Hi,

If only the fucking moron Chris M. Thomasson would
stop spamming his nonsense, he doesn't listen at
all. Problem, he cannot read, he knows nothing.

Its very common that compute shaders can block,
when they are used for General Purpose computation
on GPUs (GPGPU). If only he would pull out his

finger from his asshole, and stop thinking in his
WebGL legacy code stash nonsense. Even the
Cerebras Waver has blocking:

"Cerebras Software Language (CSL), send_color
and recv_color are parameters passed to tile
programs to manage data routing and virtual
channels (called colors) across processing
elements (PEs) on the wafer

Yes, both send and receive operations can block
on a Cerebras Processing Element (PE), primarily
due to the system's hardware-enforced backpressure
mechanism. Because the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine
(WSE) relies on a fine-grained,

dataflow-driven architecture, blocking prevents
data loss when hardware resources are
fully saturated."

Blocking and Unblocking
https://sdk.cerebras.ai/computing-with-cerebras#blocking-and-unblocking

Chris M. Thomasson is an annoyance and an idiot.
He is a total waste of time. And represents those
people who cannot use their brain.

Hi,

How it started, NVIDIA being cool:

NCCL provides routines such as all-gather,
all-reduce, broadcast, reduce, reduce-scatter,
and point-to-point send and receive. These
routines are optimized to achieve high
bandwidth and low latency over PCIe,
NVIDIA NVLink™, and other high-speed
interconnects within a node and over
NVIDIA networking across nodes.
https://developer.nvidia.com/nccl

How its going, vLLM trying to be cool:

[RFC]: Native Weight Syncing APIs
However, there are no standardized methods for
performing online weight syncing. Open source projects
like SkyRL, VeRL, and TRL need to include their
own implementations of the weight syncing
infrastructure, leading to added complexity
for developers seeking to adopt vLLM as their
inference server for post-training workloads.
https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/31848

How much Workers are enough? I guess it depends
on I/O parallelism, CPU Memory parallelism, CPU
Processing parallelism, and now also

GPU Memory parallelism and GPU Processing
parallelism, and last but least you might have
a couple DMAs sitting here and there,

or even invoking a sort of RDMA. Quite amazing!

In reply to#896603
Hi,

Recently there was a paper somebody mentioning
a flit doing a ACK or NACK, to express
backpressure inside a Network on a Chip.

But what is a flit? It seems multiple
flits can be used to create the message
passing in one directiob before the

ACK or NACK in the other direction?

"The growing need for performance from
computing systems drove the industry into
the multi-core and many-core arena. In this
setup, the execution of a kernel (a program)
is split across multiple processors and the
computation happens in parallel

Flits represent logical units of information,
while phits represent the physical domain,
that is, phits represent the number of bits
that can be transferred in parallel in a
single cycle. Consider the Cray T3D. It has
an interconnection network which uses

flit level message flow control wherein each
flit is composed of eight 16-bit phits. That
means its flit size is 128bits and phit size
is 16bits. Also consider the IBM SP2 switch.
It also uses the flit level message flow
control, but its flit size is equal to its
phit size, which is set to 8 bits."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flit_(computer_networking)#Example

Well my idea how this is realized in silicon
is rather foggy, I mean even the Hack project
from Nand 2 Tetris, does not show some gate level
schemes for flits and phits.

Could be an interesting extension. But somehow
the image of flits and phits inspired my channel
objects here below. But I am afraid they are fire
and forget, no ACK and NACK:

π-WAM Contest: 1 Million Packets with Prolog
https://medium.com/2989/ec3e91551773

Its amazing that a max_size(1) buffer
can beat an unbounded buffer!

LoL

Hi,

Now I implemented some multiple producer
and multiple consumer channel objects for
WebGPU. The only API to integrate it user

facing into pi-WAM is this single predicate:

/**
  * flit(C):
  * The predicate succeeds in C with a new channel. The channel
  * can be used from within GPU backed π-WAM logical threads.
  */

The Mac Neo is a Budget Monster. While the
Ryzen AI Laptop cost around 1300.- CHF.
The Mac Neo was around 600.- CHF with all

extras. Here some performance results,
checking out whether channel objects scale,
when increasing their number to

communicate the same 1 millon packets:

Java performance:

AI Laptop    Single    Double
Ryzen    705.1    337.4
Neo    669.4    239.9

WebGPU performance:

AI Laptop    Single    Double
Ryzen    731.8    392.9
Neo    932.8    483.5

Cool! Java is also pretty cool, their
semaphore library is top notch. I couldn't
replicate the resulst with JavaScript yet,

seems their Atomics.wait() resp. Atomics.waitAsync()
is totally broken, using futex is mutex for
fools somehow. I also found some gremlins

attacking one of the GPUs. The Intel AI Laptop
fails the above experiment. Maybe its a driver
Vulkan versus OpenCL or something problem,

or the Lunar lake architecture is nonsense.

