Do you know this, or is this a guess? This would be surprising to me. Suppose Amazon acquires an architecture license, designs a custom core for Graviton3, and deploys it in AWS. Could they add custom instructions at will? I would think ARM

Standard architecture licenses require the custom microarchitecture to comply with ARMs architectural specifications, but M1 apparently does not. An architecture license is not usually a free pass to modify the architecture and fragment ARM

Right, none of this matters for companies just using ARM core IP. The broadest and rarest type of ARM license that is publicly documented is an ARM architecture license, which allows the licensee to implement one of the ARM ISAs with their

No, that's not the only thing. Other characteristics of V100 that may be interesting to people buying GPUs for data centers: - higher capacity GPU memory. 1080 has 8 GB, V100 has 16 or 32 GB. - higher bandwidth GPU memory. V100 has HBM

It's not refuted, because Ampere isn't the only competitor. The statement is that with AMD EPYC and Ampere Altra as options, Intel Xeon loses everywhere.

I have checked again. To get analog io, projects can connect to the analog_io pins in the wrapper [1] which connect to the pad through a 150 ohm resistor, and disable the digital GPIO drivers. If that resistor is a problem, user projects ca

Worth noting that COVID-19 probably triggers GBS in some people (like many infections). So maybe the vaccine triggers GBS in rare cases, but the disease appears to also sometimes cause long term problems (neurological and otherwise). 1976 w

That depends if you use the OpenCL SYCL backend or the Level Zero SYCL backend. The latter has only existed for a few months. but yeah, I think the default backend switched to level zero recently, so strikethrough the last sentence of my co

The fact that oneAPI depends on OpenCL on some platforms is mostly an implementation detail, though, and isn't generally visible to applications, which are written in SYCL/DPC++. The current works to implement oneAPI for AMD and N
