What extra coding is required for knl? Could you please describe it for me?
Look at all the comments from people who have some experience with Phi. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12293308 Not a single positive...
How would you program the FPGA? There is a lot of CUDA code out there right now. Phi+FPGA would face this sunk cost mountain and I don't see how...
Does GP102 (the one in consumer titan x) have double precision? How fast is it? 1/2 rate, 1/3 rate, 1/32 rate?
They seem to have a new tessellation path. They seem to have replaced the vertex shader with a compute kernel. And gotten rid of geometry shader...
VR might prove to be the killer app for ray tracing, with foveated rendering and all. May be IMG's ray tracing efforts aren't doomed.
What do you think about getting rid of manual paging management and letting the GPU fetch pages from CPU memory upon a page fault, just like...
That link 404's for me
A remote rig is going to much more expensive vs an enclosure. PSU +cpu+ram+ssd+mobo+...
You make a good point about being CPU limited, especially with a 15W CPU driving a 250W GPU. Let me make two points. a) For me, there is a great...
Better Call Saul. Nice watch
Interesting hack. There is opportunity to ray trace only certain tiles. Practical optimization for reflection.
Hope springs eternal...
And as great as Carmack is, his endorsements mean what? There is no business case for investing in ray tracing apps without consumers owning the...
IMGTEC cannot push ray tracing, no matter how much they want it. They sit too far from devs/users for that. Only a soc owner with a lot of dev...
