Hi,

Come on Horsy Boy, you can do better. I
no where wrote something about curve
fitting and/or increasing the precision of

float point numbers:

11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop
https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget

What makes you think LIPS measures precision?
You should know better as a 50% Prologer.

I explictily wrote here what the goal is:

"shave off some of the TOPS to do Prolog inferencing"

What are TOPS? Its a metric for GPUs:

TOPS stands for “Trillions of Operations Per Second.”
https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/glossary/tops-in-computing/

See for yourself what is behind my post:

11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop
At the end of 2025 we acquired a couple of AI Laptops , that were still 
cheap, since RAM prices had not yet rocketed. The intend was to tap into 
the Copilot+ certified hardware, and shave off some of the TOPS to do 
Prolog inferencing. Amazingly our π-WAM can churn 11.4 GIGA LIPS.

GPUs have evolved form lock-step to independent thread scheduling. This 
made it possible to port the Hack VM variant, that forms the basis for 
our π-WAM, to WebGPU computer shaders. Using NUM_SHADERS = 4096 we could 
produce 11.4 Giga Lips on a Ryzen AI 7 350 w/ Radeon 860M.

So just get lost with your crazy irrelevant rant.
When I get more LIPS, things run faster, and
I remove digits from the time dimension.

Got it. Or are you too stupid?

Bye

#15767 — In Budget Laptops the TOPS come with low energy footprint (Re: π-WAM is not adding decimals, it is removing decimals)

SubjectIn Budget Laptops the TOPS come with low energy footprint (Re: π-WAM is not adding decimals, it is removing decimals)

In reply to#15766
Hi,

Because of the mobile GPU design, the TOPS,
aka “Trillions of Operations Per Second.”
come with not extremly high power consumption.

Especially the presence of vector and matrix
operations can lower the energy consumption,
since they can avoid redundant memory access.

Its quite a difference between discrete graphic
cards and accelerator iGPUs that are directly
on the silicon chip, and have mobile design.

So basically with newer AI Laptops you get more
performence units for less energy units.

Have Fun!

Hi,

Slowly I start understanding numbnuts like
Rossy Boy who don't understand tech, although
they are from UK and not from a 3rd world

country, and also I start understanding morons
like Micro Penis, who are behind a curtain,
and cannot access a lot of tech.

The same holds for SWI Prologs newest campaign
that probably adresses some poor indians that
have neither 5G nor Macs:

Woa! Real time download of Scala, Closure,

Hi,

Rossy Boy is neither Einstein nor Zweistein.
He is not Einstein since Einstein is already dead:

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein

He is also not Zweistein, since he doesn't
understand concepts such as:

- NVIDIA Volta ff. architecture

Also his hands are small, and his breath stinks,
and he lives in the basement of his mother.

Hi,

Hurry Rossy Boy, the blue bus is waiting.
There is a quite a hyperbole from here:

Tesla S1070 in 2008
700 Watts , 1 Terra Flop
SOLVE TOMORROW’S PROBLEMS TODAY
https://www.azken.com/download/Tesla_DS_S1070_EU.pdf

To here:

Blackwell GPU in 2026
575 Watts, 104.8 Terra Flops ( RTX 5090 )
 From Volta To Blackwell
https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/nvidia-tensor-core-evolution-from-volta-to-blackwell

But somehow the S1070 had already Massively-
Parallel, Many-Core Architecture, and forms
of MIMD, since it had 960 / 240 = 4 cores.

960 scalar processor cores (240 per GPU).
But possibly more resticted inside work
groups, than later NVIDIA Volta ff

architecture with independent thread state.

Bye

Disclaimer: The above is only a very rough
RTX 5090 spec. Its doesn't say what value
format and what vector/matrics ops were

used. Also energy consumption may vary.

Hi,

So what does NUM_SHADERS = 4096 shaders mean here?

11.4 Giga Lips with a Budget Laptop
https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget

Its only the number of logical threads.

CUDA™ TEChNOLOGY UNLOCkS ThE POWER OF TESLA MANY-CORE PROCESSORS
The CUDA C compiler simplifies  many-core programming
by enabling code development in a high-level language
and optimizing code to run on systems without knowledge of
how many cores are in the hardware.

CUDA applications automatically take advantage of more
cores or fewer cores in a system, so they can scale from
entry-level notebook GPUs to high end GPUs in technical
workstations  and further into racks of GPUs in data
centers. This allows developers to

“code once” and deploy on a range of systems, as well as
scale forward in time as future GPUs deliver more
performance per watt and more cores per processor. The benefit
for software users is the opportunity to boost computing
performance simply by adding GPUs or using their

existing GPUs in new ways.

