Hi,

Why does this Lama have a red pyjama.
Oh, its a baby Lama. Its still in the cradle
and needs some training:

RedPajama-Data-v2
https://github.com/togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data

But then Andrej Karpathy recently showed
GPT-2 training on rented GPUs for less
than 100 USD in less then 2 hours.

So where do these grown up Lamas go.
Well Georgi Gerganov prefered C++/C
when he shouted Llama Llama Red Pyjama.

But you also find WebLLM, wrapping the
underlying C++/C GPU interface via the
W3C standard WebGPU / WGSL, with JavaScript:

In-Browser LLM Inference Engine
https://webllm.mlc.ai/

My experience with WebLLM 6 months
ago on an iPad Pro 2024, still a little early
stage performance and robustness.

But hey hardware of AI mobile iGPUs is
still evolving, and AI laptop, AI smartphones
and AI tablets, will soon feature Chinese

hardware such some new Kirin AI in 2027.

Hi,

Usual question:

 > Why implement both pre-emptive threading
AND cooperative tasks/engines?

I had implemented the ISO proposal in formerly Jekejeke
Prolog, you find the ISO proposal here:

ISO/IEC DTR 13211–5:2007
Prolog multi-threading support
https://logtalk.org/plstd/threads.pdf

But the ISO proposal doesn't match modern WebGPU APIs,
where your logical threads can live remotely in a dedicated GPU
in the VRAM there, and where you would have launch

parameters that say: Hey please run 4096 compute
shaders for me, that have independet thread state. Using
cooperative multi-tasking as the orchestrator works well.

Bye

In reply to#647040
Hi,

Mostlikely for high performance computing à la,
the Actor/Erlang model is dead, they might rely
on MPMC (Multiple Producer, Multiple Consumer)

queue entities separate from the threads. The
ISO Prolog multi-threading support had also such
threads. But besides that was also Actor/Erlang

leaning in practice, like SWI, where threads
have some default queues. So an actor is basically
a Thread and Mailbox conflation. While a MPMC queue

is a kind of separate Mailbox, where multiple
"actors" can read from and write from. A kind of
localized Linda Tuple store.

Which Programming language did adopted the
non-Actor pi-calculus model? Right golang
with its channels.

Hi,

On could believe the AI boom is a kind of
Charles Darvin Galapagos Island Evolution
Trick of repurposing FFT hardware.

But this is of course not true, HPC, high
performance computing, has already defined
level 3 ops years ago.

But look at this rabit hole of Ryzen AI 7 350
NPU design, which is a stripped down Xilinx,
stripped of exotic FFT features:

Getting peak TOPS on a Ryzen AI 7 350 NPU
https://destevez.net/2026/05/getting-peak-tops-on-a-ryzen-ai-7-350-npu/

But the core feature, very long instruction
word (VLIW) engines, with hardware accelerated
GEMMs, scattered in grids of ASIC tiles,

connected by DMA and NoC, is even not very
specific to AMD, you find it also in Snapdragon /
Qualcomm SoCs for AI Laptops.

Bye

P.S.: My brain playing tricks, why should I
name a library(ironpaw) ? From the same
article above. Maybe WebNN is easier to use?

"mlir-aie contains a Python framework called
IRON that generates LLVM MLIR code representing
a workload that runs on the NPU, including the
code that runs on each compute tile processor

and the configuration of DMAs and other hardware.
Kernels for the compute tile processor can be
written in C++ and compiled either with the
open-source llvm-aie Peano compiler, which is

a fork of LLVM that adds support for the Xilinx
AI engine processors, or with the closed-source
Xilinx CHESS compiler, which is included in Vitis.
In simple cases the kernels can also be directly

written in Python with IRON."

