- fidotron 1y agoYep, or the old GreenArrays GA144 or even maybe XMOS with more compiler magic. One of the big questions here is how quickly it can switch between graphs, or if that will be like a context switch from hell. In an embedded context that's likely to become a headache way too fast, so the idea of a magic compiler fixing it so you don't have to know what it's doing sounds like a fantasy honestly.

- icodestuff 1y agoYep, that’s definitely the question. The article says that there are caches of recently used graphs for use in large loops. Presumably those are pretty fast to swap, but I have to imagine programming a whole new graph in isn’t fast. But maybe the E2 or E3 will have the ability to reprogram partial graphs with good AOT dataflow analysis.
