Giuseppe BilottaFirst day of the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GPGPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPGPU</a> course at <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/UniCT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UniCT</a>. Class is small, but students seem curious, gave me the opportunity to discuss in more details some things that usually go unmentioned. Hopefully it'll hold.Only negative side, I had to take a longer route home because the park between my house and the university was closed 8-(

🅴🆁🆄🅰 🇷🇺Это же <a href="https://www.bilibili.com/opus/1012175160065654784" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">сколько заморочек</a> на NVidia и Windows'ах чтобы поиграть в Го с нейронкой? (с KataGo, аналог AlphaGo). В таких раскладах системы на ATI/AMD и линуксах выглядят разумным выбором. Раз хочется комп, чтобы играть в Го, то берёшь с такой видяхой и такой ОС, на которых меньше всего суеты с использование GPU, точнее #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=GPGPU" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">GPGPU</a>. Вот по тегам <a href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/channel/erua?f=&tag=igo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">что накопилось</a> про игру в Го с компом — ничего принципиально сложного в настройке. Может кому и смешно, а я помню времена, когда пост-советские люди приобретали себе домой шахматные компьютеры. Чтобы сами играть в шахматы и детей приучать, в домах были что-то вроде  «Электроника ИМ-01». Фигуры переставлять не умел и отображал координаты хода только на табло. Такое приобретение было непростой вещью в те времена и в тех условиях. Современность же изобилует разнообразием интеллектуальных развлечений, которые и не сильно востребованы. Однако, найдутся люди рассматривающие десктоп или ноутбук именно с точки зрения средства для игры в оффлайне, а не только в онлайн. Или для анализа своих и чужих партий опять же через нейронные сети для обучения или отработки навыков игры. #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=AMD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AMD</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=ATI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ATI</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=Nvidia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nvidia</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=KataGo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">KataGo</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=games" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">games</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=gaming" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">gaming</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=%D0%B3%D0%BE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">го</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=igo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">igo</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=baduk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">baduk</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%83%D0%BA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">бадук</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=weiqi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">weiqi</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=%D0%B2%D1%8D%D0%B9%D1%86%D0%B8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">вэйци</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=lang_ru" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lang_ru</a> @<a href="https://3zi.ru/@Russia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Russia</a>

gigapixelSo I found <a href="https://github.com/tracel-ai/cubecl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/tracel-ai/cubecl</a> which allows <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/gpgpu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gpgpu</a> in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rust</a>. Already using it to calculate some determinants for triangulations. Wondering if it can be leveraged to build a numeric <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/pde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pde</a> solver

Giuseppe BilottaIt's out, if anyone is curious <a href="https://doi.org/10.1002/cpe.8313" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1002/cpe.8313</a>This is a “how to” guide. <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GPUSPH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPUSPH</a>, as the name suggests, was designed from the ground up to run on <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPU</a> (w/ <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/CUDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CUDA</a>, for historical reasons). We wrote a CPU version a long time ago for a publication that required a comparison, but it was never maintained. In 2021, I finally took the plunge, and taking inspiration from <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/SYCL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SYCL</a>, adapted the device code in functor form, so that it could be “trivially” compiled for CPU as well.<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/HPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HPC</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GPGPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPGPU</a>

Giuseppe BilottaOne of the reasons why I still haven't done my long-promised mini-thread on <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GPGPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPGPU</a> is that every time I find some time to brainstorm the thing I get indescribably angry at vendors, and I realize that the tone of the thread would really take a bad turn I would rather not have it have. Mind you, I love the field, but I have a lot of pent-up frustration due to how much vendors keep (intentionally or not) making things much harder than they should be.

Jeff MartinNow that our instance has a higher size limit for toots, time for a re-<a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a>. This time with more hashtags!Hi! I'm Jeff. :blobcatwave: I've been a software engineer since around 1999 I guess. I started with <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebDev</a> back in the early days of applets, DHTML, and Flash. I've since moved on to <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/FullStack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FullStack</a> work on just about anything that has a compiler or an interpreter. I've even recently dabbled in <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/PCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PCB</a> design and <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a>.My software specialties are in high performance computing <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/HPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HPC</a>, <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/GPGPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPGPU</a>, and <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/ComputationalChemistry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComputationalChemistry</a>. Although I usually enjoy any programming problem with a good challenge to it. I spent waaay too much time in school and got all the degrees in computer science. I still work in <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> part-time writing research software.My favorite programming languages at the moment are <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> and <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/Kotlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kotlin</a>. Although, I've spent a lot of time writing <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/Javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Javascript</a> lately. With the right tooling it's not completely terrible.More recently, I've been interested in online <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a>, <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/cryptography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cryptography</a>, and <a href="https://gladtech.social/tags/SocialNetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialNetworks</a>.
