A blog about compilers, programming and technology. July 30, 2015. I think the best way to answer this question is with a. We don’t know enough about neuroscience to exactly define what a “thought” constitutes. I’ll make some simplifying assumptions to give us some chance to grasp at this problem. Let’s imagine that:. Thoughts are patterns of neural firings in a small cluster of 512 neurons in your brain. Every human being has this same neural cluster. The point is that the estimate of 1.34 10 154 po...

A blog about compilers, programming and technology. Typed Shapes Paper Submitted. June 22, 2015. I haven’t written much about my progress on Higgs. Recently. This is because I’ve been busy writing and submitting conference papers. My ECOOP. Paper about basic block versioning has been accepted. And I just submitted a new paper about typed object shapes to DLS 2015. My thesis advisor has suggested that I construct my thesis. As a series of conference papers. I already have two papers published. Notify me o...

https://pointersgonewild.com/2015/05/25/maybe-we-ought-to-have-numerical-coprocessors
A blog about compilers, programming and technology. Maybe we ought to have Numerical Coprocessors? May 25, 2015. I was recently reading a blog post claiming that matrix multiplication (GEMM). I believe that the Cray 1. From → Assembly. OpenCL is higher level than what I have in mind, which is an instruction set extension designed for parallel calculations, with some hardware-independent features (the hardware adapts the specifics of the computation based on its capabilities). Why not use a GPU? The overh...

Feels like Censorship | Pointers Gone Wild
https://pointersgonewild.com/2015/07/27/feels-like-censorship
A blog about compilers, programming and technology. July 27, 2015. I just got informed that my second paper on basic block versioning, an extension of my previous work. I guess when it comes to computer science conferences, you’re either a zero or a one. There is no middle ground. Your idea is either deserving of publication, or piped into /dev/null. It’s really interesting, it has a lot of potential, but. Why do so many computer science papers come without any source code? Downtown, Montreal, QC, Canada.
