You do cryptographic compute. You're about the only HPC application that benefits from AMD architecture. Most other scientific compute and deep learning applications have horrible performance on AMD compared with NVIDIA (usually for software reasons that are in principle fixable, but it is what it is).

- sklogic 10y agoThere is a lot of applications beyond crypto that depend on an integer performance. Even in graphics, not just scientific/engineering compute.
- magicalist 10y agosure, but if you're not integer performance bound, which most graphics work won't be, it doesn't usually matter.
- sklogic 10y agoYet, a lot of stuff beyond crypto depends solely on an integer performance + memory bandwidth. Graphics included. 2D image processing is better done in integer or a fixed point.

- sklogic 10y agoHPC included. A whole lot of simulations fits well into a fixed point.