Hi,

Because of this parallelism you anyway
need to forget about any arithmetization
of product FSA (finite-state automata).

Just forget it. What modern GPU provide
is a kind of hirarchical viewpoint. You
can have barriers in groups etc..

So you can exercise control over your
mongolian horde of logical threads in
a kind of multilevel schema.

Have Fun!

Hi,

Rossy Boys tears could cool a data center,
he thinks there exists no literature about
serial algorithms of parallel stuff, and

he also thinks normal forms lead to optimizing
something. LoL, what a utter bullshit. I did
alreay a serial implementation of a parallel

simulation of my pi-WAM. Just lookup the literature
about pi-calulus. I published it a few days ago,
its part of 2.2.4 released already:

Parallel π-WAM: An Interleaved Synchronous Emulator
https://medium.com/2989/0196089e143a

Whats your point, Rossy Boy? Except you post pretend
nonsense not knowing what you are doing?

Hi,

I don't use Rust, you are crazy. First of
all the parallel simulator is 100% written
in Prolog, should also run in ISO Prolog,

enhanced by a library(lists). Second I only
mentioned that WebGPU / WGSL, the language
there has a Rust inspired language.

Its not Rust. Whats wrong with you? Why do
you adress your weariness of life to me.
I am neither thief, nor can I help you

with your frustration, and histeric outbursts.
Maybe just be a man and jump off a bridge, idiot.
Or tame your frustration, usenet is not for

you alone, your stupid asshole.

Hi,

The conspiracy theory of a stealing of Torso VDBE,
by Rossy Boy, is probably a result of complete
ignorance of the Hack ecosystem.

Hack is a very popular computer science project,
with a couple of subprojects in hardware and
software. It goes also by the name Nand to Tetris,

and is programming language agnositic. You can do
Hack experiments in any programming language, be
it BASIC, ADA or Rust. Nobody cares.

The gist are projects like here, first to
educate yourself about Hack:

https://www.nand2tetris.org/course

And then to use Hack in different contexts:

https://www.nand2tetris.org/copy-of-talks

For didactic purposes, I used Hack for my WebGPU
experiment. I didn't even take a look at Torso
VDBE, why should I? Hack is nicely documented,

has even a book, and fusing the two 16-bit
instruction types A and D, into a single 32-bit
instruction stream, is nowhere patented.

Bye

Hi,

This seems to be a funny Q16.16 experiment.
It shows that an integerish Hack can do
floatish stuff, by using binary fixpoint:

Raytracing on the Hack computer
2021/06/13 - im alex
https://blog.alexqua.ch/posts/from-nand-to-raytracer/

That it uses Rust is arbitrary. Feel free
to do it in C, C++, FORTRAN or Java. I guess
these languages all have basic arithmethic,

right? Maybe not a long jump always?

#15796 — Summer Challenge: libSQL = Prolog+Modes [VDBE versus π-WAM] (Was: A funny Q16.16 experiment with Hack)

In reply to#15793
Hi,

Woa! Thats a very sad and non fitting statement:

"This was before I was indoctrinated into
ISO Prolog and the ways of monotonic logic
programming. Shen Prolog has many semantic
and syntactic limitations that Scryer Prolog
does not. Also, I now know constraints are a
much better, purer solution to the problems
mode declarations were meant to address"
https://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog/issues/3410#issuecomment-5030471183

Ok, here is the summer challenge, thats the easy one:

     SQL --> Prolog --> WAN

Here come two variations, slightly mindboggling maybe?

     SQL --> AST --> VDBE

     SQL --> Prolog+Modes --> π-WAM

Bye

BTW: What is VDBE? Some abstract machine, that can
be used to run SQL, following some ideas here:

Database Co-Design With Asynchronous I/O
https://penberg.org/papers/penberg-edgesys24.pdf

Or to run Doom:

Doom on the Turso VDBE
https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso-vdbe-doom-example

What if we would run Doom with π-WAM, on a GPU,
using multiple shaders. We could add some ray tracing.

