Leadership

  • Bishop Peter Ebere Okpaleke (29 April 2020[1] – present)
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: According to this very trustworthy table, it actually does have unreasonably vast amounts of throughput.
gollark: It's a shame they haven't backported the apparently nice-to-program bits of AVX-512 to AVX2, just without the whole 512-bits thing.
gollark: I assume it's because they didn't put it in the E-cores because big register file or something.
gollark: They have good reasons, I think, but it's also really stupid.
