Modern CPUs strongly favor lower latency of operations with clock cycles in the nanoseconds and we have built general purpose software architectures that can exploit these low latencies very well. NVIDIAs CUDA SDK provides a higher level interface with extensions in the C language that supports both multi-threading and data parallelism.

Briefly, what is the difference among: (a) undefined behavior Undefined behavior is what happens when your program tries to do something whose meaning is not defined at all in the C++ standard language or library (illegal code and/or data). This is an example of “defense in depth,” and can be a useful technique for writing robust software.

This ruling in itself raises many questions: how much creativity is needed, and is that the same kind of creativity that an artist exercises with a paintbrush? If a human writes software to generate prompts that in turn generate an image, is that copyrightable? But even these two cases aren’t as different as they first appear.

So a whole Babel of computer languages has been created for programmers: FORTRAN, BASIC, COBOL, LISP, Pascal, C, PROLOG, FORTH. You talk to the computer in one of these languages, and a piece of software called a compiler converts it into machine language. But you never can tell exactly what the compiler is doing. You may be wondering.

Software ain’t cheap to buy, implement and live with. A value-generative investment is an exercise in deploying risk capital through IT in the pursuit of extraordinary benefit that yields competitive advantage. But many a C-level exec has been fired for cost overruns on utility investments.

Removing unnecessary layers of software and designing with an eye towards the future has the potential to enable vast improvements in programmability, data sharing, and security – but this will only be possible if our design decisions permeate all levels of the software stack. Cross-object pointers make this easy and natural.

A leaned-out IT organization capitalizing a significant proportion of its discretionary spend is highly susceptible to a perfect storm of (a) SG&A contraction, (b) IT project write-off, and (c) suspended IT investments. Capitalizing development of IT assets is an exercise in funding salaries and contractor costs out of CapEx budgets.

The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. DGEMM implementations also typically require software prefetches to be interspersed with the computation to minimize memory stalls when moving from one “block” of the computation to the next.

There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. This is an uninspiring fraction of peak performance that would normally suggest significant inefficiencies in either the hardware or software.
