Better to be on 5.12 LTS than 5.13 or 5.14....

[carewolf]

I was talking about the AVX version. It only has a moderate decrease of frequency. Also the AVX-512 should have 4 times the bandwidth....

[carewolf]

Ideally twice the number of bits processed per clock cycle....

[carewolf]

That is the problem though, the 256bit versions are not AVX2. The AVX-512 instruction uses EVEX encodings and also natively includes masking using mask...

[carewolf]

Other GPL-driver supported hardware has signed firmware as well. It is usually distributed separately, even though it is required for those drivers to...

[carewolf]

just wish AMD would hurry up and document their new architecture already. Don't they have any technical people with enough influence to advice sales and...

[carewolf]

Yeah, felt more like a Zen 2+ really. Though it makes sense they focused on single threaded performance this generation, they can finally take the last...

[carewolf]

It is already "ported" in that it builds and runs. But it hasn't been cleaned up or any necessary improvements made yet. Same with many of...

Can those be used to also speed up swapoff and recovery from swap usage? Because those are suspiciously slow as well, always felt something was off with...

I don't think the beta schedule is revised, just not updated. The release team doesn't even meet until Tuesday next week to set a target for the beta...

Moving blocks of memory around is old-school 2D acceleration and called a blitter. You wouldn't need special registers for that. You only need new registers...

[carewolf]

Note however, that it only has two operations. TDPBF16PS and TDPB[XX]D, both dot products. You don't do data movement faster by moving it through tiles,...

[carewolf]

Wow, an entire new instruction set and registers, just to do fast dot product multiplications... How.. CISC.

[carewolf]

Might depend on the firm. We don't do that. We just use the corporate VPN on our own machines, and only use a corporate laptop if you claim your home...

[carewolf]

Perhaps people went back to their offices and no longer using their personal machines?...

[carewolf]

As long as it isn't intel Key Logger.

[carewolf]

As I said, those parts are being removed or made into just a syntax wrapper. The parts that remain are significantly different from the standard libr...

[carewolf]

Branched out? It is where it started! It is older than C++98, back then there was no reliable standard library, they were different between every platforms,...

[carewolf]

They are both based on ML languages. It is one of more common baselines for new languages....
