A Haskell developer explores methods to invoke low-level CPU instructions from GHC, such as computing the full 128-bit product of two 64-bit integers, despite GHC lacking inline assembly support. The …
The x86 AI Compute Extensions (Ace) specification has been released as a PDF document, detailing new instruction set extensions for artificial intelligence workloads on x86 processors. The specificati…
Intel has published the x86 AI Compute Extensions (ACE) specification, defining new matrix multiplication primitives and reduced precision data formats to accelerate machine learning workloads. The ex…
A new reverse-engineering pipeline called ISA_recovery automatically generates Ghidra SLEIGH processor specifications for undocumented instruction set architectures by using an agentic workflow of lar…
Intel saw every major technological shift from mobile to AI years in advance but systematically failed to execute due to internal bureaucracy and an obsession with x86 profit margins, according to a d…
Intel and AMD are jointly developing Advanced Performance Extensions (APX), a major expansion of the x86 instruction set that doubles the number of general-purpose registers from 16 to 32 and adds con…
