Reminds me of comfort noise in the telephone system. Even though the system encodes silences noise free (so improve compression), it deliberately inserts noise because otherwise people think the line is dead.
Here is one of them: https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cursites/csitinfo.cfm?id=0... Intel graciously paid for trees to brighten up the street and has a nice street sign saying so. (It doesn’t say why they did.) This…
Other phone manufacturers aren’t as prolific in updating the low level firmware of their devices once it’s on the market?
I’ve worked with many LCD panels: while they all support one of a few signaling standards, there is no standard for the cables and connectors. (Or if there is, nobody follows them.) For each LCD panel, you need to make…
Yes, but even for your WiFi example, fixes to work with a non-compliant third party are often reactive. In many cases, that’s the only practical way.
They already IPO’d. :-)
Last time I checked, HIP didn’t support reading from textures. That’s something that’s not only useful for pure graphics. So it is (or was?) not a straight substitute for CUDA.
Yes, but it means AMD will have to do the original work. They can’t use a CUDA to HIP converter.

Thanks for posting this link! I don’t care at all if a photograph from a photographer whom I’ve never heard of is a composite, but today I learned about the location of the moon North Pole, moon libration, and moon…
That was a very long time ago. Microcode can be loaded by the BIOS.
There are only so many ways to accelerate a CPU by speculating. I’ve written RTL that speculatively fetches data from memory in order to avoid bubbles in a pipeline. Not a CPU, but the concept is exactly the same. If…
Exactly. :-) And it’s great progress if people at least realize that they are, or would be in the same situation as that Berkeley neighborhood.
In the context of a belittleing “Oh, the horror”, it’s perfectly acceptable to argue that he has he right to not be happy about it.
That’s exactly what we did in our neighborhood: change the zoning to disallow structures with more than one story.
And then you spend $1M+ on a nice house in a nice quiet neighborhood, and suddenly you start to care. It happened to me, and just like it happens to virtually everybody in the same situation.
As an outsider, it’s easy to dismiss this. But now think if you happen to live on just that one plot of land in the street, right next to the development, that will now be in the shadow of the new building. Would you be…
AMD positions the $1000 Vega FE against the $1200 Titan Xp. The $700 1080 Ti has almost the same performance as the Titan Xp, so why not compare those? It changes conclusions considerably...
You start by talking about Nvidia’s behavior but nowhere in the article is there any mention of that, so you’re leaving us to guess what you’re talking about.
Very common. Two times, I accepted the counteroffer and stayed (for a while.) It didn’t have any adverse impact. I’m still at the company of the second counteroffer. My experience is that big companies are typically…
No, they are not. OoO is much more expensive to implement than simply scheduling a different warp to hide latency.
You can run a PicoRV32 on a dirt cheap Altera EP2C5 Cyclone 2 board. I have the RioRand® EP2C5T144 Altera Cyclone II FPGA Mini Development Board ($23 on Amazon). You'll also need a clone of a USB blaster JTAG cable,…
