Shared by @CompSciFact ↗Fault-tolerant quantum computing based on lattice surgery requires place-and-route compilation with low spacetime overhead. Routing, in particular, faces a basic tension between suppressing path conflicts through greater spatial allocation and exploiting

Floating-point numbers are very useful for scientific programming, but early microprocessors only supported integers directly. 1 Although...
In 1980, Intel released the Intel 8087 floating-point coprocessor, a chip that could make math up to 100 times faster. As well as arithmetic...

Catherine (Whitequark)’s recent observations on poorly-engineered firmware reminded me of a few mistakes I’ve seen in vendors’ CPUs; some unimportant and others surprisingly bad. Since I’ve never seen these widely discussed, here’s some discussion and lin
General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) is a critical kernel in high-performance computing and deep learning. While modern architectures like ARM's Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) introduce dedicated hardware for matrix operations, existing linear algebra li
