No, wrong decade and wrong split - the test & measurement equipment and scientific equipment was long gone from HP at the time of the HP -> HP inc + HPE split. It ended up in Agilent (1999) and from there Keysight. HP…
How do get the weights for the right set of experts for a given batch of tokens into fast memory at the right time? The activated experts is only available after routing, at which point you need the weights immediately…
Why is there a new kernel driver here at all? It appears that all it does it allocate system RAM (“DDR4”) and export it as a dmabuf for import to cuda as mapped external memory. Then a userspace shim hijacks APIs to use…
This is not about reclaiming memory by swapping the contents out to disk. It is about killing processes due to having overcommitted beyond the available memory plus swap space. The processes thrown out of the plane…
It’s not a cargo cult if the actions directly cause cargo to arrive based on well understood mechanics. Regardless of whether it would be better in some situations to align to 128 bytes, 64 bytes really is the cache…
> even on x86 on recent server CPUs, cache-coherency protocols may be operating at a different granularity than the cache line size. A typical case with new Intel server CPUs is operating at the granularity of 2…
Do you use some old version of iTunes to put music on it or are there other tools with better support for old iPods?
This was in the “truth” posted by Trump on his social media announcing the deal: > It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL, a Great American Company that…
Are you sure congress didn’t authorize this ? i.e. actually specified that the money could only be used for grants and could not be used for equity purchases? > The Department of Commerce is authorized to provide…
I thought this too, but after reading some of the other comments here I read some of the text of the chips act and the 2021 NDAA (mostly section 9902) and AFAICT Congress appropriated a bunch of money for financial…

Are these instances actually funded by 2021 IIJA BEAD program? I don’t think Illinois has actually awarded any of that funding to providers to build anything yet. It looks like the original schedule was to start…

I think you are confusing uniform registers with the uniform keyword in RSL / GLSL / HLSL? maybe some vendors have had an equivalent to uniform registers for 20 years, but per the articles’ references they are new in…
I don’t think x86 as an ISA is necessarily declining much and AMD has products with zen4c / zen5c compact cores intended to compete with Arm server products. AMD doesn’t have to pay licensing / royalties for x86 AFAIK…
I assume the question is why AMD is not making EPYC or Ryzen processors with Arm cores for the application processors. AMD continuing to have the Xilinx line of FPGAs with some Cortex cores and having Arm management…
we could also look to magnetoresistance and go for giant, colossal, extraordinary
it's too bad vLLM and VLM are taken because it would have been nice to recycle the VLSI solution to describing sizes - get to very large language models and leave it at that.
a full duct spinning at 10k rpm seems like it would massively increase stress on the blades
