Ask HN: Resources for general purpose GPU development on Apple's M* chips?

thinking_banana — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:58:26 +0000

While Apple M* chips seems to have an incredible unified memory access, the available learning resources seem to be quite restricted and often convoluted. Has anyone been able to get past this barrier? I have some familiarity with general purpose software development with CUDA and C++. I want to figure how to work with/ use Apple's developer resources for general purpose programming.

on the note of the essay, it's pretty cool that Paul had its reviewed by Elon too! I hope this continues, instead of the sensationalized head butting.

It's pretty cool that you *actually* built this necessary Developer interface aimed towards accessibility of HPC!

With attention and transformers laying some of ground work for computations in NN land. Is there a possible extension of Numerical Recipes that can bolster AI with the increasing availability of computation power.

Ask HN: What's the relevance of "This is a pleasant pineapple"?

I camera across this interesting and funny video of "Wittgenstein: This is a very pleasant pineapple". Is is just a source of amusement or is there something that it's trying to communicate.

Cheers!

I'm not super familiar with the overall-commodity trading platform. But one of the more empowering businesses in the grains business has been "Bushel" - https://bushelpowered.com Is it possible to have a trading platform focused on "grains business" only ? Or does that deviate from your core value proposition?

I'm curious, where and how is the information stored as part of the service. Would be nice if you can share the deployment strategy that is being used as it suggests the framework for long term support.

Thanks and nice work

I'm just getting to know about vector. I have noticed that most Vector examples and discussions are targeted towards databases or complex multi-tenant applications. And looks really cool!

Has anyone tried Vector in the context of autonomous vehicle, essentially distributed system, where vector would serve the purpose of aggregating the op-logs, system state, input and output of every application at every instance?

yes, it was fully vetted and open design that had a strong acceptance for the vision impaired. The following Design criteria were considered: 1. durability 2. reuse, repairs and maintenance 3. manufacturability 4. adoption and adherence 5. skill level of the target population to use the device 6. price
