What about Arcturus? Wasn't that supposed to be a compute focused offering which could be used for this purpose?...

[ms178]

What about a vendor-neutral driver for both, CPPC and undervolting? At least there is a use-case for undervolting in laptops but also for getting more...

From the mailing list post: "Additionally, BOLT can add new code to a linked ELF binary. We have recently used that capability to allocate frequently-executed...

Some new Kernel testing with 5.9 with different schedulers would be cool. From my own testing last weekend (only tested with the in-game benchmark of...

[Deleted the first sentence because I was wrong about Zen 1's AVX2 implementation]. If they implemented AVX-512 like that, it wouldn't be that beneficial...

[ms178]

AVX-512 is supposed to come with Zen 4, hopefully with a better implementation than Intel's.

I hope Roman's work will be available just as easy as the various kwin low-latency repos for several distributions. That would be an easy way to integrate...

Nice to see that they optimize their stack, even if it is fixing oversights which could have been caught before.

[ms178]

Is pushing ROCm understandable in your eyes? Maybe over time they will be back in the Khronos camp embracing SYCL 2020 - if they acquire Xilinx, I could...

[ms178]

We might even see a resurgance of their Ambidextrous computing initiative. It was years too early but now it would make sense to develop such a platform...

[ms178]

I agree with that part under the assumption that they get cheaper in the coming months, we are still not at Zen 1, Zen + pricing levels for these either....

[ms178]

Xilinx and AMD would suit together quite well, for better FPGA integration on the CPU this aquisition screems to happen sooner rather than later - just...

[ms178]

It is insane that Intel even does such a backport for a 2021 product, I very much doubt the power consumption and efficency levels will be competetive...

[ms178]

I've been burned with going the 2700 + X370 route for the PC of my father, hence no Zen 3 upgrade for him (if AMD / ASUS would provide such BIOS support...

[ms178]

You couldn't wait until the new generation of both companies is on the market? But I know that feeling, I was desperate enough to build two weeks before...

[ms178]

As they do have insights into both ecosystems, what does their decision to aquire ARM tell us about RISC-V? I can only speculate that they came to the...

[ms178]

It would be disappointing if they burried such plans if they had existed at some point in the past. But on the other hand it seems to be ineviteable after...

While I don't have a use-case for these mini-PC's, let's wait for Michael's review before drawing any conclusions.

[ms178]

I wonder if these results do spur some discussions if ACO is also a better foundation for other compute workloads than LLVM. If that is deemed to be viable...

[ms178]

Thanks a lot for the provided details. As AMD is not officially vocal about backing SYCL (at least in public, maybe they do engage actively inside Khronos),...