Hi,

We didn't find yet a library for our Think that
would support webgpu on the ARM architecture,
so its back to the browser flag and testing there.

The node.js package comes only with:

dist
+-- d3dcompiler_47.dll
+-- darwin-universal.dawn.node
+-- linux-arm64.dawn.node
+-- linux-x64.dawn.node
+-- win32-x64.dawn.node

Its a similar situation like with SVN. In some
communities its not common to provide a ARM build.
They rather use x86 till the end of the universe.

Although we think initiatives like the x86 Ecosystem
Advisory Group could be a clever marketing trick to
hide a funeral service. Adding "luminaries" such as

Tim Sweeney and Linus Torvald to the panel, is even
more so a joke, given that intel produces mutex bottlenecks
instead of futex, where f stands for fast, in their GPU

infrastructure. So who is the teacher and who are
the students? But why even try to create a collation
against ARM, it doesn't make any sense.

Hi,

Sometimes I think the Loderunner Enemy AI
was way ahead of its time:

Lode Runner - Broderbund - 1983 - Apple II
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJZJepU8law

Meanwhile SWI-Prolog Prologers even don't know
whether a Prolog text is CNF or DNF:

Sets of rules as conjunctions and/or disjunctions
https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/sets-of-rules-as-conjunctions-and-or-disjunctions/9779

No Wonder that the EyeProlog "why" feature produces
nonsense. Even a Flea circus is less crazy.

Bye

P.S.: If only there would exist something like
universities where one can take a basic course in
FOL, and then a world wide web, where one can

lookup clark equational theory, clark completion,
curry howard correspondence, etc.. etc..

Hi,

The biggest joke, is to have logic somewhere
in procedure and somewhere in declarative, and
try to see different takes on logic.

They really don't know what this mantra means:

Algorithm = Logic + Control

And cannot relate it to the ideas of declarative
reading and procedural reading. The problem is
a too lax introduction of this notions,

prematurely before the notion "logic" is
even understood. But nobody understands the
meaning of the term "logic", i.e. a set of

supposedly tautological sentences, as under-
stood by mathematical logic. There is a subtle
error again to conflate it with a "calculus",

so this website has a very misleanding title,
although they try hard to not commit the fallacy,
and have subtitles "Proof System" and "Logic Level":

Welcome to LogicProof
https://6ximik9.github.io/naturalDeduction/

The there is this moron:

There is only one “minimal logic”. The term denotes Johansson’s 
Minimalkalkül [1937] — intuitionistic logic without ex falso quodlibet — 
and nothing else. No rival system competes for the name.
https://vidal-rosset.net/rule-correspondence-F.html

Of course there are rival "Proof Systems" aka
calculi, even when the "Logic Level" is minimal
logic. It is as if Joseph Vidal-Rosset doesn't

understand basic German. You have to look behind
"Minimalkalkül" to find "Minimallogic". Right?
To identify calculus with logic, is maybe a 1930's

fallacy, but then we had model theory besides
proof theory, and people should be more educated
now. Model theory can be also expanded to

non-classical logics and even minimal logic, to
give a purely semantic reading. Ok some modern
morons think they need to invoke the word "algebraic".

Hi,

Woa! I am impressed:

Howard died in Chicago on March 13, 2026,
at the age of 99.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Alvin_Howard

I recomend every body reading his original Curry-Howard
Isomorphism paper. He even mentions sigma types,
calling it Strong existence (choice operators):

THE FORMULAE-AS-TYPES NOTION OF CONSTRUCTION
https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~crary/819-f09/Howard80.pdf

Can you derive a Prolog program for proof
normalization? A good setting to read the paper
is a greek FKK beach.

Bye
