While in general I am very much in favour of playing both sides of an abstraction, I would argue that RTL is nowhere near the top of the stack. In the GPU world, you have games, which are built on game engines, which…
Modern gpus + drover stack usually had more than one frame in flight. You have to output a frame every 4ms, but you do not need the latency from the start of the application rendering code to the frame being on screen…
I think multisampling may be the answer. For partial rendering all samples must be written out, but for the final one you can resolve(average) them before writeout.
GPU hardware architecture. It's just a never ending stream of fun problems to solve and I love it!
On reading your original post again, what you experienced (both being super exhausted after work, and a shower helping) resonates with my what I felt early on in my career. Things that helped were - Take care of primary…
Kids. That's it, really, and I love it. Nothing makes me snap out of it like being assigned a role from Paw Patrol by my two year old, and going off on some rescue mission. It's pure bliss.
I totally agree that the existence of these drugs make the world a better place. I also totally agree that there should be significant financial upside to developing drugs like these, after all we do want to incentivise…
That particular drug was on the news in Norway this week because it is so incredibly expensive that the state don't want to pay for it. We are talking 20-30k USD per month per patient. I partially excused that mentally…
It works in Firefox on my a32
I don't think they can use jpg directly, that would be a waste of transistors given that the graphics world use other compression formats like etc1, bc, astc and so on. It is however perfectly possible to decode blocks…
Micropolygons. He said on twitter that most of the triangles are pixel sized or smaller. This approach would fall flat on its face with large primitives: - The for loop in the rasterizing code would get very large…
Are the consequences of the massive energy usage also opt-in?
I'll wager a guess: ASML, the Dutch company that makes the magic machines TSMC(and others) use to make chips.
I agree with that - but if you take an unchanged core and manufacture it at a different node, then you won't see a change in IPC, which in my book makes it questionable to attribute IPC gains to the process node.
Process node changes generally doesn't do anything for IPC - those are generally rather due to microarchitecture improvements, so I doubt the move to 5nm has anything to do with the IPC gain..?
Mobile GPUs (Imagination PowerVR, Qualcomm Adreno, Arm Mali, Apple's GPU) are exactly that.
Some of these are pure gold! "2:4 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more like a controlled use of shared memory."
I used Meshuggah - Bleed and a carrying harness to get my then 2 month old to sleep. Close enough to white noise, and motivation for daddy to keep rocking. Not sure I want to read research on whether that was a good…
I live in Northern Norway in eastern Finnmark. This article seems to miss these points - When you are sufficiently far north, winter means beautiful snowy landscapes, aurora borealis, good stable conditions for cross…
I do wonder what this means for Arm's Mali GPUs if this goes through.
I'd argue that modern GPUs pipelines are quite different from the API programming models they support, especially tile based renderers do lots of funny things while maintaining the illusion that you are running on the…
I was in Kenya just after this, when Miguna Miguna went missing for a few days (people feared he had been disappeared,but he "just" got deported). As chance would have it, I was in his home town. Quite heavy…
So you see it as a general career progression impediment - even the gifted gets "slowed down" progression wise? Are you talking from personal experience, or guessing? I strongly suspect a lot of this depends heavily on…
> reality is, if your team is 80-90% not remote, forget about career advancement. That's quite a sweeping statement - and doesn't resonate with me at all. I fit that statistic, but I work in a company that has a mature…
Yearly reviews, where high performers get recognized and promoted. My career progression has matched that of my peers, so I have no complaints there.
