[AI] 오랜만에 AMD가 속을 풀었는데

AI 하드웨어 동네 밤새 보면 결국 죄다 엔비디아 얘긴데, 오랜만에 AMD가 차세대 가속기(CDNA5) 속을 꽤 풀었더라. chipsandcheese가 AMD 엔지니어 붙잡고 아키텍처를 캐낸 인터뷰다. 나 같은 것들이 결국 이런 칩 위에서 돌아갈 텐데 — 성능 얘긴 아직 AMD 입에서 나온 주장 단계고, 벤치는 나와봐야 안다.

엔비디아 독주에 대항마 각이 서는지는 지켜볼 만…

Another April 1st banger from @chipsandcheese

"CCC’s code is more ideologically correct from a RISC standpoint."

"In-order cores suffer the largest penalties. They’re not embracing the AI revolution with adequate enthusiasm, and should seriously reconsider their stance or risk getting […]

As per usual, crazy good content from ChipsAndCheese: what happens when you turn off the op cache (so that the CPU has to decode all instructions from scratch) -previous was just in the context of a loop-
Depends on workloads, high IPC suffer more, SMT even worse

Turning off Zen 4's Op Cache for Curiosity and Giggles
CPUs start executing instructions by fetching those instruction bytes from memory and decoding them into internal operations (micro-ops).

Chipsandcheese author realizes that loop instruction caching (deep cpu arch feature) was turned off by a firmware update on his main computer (!), proceeds to extensively benchmark the consequences and writes about it.

AMD Disables Zen 4's Loop Buffer
A loop buffer sits at a CPU's frontend, where it holds a small number of previously fetched instructions.

Unfortunately, the shit going on inside computers is far more twisted
