Awesome, just wanted to check. I'd very much enjoy reading a blog post about your findings, if you are interested in writing one. Thanks for sharing, modern CPUs really are quite incredible.

> Most people in the world can't afford 600$ Nvidia GPUs. Ok? I'm not what your point is here - most people can't afford a $600 amd gpu either. If you can't get a $600 gpu, buy a cheaper gpu - gtx 1060 is $250 or gtx

Same way code that runs on x86_64 is open, I suppose. neither the isa nor implementation is open, and yet the code is, right?

Did you initialize table_ints by writing to every page before running the test? If you didn't, this could instead be measuring accesses to the zero page.

No, I don't think it would. I don't imply any locality restrictions on the dynamics - they can be arbitrarily strange.

I don't understand stocks anymore either, but I own them anyway. It seems like the original idea of "share in the profits" (i.e. dividends) has been entirely replaced with "guess which companies will have the most hype i

Bohm's pilot wave theory is interesting to me not because it is so intuitive or tasteful or something, but because it works without sacrificing realism, and thus demonstrates that the Cophenhagen interpretation (neither local nor real)

No, he wants to separate virtual address space allocation from physical memory backing allocation, with both still happening manually. It's a very reasonable request, and the benefit is that you can be guaranteed to have the address s

Given that AMDs approach has shifted to implementing cuda (under the name "hip") and providing tools to automatically find/replace cuda to hip, I don't think the cuda api is going anywhere.

Props to this guy. I just took a look at the patent (highly recommended), and it's fairly ridiculous. It's a 101 design to control a diode with a transistor.
