The Andy Warhol Museum is fantastic. I go every time I happen to be in Pittsburg. Besides Wahrols and history of Andy Warhol they usually have a pretty good visiting exhibit. Sadly, I don't travel to Pittsburg as much as I did post col

My junior (at the time) coworker created the 64bit implementations by reading the original papers. But you should be able to find other implementations on github now, since the paper has been out for a while. Our code is pretty tied to soft

We do something similar with compressing integers. Unlike the article we pick from 3 different compression schemes: SIMD FastPFOR, Bitpack (max value) and delta encoding. Which one we pick depends on the distribution of the integers. FastP

This seams to be a moot point... So far most people named in the Panama docs are not US nationals. Most US nationals have lots of options of hiding their taxes inside. Weather it's Delaware corps, or trusts in the Dakotas. There's

What's the probability of being shot in Oakland in a year as a white male? Esp if you don't have any associations with crime yourself. I lived in both good, bad and transitioning neighborhoods and I feel like people over estimate

You can use raft as to synchronizing other data structures. If this a KV store then that's as easy as key level locks / ownership / placement.

I'm talking about time-sharing. It doesn't mater if it's smaller instances sharing a single GPU instance or many instances sharing many GPU instances. Essentially N:M sharing (with some scheduling). Since the GPU client is no

Congrats guys this is a really neat hack, really impressive. Did you guys think about building it further out to provide a GPU load balancer for multiple frontend machines running Cuda / OpenCL?

That's a great but age old question. Who watches the watchers? What we all knew, and what's leaked in the recent years. The answer is nobody really.

You're correct in the way that it's default behavior, but the behavior can be turned off. Also, if you're using cgroups (or anything that leverages that like containers) you can put a limit on the memory resource and then mal

Agreed. It seams to me like the both CPU and FPGA would be both bound by the speed of their memories for the KV store. That's why I'm not sure why it would be beneficial to put it on a FPGA. Skimming their summary, conclusion &amp

Never said it a great experience, just that they used visual programing to express logic flow. And I agree, the "language" forces you to repeat yourself. I believe that over the years there's been attempts at alternatives but

There is one place where visual programming is alive and well and has been for a long time. That's programming PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers). It's easy to forget about PLCs[1], but it's an old and large niche in large

This is interesting but short on details. Is it essentially creating a virtual many core / NUMA machine? If that's so I wonder what the overhead for such things as emulating x86 cache coherency.
