pi-WAM is just like Laika3, the first Dog on Mars (Was: TSMC's 2nm (N2) node and the 7 GHz target)

Hi,

We recently implemented a parallel π-WAM
on a GPU backend and could demonstrate an
estimated 11.4 Giga Lips. In this post we
report a further experiment, this time
presenting a parallel π-WAM on a CPU backend,
that can lift specialized Prolog, currently
to 1.7 Giga Lips performance.

Having an excess number of threads is a
bad idea. What if we do context switching
on our own? With this approach we could
bring down the execution time of 128 Hack
VMs by 33%. We estimate for the test which
had 11.4 GLips on the GPU, that we reach
1.7 GLips on the CPU.

Bye
