If you look at what AVX512 is often used (as the article mentions), its less of math and more of just speeding up processing of deserializers and various other things that can do bunch of operation on few bytes at a time.
Which does look like hilarious waste of silicon, it could cut all of the float/division transistors off and still be plenty useful
- CamperBob2 4y agoExactly. It's good at providing speed improvements which will never be noticed in the real world.
- janwas 4y agoThat's a bold claim which requires extraordinary evidence. Sufficient counterexamples, most already mentioned in this discussion: databases, NN-512, TLS(AES), JPEG XL decoding (1.5x speedup), ...
