- billconan 11y agoI thought this was a new compiler just been released, it turned out it's been around for a while. How come I have never heard of it!
- eggy 11y agoI caught that too, and I was surprised, but like all closed research, it was there. I am guessing it will help to reinvigorate some uses for older Intel chips, and certainly newer ones. All good for Intel, and those who need the speedup.
- eggy 11y agoHow many cores and SIMD lanes? What type of ANN did you use if for? Was it hard to implement into your existing code? This is a big deal for me, since I gave up C for Erlang/LFE, and I am working my way through Gene Sher's book 'Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang'. I like the conceptual fit, but I would be more interested in the present to try this on some old C coded NNs.
