skill issue i’m afraid, when you cycle a lot a 15min bike ride is like a 3min walk, and most of the time if the temp is high you’ll sweat regardless in that case, get an electric bike :)

why though? except for apple, most vendors still actively support it and newer versions of OpenCL are released…

i really like the website and application design, bc so many oss projects often completely falter w/ visual design, and while this is a superficial thing, beautiful design makes me want to interact w/ a project more :) also, i&#x2

wait, why is embedding the graph into the file bad? it enables really clean separation of the core autodiff library and whatever backend you want to use to accelerate the graph computations, which can simply read the file and be completely

wait, are you suggesting apple has some hardware level GEMM instructions that are undocumented or smth? also, what do you mean by system-provided BLAS? their accelerate framework?

yeah, that's probably it i'm using an m1 laptop, so my sgemm implementation relies on arm neon vector extension, and i saw literally no performance improvements when i added prefetching, which could either be a result of their spe

interesting write-up even outside of the risc-v context, bc most of the optimisations are the same for different platforms one interesting difference is that memory prefetching/preloading has such a huge difference, whereas on arm&#x2F

i'm not saying that manually writing simd assembly or intrinsics is useless, it's very often necessary, i'm just disagreeing w/ the statement > Unfortunately, compilers are notoriously bad at autovectorization and wit

despite what the article claims, clang and gcc are acc very good at vectorising code, and intel, arm, etc have entire teams dedicated to improving vectorisation in modern compilers

by "numerical" i meant "operating on numbers as opposed to symbolic values", not "using the method of finite differences", apologies for the confusion

chain rule is defined for partial derivatives, so it's still technically just chain rule
134.
by taminka 3y ago
everyone studies chain rule in school, so it's definitely more clear, especially if you look at the amount of unnecessary complexity and convolutedness in many autodiff explanations (an substantial amount for such a simple subject)
135.
by taminka 3y ago
i wish people would just call autodiff (or at least describe it) as numerical chain rule, because that’s quite literally all it is (plus a few tricks for not explicitly computing the jacobian for certain operations), it’s a lot more clear t
