SPIR-V on ROCm: A Portable IR for AMD GPUs:

"ROCm has compiled GPU code ahead of time (AOT), once per target architecture, since its first release. CPU software shifted to runtime just-in-time (JIT) compilation in the 1990s — Java HotSpot, V8, LuaJIT, .NET RyuJIT, PyPy — once the matrix of target × workload × deployment became too large to enumerate at build time. With its adoption of SPIR-V, ROCm now brings the compile-once, specialize-on-device model to AMD GPUs.
This post covers what SPIR-V is, why AMD adopted it, the compilation model and its trade-offs, and a reproducible single-kernel HIP example with measurements on MI350X (CDNA4), spot-checked on RX 9070 XT (RDNA4). A FAQ and status section at the end cover common questions and what is shipping, in flight, and not yet solved.

A follow-up post will discuss a real-world SPIR-V deployment at scale: PyTorch."

Intel debuts new chip for space computing

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://spacenews.com/intel-debuts-new-chip-for-space-computing/

For #intel #processors If the 586 is the #pentium then:

286 Duonium
386 Trium
486 Tetrium
686 Hexium
786 Heptium

And the Pentium Pro is 686, then the proper name of the Pentium 2 is actually the Hexium 2, as it's the second 686 chip!

Pentium 4 was netburst, so it would be the Heptium 1.
