Getting 'low level' with Nvidia and AMD GPUs

NVIDIA_GeForce_8800GTX_G80___DSC01200 via Fritzchens Fritz https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=65926359 The complexity of modern GPUs needn’t obscure the essence of how these machines work. If we are to make the most of the advanced technology in these GPUs then we need a little less mystique. I think this is one of the most exciting times in computer architecture for many years. In CPUs we have x86, Arm and RISC-V, three increasingly well-supported application architectures. And GPU architectures are, of course, becoming much more important. GPUs are obviously a critical…
