This is definitely a cool hack. Now I feel like doing something like this to every clock I encounter.
Time to spy on the spies. Or at least know when they're around.
This is a nice resource trying to document the history of computer hardware. Really cool stuff.
Wondering what's on the mind of people working on an hyperscaler? This podcast and its transcript gives good insights.
Nice little introduction in the fascinating world of very large binaries.
Nice little intro of the various components you need for graphics drivers. It's very much geared toward how it's organised on Linux.
I don't even get why this became a topic of conversation but here we go. At least this thought experiment is a good way to learn about electronics in space.
Clearly AMD is now well above Intel in performance around AVX-512. This is somewhat unexpected.
Early days, we'll need to see the pricing and reviews. I'm obviously excited to see KDE going in even more consumer devices by default. Let's hope it sells even better than the Steam Deck.
Looks heavy on the NVidia specifics but it looks like a very comprehensive view of the important concepts in a GPU.
Maybe we have a path forward for performance stackful coroutine? More pieces need to fall in place but this looks promising.
Interesting to see how it behaves in practice when passing parameters by value. Turns out there are surprising patterns in the data.
Nice explanation of the very early steps leading to the kernel loading.
This is indeed an open question. Looks like it has the potential to lead to interesting boards in any case.
Maybe it's time to stop obsessing about scale and distributed architectures? The hardware has been improved quite a bit at the right places, especially storage.
If you're wondering why the architecture is called "amd64" and why the itanium disappeared... this is why. It was a very good stunt from AMD back then.
Very interesting deep dive pointing to a very flawed firmware.
Interesting point, let's not forget those devices indeed don't give us enough access to run whatever operating system you want on them.
Interesting trend in the CPU space. We're getting more simultaneous instructions with the passing generations.
Long but interesting chapter which shows how GPUs architecture works and the differences with TPUs. This is unsurprisingly written in the context of large models training.
