[This is ‘unusual’ seismic activity and shaking patterns for this part of the USA, on an ‘unmapped’ fault, and seemingly challenging existing models of earthquake risk in the region; while a 4.8 is not big, it must have been quite a surprise for the people in this heavily populated U.S. Northeast not used to such things (per the paper, the USGS estimated it was felt by some 42 million people.]

Also: the power-link gimmick you get when connecting Infernon to Thrust is super goofy. I love it.

Not a lot I can do with this dude. It's really hard to make him look cool. But with a good angle or two he looks decent! I like that Thrust can use Infernos' missile launcher too!

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 7 - Day 74

Blow At High Dough

Celebrating 35 years of a classic Canadian debut album. ‘Up to Here’ by The Tragically Hip still breathes excitement into a crowd.

I’m pretty sure it’s genuine.

“They shot a movie once in my home town
Every body was in it from miles around
Out at the speedway some kinda Elvis thing
Well I ain't no movie star but I can get behind anything”

Here, a Soyuz rocket takes off in 2023, carrying three of the Expedition 70 crew to the International Space Station. This initial stage of the Soyuz launch vehicle uses four identical rocket boosters lashed around the second stage core. Each of the boosters has a rocket engine with four combustion chambers (and thus four exhaust nozzles) of its own. That creates the fiery flurry of engine plumes seen here. Most of the exhaust plumes are directed downward to provide the thrust needed to lift the rocket, but you can see a few angled slightly to either side to help stabilize the launch vehicle as it rises.

I feel @eniko's words SO‌ MUCH

Yes, this is a reference to our experience with the one single library we have a hard dependency on, #Thrust, which isn'r even a “a random library on GitHub” but an official #NVIDIA thing, or its #AMD's counterpart:

Ooof, trying to build a piece of software that depends on the #Thrust library on a system that has both the #NVIDIA and the #AMD one, and one of them is the default path and the other isn't is *painful*.

I've already talked in the past about our issues with Thrust here https://fediscience.org/@giuseppebilotta/110283708975056091 and here https://fediscience.org/@giuseppebilotta/110708657580022046 and every time these kind of things pop up I think we should give priority to getting rid of this dependency altogether 8-/

The other one was #Thrust producing completely bogus results:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/thrust/issues/1341
Interestingly, in both cases the issue wasn't with Thrust proper, but with complex interactions between our usage of the Thrust API, the compiler and/or the driver and the hardware.
Now, I don't know where the performance issues I'm seeing in #rocThrust are coming from, but I'm sure they'll get fixed soon.

one is a build failure against my GPU (already reported, with a fix ready and pending release), and the other is … slow performance in one of the #Thrust API calls that we use!

Turns out, `sort_by_key`, at least in the way we use it, is somewhere between 25% and 50% slower on my #AMD iGPU when using the latest #rocThrust (from the 5.6.0 software stack) than it is on the *CPU* when using the latest #Thrust with the OpenMP backend!

So, one of the reasons why we could implement the #HIP backend easily in #GPUSPH is that #AMD provides #ROCm drop-in replacement for much of the #NVIDIA #CUDA‌ libraries, including #rocThrust, which (as I mentioned in the other thread) is a fork of #Thrust with a #HIP/‌#ROCm backend.
This is good as it reduces porting effort, *but* it also means you have to trust the quality of the provided implementation.