In reply to#647036
Hi,

Tablets and phone are more annoying to
use with WebGPU. The usual browsers don't
have a Chrome DevTools panel integrated,

so that one could do JavaScript Debugging
directly on the device. Instead one has to
use a desktop machine, and connect the

device via UBS-C , and start a Chrome
Browser there . And then start a Chrome
DevTools panel alone, that is pair with

the device, via UBS-C cable. So this way
I already see where it crashes on the
tablets and phone:

await output.mapAsync(GPUMapMode.READ)
Unhandled Promise Rejection: OperationError

The above is the error that one can re-produce
already here with this test:

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

Not sure what exactly happens. Maybe
a form of timeout or device lost, that the
primitive HTML / JavaScript doesn't handle

gracefully yet. Maybe redimensioning the
test, so that it consumes less time would

#647077 — NPUs doing 2d chess comms (Manhattan Distance or L1 Norm) (Was: Tablet and phone UBS-C remote debugging)

Hi,

Looking at the floor plan of a NPU:

Getting peak TOPS on a Ryzen AI 7 350 NPU
https://destevez.net/2026/05/getting-peak-tops-on-a-ryzen-ai-7-350-npu/

It seems to me comms between tiles takes
at least Manhattan Distance or L1 Norm time,
if there is no comms congestion

But how does a packet travel? This way:

+----E
|
|
S

Or this way, from start S to end E:

    +-E
   +
  +
S

And what does the chip do if there is
traffic congestion? Some papers are
here, possibly an old problem giving

that processor "cubes" are nothing new.
But a "cube" would be 3D and not 2D.
This paper is old from 2007 or so:

Routing Algorithms for 2D NoC Architectures
http://cva.stanford.edu/classes/ee382c/research/2DRouting.pdf

Hi,

Chris M. Thomasson can ask 100 more questions.
I will happily answer them. But maybe I should
make a Wiki to explain the ever same things:

 > But, I still don't know what you main goal is?
The goal is "Prolog inferencing"

 > It has textures to work with in the pipeline.
I don't need textures for "Prolog inferencing"

98 more questions to go, don't give up!

Hi,

Ok, following the instructions here:

npm install webgpu
https://github.com/dawn-gpu/node-webgpu

I can now run webgpu also from CLI:

 >node.exe dogelog.mjs
Dogelog Spieler 2.2.5, Node, JavaScript 26.4.0
(c) 1985-2026, XLOG Technologies AG, Schweiz

?- ensure_loaded(library(edge/furryhaze)).
true.

?- between(1,3,_), time(expedite((between(1,100,_),
between(1,100,_), between(1,100,_)), [size(4096)])), fail.
% Zeit 1037.994 ms, GC 0.000 ms, Lips 111 k
% Zeit 1091.131 ms, GC 0.000 ms, Lips 106 k
% Zeit 1045.274 ms, GC 0.000 ms, Lips 110 k
fail.

Same benchmark result as in the browser.
Now I can rent a bigger GPU by the hour
and do some easy CLI testing.

LoL

Hi,

You are such a moron. GPU elasticity was
already invented in 2008 with CUDA. I posted
this quote already:

"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"
https://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/43395/NV_DS_Tesla_S1070_US_Jun08_NV_LR_Final.pdf

Today elasticity is on logical thread aka task level,
not only on "core" level or something. Don't know
exactly what CUDA did back them, maybe only

a submit elasticity, like a time sharing system. Today
you have quite some run elasticity on modern machines,
for your logical threads. Even in budget laptops

like a Ryzen AI 7 350 /w Radeon 850M.

Bye

P.S.: I can demostrate the elasticity, but I didn't
write the medium.com article yet.

Don't worry about it.  There are several regulars here
who
     don't
           understand

that programming can be done for fun.

Here in sci.math, as everyone knows, I'm gearing up for
/linear algebra/ for fun.  Still waiting for DVDs because
I'm not in a hurry.  The book /Linear Algebra Done Right/
is interesting, and I've yet to go through the other rec-
commendations.[1]

I'm curious if you've ever thought of doing OpenGL with Prolog?

Does that even work?

You might have good luck looking up reputable university programs
and seeing what textbooks they require, these days.

Or, you know, just buy old ones when the library retires
the old good ones.

How about Householder's "The Theory of Matrices in Numerical Analysis".

Linear independence and linear spaces inevitably
get associated with vector spaces. There are much
simpler accounts though of reflections and rotations
about the determinantal and the singular and the decompositions
and the forms and the echelon forms and reduction with regards
to things like cumulants and orthogonants and the matroids,
vis-a-vis usual closed categories and so on.

The cumulants and orthogonants and so on are lesser-served
accounts of the earlier 20'th century, and determinantal analysis, while
the matroids are the a bit more obscure accounts of geometrizations with
regards to matrices.

What "linear" even is is usually enough "linear is linear".
Generally considered "ordinary" if through substitution.


