Amadahl’s law dictates it’s approximately always better (as in, more efficient computationally) to have one super fast thing than many slower things doing the same job in parallel.
- moralestapia 2mo agoSuch a deep and smart insight. But why is that important if they're measuring time?
- moralestapia 2mo agoAnd just like that, GP disappears forever ...
- xyzsparetimexyz 2mo agoYes. but for embarrassingly parallel tasks it barely matters.
- modeless 2mo agoThe task the majority of people here care about (and which makes up a huge part of AI lab revenue these days) is collaborative coding with a single human which is not embarrassingly parallel.
- xyzsparetimexyz 2mo agoI am aware. I was talking about HLE. Talking about how fast you can run through HLE in a serial manner is like talking about how how fast your non-simd single threaded cpu ray tracer is. Its simply not how any sensible person would tackle this problem.
