Yes, sorry, the implicit assumption I accidentally left in my head is that when we're talking about factoring being important, it's products of 2 biggish primes (hence an answer one step removed from the lists of largest known primes).
NNs for example are (mostly) a sequence of matrix multiplication operations, and GPUs are very good at those. Much better than CPUs. AI is hot at the moment, and Nvidia is producing the kind of hardware that can run large models efficiently which is why it's a 2 trillion-dollar company right now.
However, in the Spiral series, I aim to go beyond just making an ML library for running NN models and break new ground.
Newer GPUs actually support dynamic memory allocation, recursion, and the GPU threads have their own stacks, so you could in fact treat them as sequential devices and write games and simulators directly on them. I think once I finish the NL Holdem game, I'll be able to get over 100x fold improvements by running the whole program on the GPU versus the old approach of writing the sequential part on a CPU and only using the GPU to accelerate a NN model powering the computer agents.
I am not sure if this is a good answer, but this is how GPU programming would be helpful to me. It all comes down to performance.
The problem with programming them is that the program you are trying to speed up needs to be specially structured, so it utilizes the full capacity of the device.
If my visa was rejected the first time,( I was planning to visit the US on a tourist visa) do I have a chance of getting my visa approved? Or will the process be more difficult for me now?
The crash of Luna 25 disheartens me as an engineer, representing a substantial loss of effort and work. However, I'm pleased with Chandrayaan-3's success.
I was planning to purchase a Macbook, but now I think it's better to wait for M3. I am impressed with the M3 specifications. It would be ideal if I could run LLM models on my computer locally.
