Wait what da-
The fuck.
AMD is the last vendor I expected to go s/w on ALU scoreboarding.
At the time in my region yes, but it's not as if i have a time machine to travel back in time and tell my self to take printscreens and post it here as evidence, so take my word as is, don't to believe it? Fine by me, don't. Im not here to try to drag this into useless prolongued arguments with examples of both cases to show both sides were true on some different corner to the planet at some point in time.Were the Radeon 5000 series selling for well above MSRP?
COMPUTE UNIT SORTING FOR REDUCED DIVERGENCE - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (freepatentsonline.com)
This has been floating around for a while. I can't work out from this whether there's any meaningful gain possible in a physical device.
It feels like I've been talking about this for 10 years:
AMD: R7xx Speculation
Conditional Routing was floating around back in 2004. Honestly, I don't feel motivated to compare this document and the Conditional Routing paper. I'll pay more attention when I see it in hardware.
We asked whether AMD would include some form of tensor core or matrix core in the architecture, similar to what both Nvidia and Intel are doing with their GPUs. He responded that the split between RDNA and CDNA means stuffing a bunch of specialized matrix cores into consumer graphics products really isn't necessary for the target market, plus the FP16 support that already exists in previous RDNA architectures should prove sufficient for inference-type workloads. We'll see if that proves correct going forward, but AMD seems content to leave the machine learning to its CDNA chips.
Oh you're getting a whole load of those.On the topic of sorting there was this all the back on page 4 wonder if it is part of the RT improvements rumored
Yea you're not getting MFMA in client ever.The question around dedicated matrix hardware was touched on in the June tomshardware interview.
What does this mean exactly?

They did what NV did in Kepler/Maxwell (dunno what degree yet so can't say exactly) and went from h/w to s/w ALU scoreboarding to save on power/area.What does this mean exactly?
Sorry I was literally killing russians back then.Sigh, we've been talking about the software (compiler) scoreboarding for months now
A lot have flown under the radar, really.Can't believe others have only just noticed.
No they don't. Whether upscaling is used or not the tensor cores also predict how to best fuse together the output of the optical flow generator with the optical flow/motion vectors coming from the application.Wait what, it uses a funny FF optical flow block for interpolation.
What ai.
GEMM cores in DLSS3 does exactly what they did in DLSS2.
You don't go very far with pure brute force RT as the computational and bandwidth costs would be insanely highImproving RT performance is just a question of the number of transistors spend for it. There is no magic here. RT is pure brute force.
I know this is OT but godspeed and good luck to you all.Sorry I was literally killing russians back then.
In a trench.
Thanks.I know this is OT but godspeed and good luck to you all.
2 days? I thought we had to wait until Nov 7th!Still 2 days until announcement.
I wonder If they will announce the Full N31 or a cutdown version first, as they did with RDNA2.
They'll announce both but the availability gonna be shifted.Still 2 days until announcement.

It's 3rd aka this Thursday.2 days? I thought we had to wait until Nov 7th!
2 days? I thought we had to wait until Nov 7th!
maybe some days are bigger than other days?
How much binning can they realistically do with N31 before they get into N32 territory?Still 2 days until announcement.

Pretty sure they announced all Navi 21 GPU's - 6900XT, 6800XT and 6800 - at the same time.Still 2 days until announcement.
