That's not true. Intel GPUs are fast enough to provide plenty of speedup vs. CPU. Just because they're not in the same league as dGPUs doesn't mean...

The answer to CUDNN is MIOpen.

To use it, you need ROCm support. So, we just need...

Wow, "vintage GPUs" almost makes them sound cool.

The obvious solution to this would seem to be to limit how many threads or processes the database could spin up, based on the license used. Perhaps that's...

I think it was a joke not about Ryzen, but about the way everyone seems to attribute advances elsewhere in the industry to the fact that AMD is again...

I was frustrated by seeing all the unnecessary speculation and debate over speculation about the decision. Moreover, nobody seemed to have even bothered...

Is nobody else bothered by the similarity of the software results? Both this & the 40-core test, in fact. It seems unlikely that they're so closely...

My heart goes out to everyone affected, but I'm actually a bit surprised so many were still working on Solaris and SPARC. I haven't used either since...

There was a special version of Descent 1 that supported stereo LCD glasses from Crystal Graphics. I think it might've been the only game I played with...
