DYK @unipb researchers reached the computing milestone of one quintillion operations per second (exaops) when they used @NERSC's Perlmutter #HPC to simulate the COVID-19 spike protein using a novel mixed-precision method? More: bit.ly/3TRUZtk #ExascaleDay @BerkeleyLab

I will take his advice to heart and accept more interesting papers. If you do research in CS, I highly recommend to read his article. 2/2

@LeeEdwardE published a great article on the destructive rejection culture at CS conferences: sigbed.org/2022/08/22/the-to… His point is very valid. The primacy of novelty over interestingness has promoted countless articles that are boring or inconsequential. 1/2

This is very exciting! Bringing us one step closer to reconfigurable fabrics in general-purpose CPUs. And mixed-precision data paths can have much broader applications in scientific computing than AI inference.
AMD plans to integrate the leadership Xilinx AI Engine across @AMDRyzen, AMD #EPYC and Xilinx Versal products for small and mid-size AI models.

Insightful observation.
Moreover, compute bound codes are easily encapsulated into a library (eg LAPACK) due to narrow data interface, but bandwidth bound & latency bound codes are difficult. That is why even to this day many latter codes have not been ported into GPUs which should be rather standard.
