Also try playing with the can and the trash bin.

Not sure why the article does not reference the following paper which is a must read for anyone working with floating point: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldb…

I am visiting Boston and I cannot stop wondering why SF is not like that. The city feels so much more livable almost everywhere I went. I'm sure there are shady parts, but every ti…

Copying is usually not necessary. Often times you can swap data and/or shape arguments and get a transposed result out. While it is true that Fortran BLAS only supports col-major, …

Those who do have same qualifications are still payed much much less. Anecdotally, when Intel still had offices in Russia our salaries including stock awards were 3x or lower than …

Nitpick... This paragraph is somewhat confusing. I think it is worded incorrectly: > Let's simplify the problem and implicitly transpose the matrix multiplication. Both A and B (ou…

In my experience, EIGEN's threadpool is decent. But OpenMP (edit: I mean Intel's implementation donated to LLVM) is often faster especially if threads are allowed to be affinitized…

They support esim.

It will be very relevant in any field that does performance testing. And that includes compilers.

My guess would be that this is because of thread migration. (After reading the TFA: that's what Agner says right there in the 4th paragraph.) (After re-reading the comment: I guess…

This is completely off topic here, but the first promotion of Int64 -> Float64 is also iffy as not every Int64 is exactly representable. The Int64 -> Float16 promotion also looks w…

It really depends on the domain. HPC is more frequently SOA (think CSR sparse matrices), while AOS may make more sense in other cases.

I think that this 'incarnation' of Novaya is also not based in Russia.

You have Russia actively trying to overtake Ukraine and yet somehow lack of military support for Ukraine should help negotiations? That seems to be true only if you want Russia to …

> And - speaking as an American - of course the American people are morally responsible if their government does something similarly horrible as what Russia is doing in Ukraine. Th…

Thank you and all the OVD Info for your work.

They have offices in Ukraine. I got this e-mail as well. This is collateral damage. You can get an another domain. Many people won't get their life back. Fuck Putin, fuck the war.

> Norton CD Out of curiosity, I started googling, and this seems like a good place to read about ncd and more: http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/norton_change_directory_clon... .

Probably, if killed responsibly. The scene in the movie is just animal cruelty in my opinion (edited my comment for clarity).

Tarkovsky is a genius. The original novel for Stalker is a must read (esp. if you can read Russian). But I cannot watch some of his movies after I learned that he _cruelly_ killed …

The setup I saw is: there is an IP plan that documents whatever 3rd part IP you are using in your product (open-source or not). Someone has to sign-off on that plan, and sometimes …

I don't think so. The new ISA that is in the SPR is mostly about deep learning: it supports int8 and bfloat16 ( https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3600/the-x86-advanced-matrix-... ). Y…

There is a way to train with mixed fp16/fp32 precision.

Skip the dog part, but please please please try put as much details in the first IM as opposed to starting with 'hey'.

I had in mind a scenario in which a cloud provider would have access to everything but would be disabling things and selling those nodes cheaper (or, rather, sell nodes with extra …