I'm an anti-reductionist, yet though reduction is one
of the most usual results in closed categories, the
methods and techniques, point being closed categories
aren't allowed to close themselves, only being found so.

Sometimes "linear independence" is better read as "linear dependence",
this is because words like "abstract" and "general" and "closed" and
"regular" and "ordinary" have inverses, matters of perspective and
projection, then about the difference from the "non", the "super",
for example the "classical".

"Truth is regular. Geometry is motion."

I have several books that have been rescued from libraries.  Sometimes
even corporate libraries, but now forgot which specimen that was.  One
of my priced collection is /Phigs and Phigs+, An Introduction to 3D
Computer Graphics/, by John W. Blake (1993) and I haven't read a lick
of it.  Possibly never will.

Appending A has a Fortran 77 example, and Appending B has one in C.

I have therefore added comp.lang.fortran and comp.lang.c to the
discussion.  Mostly because the regulars there annoy me.  They know
who they are.

I took sci.physics.relativity out of the discussion, as I don't know
anything about relativity at all.  A future followup can re-add it
if relativity affects this conversation.

I have to admit, I understood some of those words.

I'm on the other hand, pro-Gauss-Jordan reduction.  I may even
try to code it in C on my own, instead of doing it the coward's
way and use Sage like a "normal" mathematician.

And in sci.math, don't think I have anything against "normal" mathe-
maticians.  It's just a question of how we define "normal."  Are we
talking about normalized mathematicians like we do to SQL databases,
or are we talking about Smith and Hermite normal forms [which I did
not know were terms until I looked at the Wolfram website], or just
a regular normal form mathematician like we do in /lineal algebra/?

Have a nice and normal mathematical day!

Fwiw, I have several compute shaders that do what I want. Mainly 
building vector fields, etc.... And yes I use textures for some input 
and output, uniforms mainly for the settings, etc. Just, make sure to 
code things up to a point where your compute shader never needs to wait 
for something... Think of striving for wait-free algorithms.

For instance, this is 100% wait free.

void add_hit(ct_plane2d plane, vec2 p, vec3 weight)
{
     vec2 uv = ct_plane2d_unproject(plane, p);
     ivec2 px = ivec2(uv * u_resolution);

     if (px.x >= 0 && px.x < int(u_resolution.x) &&
         px.y >= 0 && px.y < int(u_resolution.y))
     {
         imageAtomicAdd(accum_r,    px, weight.r);
         imageAtomicAdd(accum_g,    px, weight.g);
         imageAtomicAdd(accum_b,    px, weight.b);
         imageAtomicAdd(accum_hits, px, 1.0f);
     }
}


Notice how I separated my accumulation buffer into different textures?

layout(binding = 0, r32f) uniform coherent image2D accum_r;
layout(binding = 1, r32f) uniform coherent image2D accum_g;
layout(binding = 2, r32f) uniform coherent image2D accum_b;
layout(binding = 3, r32f) uniform coherent image2D accum_hits;  // alpha 
/ hit counter

Works great and runs really fast.

Hi,

I assure you I have like 3-4 times already
communicated to you that my requirements are
bounded queues. And not the ideally unbounded queues
that you are using, i.e. imageAtomicAdd.

Just check the postings in this forum. I have
like 3-4 times already specified that I need
bounded queues.

 > Works great and runs really fast.

You repeating yourself. Whats the motivation
of this spamming. I mean I can officially acknowledge
here that I have seen your imageAtomicAdd code

already. I also responded back then that I
have a Queue prototype that exactly uses that.
But it doesn't work for my purpose because I need:

- bounded queues that can block
- sizes are typically like 4-32 elements
- blocking is not done in GPU
- blocking is done in Hack
- Hack can do work stealing etc..

Because Hack can do a lot of tricks, you shouldn't
worry at all. Also spinning with backoff etc..
could be part of the picture, just check out:

Parallel Programming, Spring 2019, Lecture 16+1:
Spinlocks, Deadlocks, Semaphores
https://spcl.inf.ethz.ch/Teaching/2020-pp/lectures/PP-l17-BeyondLocks.pdf

So just let me do my research, and refrain from
spamming me with always the same nonsense. Better
listen. I assure you I have like 3-4 times already

communicated to you that my requirements are
bounded queues. And not the ideally unbounded queues
that you are using., i.e. imageAtomicAdd.

Just check the postings in this forum. I have
like 3-4 times already specified that I need
bounded queues.