In reply to#15792
Hi,

 > Just downloading some other person's code

I didn't do that, I wrote Hack VM for pi-WAM
from scratch, over the last 4 weeks. I came
back from holidays on end of June 2026, and now

we have end of July 2026. But its only possible
because the instruction set is very smal, like
ca. 8 functions and ca. 8 modes and ca. 8 conditions,

so its ca. 8 x 8 x 8 = 512 opcodes, each has an
A parameter and a D parameter simultaneously.
It has currently the following CPU backends:

  - Now supports interleaved synchronous emulation.
  - Now supports warp parallelism via Java platform threads.
  - Now supports warp parallelism via Python system threads.
  - Now supports warp parallelism via JavaScript worker threads.
  - Note: For Python free threads are not yet fully tested.
  - Note: For JavaScript web workers are not yet fully tested.

https://www.dogelog.ch/typtab/doclet/book/14_install/05_notes22/110_224.html

But frankly I came to encounter Hack not from
the usual university curriculum web resources,
but indirectly through a post about a Prolog

emulation of Hack, using constrained horn clauses (CHC):

Verifying Nand2Tetris Assembly
https://www.philipzucker.com/nand2tetris-chc/

The binary encoding is currently that the functions,
modes and conditions eat up a nibble (4-bit), in
total 12-bit, which I use then 10-bit for A parameter

and 10-bit for D parameter. I used AI freemium, Codex
by ChatGPT from within IntelliJ to do some fragment
code translations automatically from Java to JavaScript

or from JavaScript to Python.

Have Fun!

Bye

In reply to#15797
Hi,

The op-codes are all uniform, have the
same sub fields. Already Z-80 CPU differs here.
Another difference to a Z-80 CPU is that

their instruction stream was 8-bit, instructions
can 1, 2, 3 or 4 byte long. On the other
hand in my Hack VM all instructions are

one 32-bit chunk. The porting of a first
prototype that I already had, to WebGPU / WGSL
only took like 1-2 hours. The execution

of Hack VM is very simple, version 1.0,
for a single shader:

fn run() {
     var pc : i32 = 0;
     var accu : i32 = 0;
     while (pc < i32(arrayLength(&code))) {
         var instr : i32 = code[pc];
         pc += 1;
         var value : i32 = run_get(instr);
         accu = run_fun(instr, accu, value);
         run_set(instr, accu);
         pc += run_jump(instr, accu);
     }
}

https://github.com/Jean-Luc-Picard-2021/gigabudget/blob/b8946e891be774c40522267ab17062d32b023e7a/course/example63/boot.mjs#L176-L187

I first though this will be perfect for
SIMD. Until I learnt that modern GPUs have
anyway MIMD. Hell Yeah, thats much better!

Hi,

There is a typo here:

Subject: I wrote Hack VM for π-WAM from scratch
[4 Months total JavaScript, Python and Java]

It should say:

In reply to#15797
Hi,

There is Prolog compiler which spits out Hack.
 From there on your are free to develop
and/or use any Hack realization that goes

from abstract to concrete. You could
replace the CPU backends that realize
a Hack VM by MIPS. Shouldn't be difficult.

Basically I refused to think in Huffman
Coding (*) while designing Hack VM. On the
other hand the MIPS architecture looks

like a big Huffman mess. Already its
initial design has 3 instructions types:

Type format (bits)
R opcode(6) rs(5) rt(5) rd(5) shamt(5) funct(6)
I opcode(6) rs(5) rt(5) imme(16)
J opcode(6) addr(26)

While my Hack has only 1 instruction
type, when binary encoded for Hack VM,
the currently used design looks as follows:

Type format (bits)
AD opcode(4) mode(4) cond(4) imme(10) addr(10)

But since its an abstract machine, nothing
prevents you from translating Hack code
into MIPS before executing it.

In has far you have to distinguish Hack,
which is specified in Prolog. And Hack VM
which is a virtual machine, with the above

instruction packing. And which has currently
a JavaScript runtime, a Python runtime
and a Java runtime.

Bye

Hi,

Another choice for naming Hack, would be
to call it an intermediate format. But
this is typically used here:

The intermediate representation, or
IR for short, is an in-memory data
structure that represents executable code.
https://www.llvmpy.org/llvmpy-doc/dev/doc/llvm_concepts.html#ssa-form-and-phi-nodes

So I still like the term abstract machine,
as already used in the past by  David H. D. Warren
for the famous, and in my opinion infamous:

Warren Abstract Machine 1983
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Abstract_Machine

Maybe you can take the term abstract machine
as a hint that it is more lower level, and
more imperative. Not something highlevel, that

is easily malleable. But abstract also captures
the notion that there is still a level further
down, making it concrete. And you find

many Prolog systems that did just that, they
compile WAM into a further instruction stream,
like x86 or whatever, for binary compiled code,

that is not interpreted WAM.

Bye
