gollark: How do they manage to have the same FP64 and FP32 throughput? I thought there was some quadratic scaling going on there.
gollark: As far as I know ROCm is available on basically no GPUs and is very finicky to get working.
gollark: It seems like AMD could have done a much better job than they did, though.
gollark: DRAM is what regular RAM sticks use: it uses a lot of capacitors to store data, which is cheap but high-latency to do anything with, and requires refreshing constantly. SRAM is just a bunch of transistors arranged to store data: it is very fast and low-power, but expensive because you need much more room for all the transistors.
gollark: They say they have 200 MB of SRAM on each (16nm) chip. That sounds hilariously expensive.
