Air you breathe out is around 40 thousand ppm (and higher during exertion), and the air in the lungs isn't completely replaced every breath - I doubt there's much measurable difference at the actual alveoli at the levels we'

At any time a coroutine switch could happen, doesn't the compiler statically know how many registers would be allocated by this anyway? Register numbers aren't dynamically indexed, they're baked into the instruction stream,

FYI AMD also has similar "accelerators", with the 9070 having separate ALU paths for wmma ("tensor") operations much like Nvidia's model - older RDNA2/3 architectures had accelerated instructions but used the &

No, but it's not obviously clear that other sized kernels will hit the same bottlenecks seen in the post. It's not really shown one way or the other - is it that the rocm kernels are just inefficient, or just the author identified

Many of the optimizations here rely heavily on the size of matrix and it's relationship to hardware specific details, like LDS size, how they're banked and register count. It's probably not surprising that you can grind a d

We used them at a student union for a similar reason - lots of students thinking they're a rock star swinging mics around and stuff meant we ended up with a lot of damage. Though IMHO the monster cables didn't actually take the

But the lens and camera assembly isn't a vacuum, if there's radon in the air around the camera I'd expect radon to be inside the camera too, right by the CCD.

[0] seems to imply the vast majority of radiation the average person experiences is gases, like Radon and Thoron decay (itself just an isotope of Radon), which would likely be as prevalent inside the fridge (and so inside the camera frame

Radioactive isotopes are everywhere , in the air, in the plastic box you put the camera in, in the camera frame itself.

It has to interact , otherwise it wouldn't be visible at all, as it's the interactions that the CCD detects. And as muons don't interact often, the can pass through a lot of matter without anything noticing - that's t

I'd think it's pretty much any high-energy ionizing radiation that causes those streaks - probably very few of which are muons. There are "local" sources of ionizing radiation pretty much everywhere. And if [0] is corr

They might be, depending on architecture - the ROPs are responsible for taking the output from the shader core and writing it back to memory, so can be used in compute shaders even if all the fancier "Raster Operation" modes are

I sometimes do something similar, as it gives a chance for the CI to run more comprehensive tests on other platforms that's hooked up to the PR flow, and "reviewing" your own code can be pretty helpful.

The calculations within each unit may be, true, but routing and data transfer is probably the biggest limiting factor on a modern chip. It should be clear that placing 16x units of non-trivial size means that the average will likely be furt

We did something slightly similar - for the very few isolated things it makes sense (e.g. image up/download and conversions in the gpu driver that weren't supported/large enough to be worth firing off a gpu job to complete),

Yes, many optimizations can be done at the vendor-neutral IR level, but my point is that on GPUs they tend to be some of the computationally less expensive ones - the vast majority of the compilers time (in my experience) was in levels lowe
