WASM performance just isn't there. At scale, evaluating the costs just made me shudder. For server scenarios, no, this just isn't it. The JVM does a lot of very useful things that WA does not try to handle. Java is not going anywh

Vulkan is not a suitable API for even implementing Khronos's very own SYCL on top of. SYCL requires shared virtual memory capabilities that Vulkan just doesn't have.

See ROCm HIP which is basically just that. AMD chose to rename all the function prefixes but it's what you are asking for here. AMD fucked up by not having a stable IR between GPU generations and not having a public Windows SDK. But th

The whole library ecosystem, for example (but far from only) if you want a BLAS. OpenCL only provides much lower level infrastructure bricks. With CUDA having unmatched performance compared to alternatives too.

Thankfully for a good chunk of number crunching that works fine. But the other side of the coin is notably AI workloads. There's no OpenCL or Vulkan standard for exposing matrix units, only vendor specific ones. For OpenCL: cl_qcom_ml_

The tradeoff was not that. The OpenCL SW ecosystem was just not there at all. It's not a coincidence that nobody has a good AI training on OpenCL stack even today. The cross-vendor infrastructure for that doesn't exist. And NV was

Yes CUDA does, since Kepler, under the CUDA Unified Memory naming. It's not a niche feature at all, but one that is essential to lower the barrier for developer adoption.

It's because NVIDIA actually cared and AMD does not where it matters (customer HW). Openness is totally secondary to functional. You know, the same kind of reasons as of why Linux on the desktop is not a mass market thing compared to W

It's still a heavy work in progress. Not usable for SYCL programs as SVM isn't implemented yet.

AMD doesn't actually care. For them, GPGPU is a pro level feature not worth supporting on most customer GPUs. They are doing much more feature segmentation than NVIDIA ever did.

by my123 4y ago
Vulkan has a very atrocious developer experience by GPGPU standards. The chance of it winning over CUDA is at zero. And that's _before_ considering its API gaps compared to modern OpenCL. (Yes, even OpenCL is a much better compute API

The upgrade path in this scenario is clicking the Upgrade option when having the phone plugged in to iTunes or Finder. This however needs a bigger computer to do it.

Apple was right in restricting web notifications in the first place. The sad story is that they're abused way too much. :/ Now about how to fix that is an interesting question...

The arm spec allows to have machines that implement any of 4KB, 16KB, or 64KB granules or any combination thereof. Apple shipped plenty of phone SoCs that didn’t support 4KB pages for the CPU (A9->A13).

Those machines have a boot ROM recovery mode. If you wipe off those essential partitions then it becomes visible as a USB device when attached to a Mac or PC. On Linux, you can then use idevicerestore to recover. Or you can use Configurator

macOS Recovery will always be required. The boot firmware on those machines doesn’t have any kind of user interface. When you long click on the power button, you are reaching macOS Recovery, which has a Boot Picker app running. tldr: cons

Intel and other players offer in-line ECC which interleaves the ECC data with regular data, as such working on regular DRAM configs. However: in-band ECC is only enabled for Alder Lake on embedded and chromeOS systems. Not available in the

Not necessarily. A big chunk of B2B doesn’t want this either. (Not the metering part especially)
