When those who are supposedly profiteering the most from #AI #Storage needs are warning about the extreme over-demand for that #bubble, you know shit's going bad.

Happy #Greedflation everyone, enjoy your #AIslop!

The #ComputerFrontiers25, co-organised by our colleagues Josef Weidendorfer and Amir Raoofy, starts today in Cagliari/Sardinia. It's all about new #computer technologies and system architectures.

Josef and Amir will present a tool for the systematic comparison of different #GPU programming models, which was developed at the Technische Universität München and the LRZ. You can read more about it in the slides of this post.

Any #Linux #kernel ,
#graphics or #GPU people out there?

I'm trying to understand the relationship between the #amgdpu driver shipped with the kernel; and the "andgpu-dkms" driver that comes with #ROCm .

Specifically, with a recent enough kernel, do we really need to install the ROCm version of the driver? Does the ROCm version contain stuff the general driver does not? Or is the ROCm stack (esp. libhsa) tightly tied to a very specific version of the driver?

Apple testete MacBook Pro mit M3 Ultra: Details aus internem Leak

Continued thread

An #Nvidia spox said the company was evaluating its "limited" options. "Until we settle on a new product design & receive approval from the #US govt, we are effectively foreclosed from #China's $50 billion #DataCenter market."

China remains a huge #market for Nvidia, accounting for 13% of its sales in the past financial year. It's the 3rd time Nvidia has had to tailor a #GPU for the world's 2nd-largest #economy after restrictions from the US who is keen to stymie Chinese #tech development.

Continued thread

The #GPU or graphics processing unit will be part of #Nvidia's latest generation #Blackwell-architecture #AI processors & is expected to be priced between $6,500 & $8,000, well below the $10,000-$12,000 the #H20 sold for, acc/to 2 of the sources.

The lower price reflects its weaker specifications & simpler manufacturing requirements.

It will be based on Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000D, a server-class graphics processor & will use conventional GDDR7 memory instead of more advanced high bandwidth memory.

Examining #RDNA4's out-of-order memory accesses in detail, and investigating with testing
#RDNA 4's memory subsystem enhancements are exciting and improve performance across a variety of workloads. #AMD specifically calls out benefits in #raytracing. But RDNA 4's scheme for handling memory dependencies isn't fundamentally different from that of #GCN many years ago. RDNA 4’s makes the most significant change to AMD’s #GPU memory subsystem since RDNA launched in 2019.
