It seems like you are confusing vector algebra with linear algebra. The cross product is not a part of the theory of vector spaces and linear transformations. Geometric algebra is pretty cool, but it is a potential replacement for vector al

RISC-V is an instruction set architecture that is freely available for use. That is, it specifies the instructions and instruction encodings used by a CPU, like x86 and ARM. Unlike x86 and ARM, you don't need to license the ISA to crea

The Friedberg, Insel, Spence book [1] passes your test. Linear transformations first, then matrices as a representation of transformations with respect to a specified basis. Depending on your tastes, you may find it too dry, but imo it is a

> Unlocked FP16 ... outside of the Tesla series Titan V has HMMA, so it most likely also has full hardware FP16. It seems to have a binned V100 chip with 3 functioning HBM2 stacks.

It is strange that you expect to be able to buy the server grade GPUs for GeForce series prices and are outraged when reality doesn't meet your expectations. It strikes me as pretty awesome that the V100 is now available for only $3k

Larger (higher capacity) HBM2 stacks do not yet exist and the manufacturing process is pretty complicated/expensive. It's worth noting that all the stacks end up on the same piece of silicon as the GPU itself. Don't assume t

Could you clarify the "4 orders of magnitude" comment? ~10 atoms is ballpark 2nm. If you are referring to a length dimension with your comment, four orders of magnitude larger would have some dimension on the order of 20um, corres

DMA allocations have no problems with caches, but in some situations you can get a performance boost by marking as write-combined if the CPU only writes to the memory once and then hands it off. This results in less cache being occupied wit

The cycle length is 2^17-1 = 131071. The number of pixels is 320*200 = 64000. Therefore each pixel is hit at least once. The authors likely used 17 bits instead of 16 because then the x and y coordinates can be obtained via masking rather t

Speed of light has units of distance per time. Expansion rate has units of (distance per time) per distance. For more info on why this statement makes little sense, see Sean Carroll's post here: http://www.preposterousunive
