make just more expensive.

It does. There's an overuse of graphs and especially the lack of units and y-axis labels on some of the graphs was annoying, but overall it's still a quite interesting and entertai…

I live in the Netherlands. My own gas usage was 25% lower in 2022 compared to the average over 2019-2021. We didn't do anything drastic to reduce gas usage. The first 3 months of 2…

Surely reminds me of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, where Harry is saved by himself as he at some point in the future travels back in time to save himself.

Brilliant! Wish the license was explicitly stated on the page.

Earlier discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15867918 Anecdotal, but worth sharing anyways: I read a comment on HN in 2018 from someone who mentioned a connection betwe…
