This article reads like an excerpt from a Vernor Vinge novel, in particular `Rainbows End`. Amazing.

There is an excellent slide deck by Kayvon Fatahalian [0] that I consider to be the best high-level introduction into the topic (especially if you have a deeper understanding of how a CPU works). But I agree, more detailed insights would be

Great article the gist I get from it is: running an experiment in computer science is easy (just ./bench), running an experiment in computer science in a correct way is hard. I agree with this assessment. This plotty tool [0] seems int

Their next generation should include a SoC with a GPU. GPUs make these little processors even more interesting.

Food production has become cheap and efficient. So efficient in fact, that it has apparently no significant economic impact if "as much as 40 percent of America's food supply ends up in a dumpster". Otherwise, the market woul

Is it just me or is this a 180 degree turn around for Deutsche Telekom? After the NSA scandal they planned to create an "All-German Internet" [0] (a strange plan to begin with) but now they seem to be saying: we don't care, l

Templates are an essential tool to write type-independent algorithms. They enable meta-programming, an invaluable tool to provide flexible yet efficient active libraries to users. They allow automated kernel-space exploration. So templates

I guess "language support" was referring to the restrictions within the kernel language. And CUDA is better there - they support templates, you can typecheck a CUDA kernel call. With OpenCL you have to jump through hoops to get th

I disagree. "The Metal framework supports GPU-accelerated advanced 3D graphics rendering and data-parallel computation workloads".

This seems to be Apple's answer to Google's RenderScript. It is too bad big companies (Google, Apple) are developing their own GPU software stack instead of building upon and furthering existing frameworks such as OpenCL. OpenCL d

This is really nice. My note-taking+journal+reference management system recently converged on a vim+nerdtree+mardkwon+git+ssh+pandoc setup. I think NoTex does all that in one suite. I like it!

There are rumours that Nvidia will sooner rather than later support OpenCL 1.2 [0] - apparently CUDA 6 contains a stub library that has OpenCL 1.2 symbols and more. [0] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=

Some commenters seem to be offended by the way Bartosz presents his insights. Maybe some background is necessary. Bartosz has been pushing the C++ community for some time now to think more functional and consider the excellent properties of

You're right, I completely misunderstood the purpose of Halide. I read up on it and I see now that they simplify how developers can do the copious implementation by hand. The schedule must be specified by the developer, the compiler do

Since this is a language and a compiler, my guess would be the answer to your question is: the compiler will optimize for the underlying platform. The whole point of Halide is stated in their abstract: "... make it easier to write high

I wonder if this good be a Getting things Done tool. You'd probably need multiple of those trees and a way to put simple, wiki-like multiline articles (maybe markdown syntax?). I'd use something like that!

This seems to be a great idea. I really like everything about it, I would love to use it (even though I don't own smartphone). Too bad Apple did reject it. One sentence that made me quite happy in this article is: "Hueman is free

I'm not overly familiar with OpenCL on the CPU myself, I only know it works. But people are doing this [0,1]. Whether or no it uses SSE/multiple cores depends on the specific OpenCL backend that is used. But it should use both mul
