The Book I Could Not Afford to Get Wrong
Every book I take on carries some risk, and on most of them the risk is mine alone....

I really don't understand how the MAGAts I still believe the dipshit's "everything that I do that hurts you is Joe Biden's fault".

In my futile quest to get more people to make mosquito traps for their yards, I made a visual. Please share with friends and sneak into any presentation you're giving even if it's completely unrelated to mosquitoes. Mosquito Dunks contain Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis ("Bti"), a bacteria that is safe for everything except mosquito larvae, work for approximately 30 days, and are available at most garden centers and hardware stores in North America. Bti-containing powders and liquids are sold worldwide under different trade names. NB: the white lid helps you see mosquito larvae (if present it's time to add another dose of Bti). #mosquitoes #mosquito #ipm
I am no longer being mistaken for Jack Black now that he's filled out and greyed up. Now it's Zach Galifianakis. Insisting in my American accent that I'm not some American movie actor doesn't seem to help me convince people in Ireland, either. I swear I'm nobody. Promise.

Abstract: GPU has become the leading computing device for a wide range of data-intensive applications, which tightly collaborates with remote all-flash array (AFA) to accommodate ever-expanding datasets, facilitate multi-client data sharing, and guarantee fault tolerance. Although GPU is the center of computation, all I/O processes in existing GPU-AFA systems are still CPU-centric. CPU orchestrates remote I/O requests and executes a centralized AFA engine to take charge of AFA-level functionalities (e.g., access control and metadata persistence). This design disparity suffers from substantial CPU-GPU interaction overhead and I/O traffic amplification, compromising end-to-end I/O performance.
In this work, we present \emph{GNStor}, a GPU-native AFA system that enables GPU to directly access remote AFA without CPU intervention in the I/O path, thereby fully exploiting the performance of AFA. Specifically, GNStor first proposes a GPU-centric NVMe over RDMA (NoR) software stack (named \emph{GNoR}), paving a fast path for GPUs to directly initiate NoR I/O requests to SSDs within remote AFA. GNoR employs an atomic-operation-based I/O orchestration design and follows the single-instruction-multiple-thread (SIMT) execution model of GPU, fully exploiting the massive parallelism of GPU architectures. To facilitate essential AFA functionalities in a CPU-bypass I/O path, GNStor further designs \emph{deEngine}, a decentralized AFA engine that seamlessly decomposes and integrates AFA-level tasks into each SSD firmware, thereby achieving efficient AFA access at low cost. Evaluation results show that GNStor achieves 3.2$\times$ higher I/O throughput and reduces application execution time by 31.1\%, compared to state-of-the-art AFA systems.

I have not posted so much about #meshtastic lately, mostly because our area have basically moved over to #meshcore instead. The reason is that the few people who where active wanted to try out meshcore - so I joined them.

Tangerine Dream zagra w Polsce w maju przyszłego roku.
Ale jak zobaczyłem, że koncert w Warszawie odbędzie się w Progresji, podczas gdy w innych miastach w gmachach oper i filharmonii, to mam poważną zagwozdkę, czy nie pojechać gdzieś w Polskę.
@dawid@social.craftknight.comNarazie majówkę mamy szaloną - co dzień inne miejsce.
Zaczęliśmy od odwiedzenia wytwórni octów balsamicznych (w sobotę była zamknięta przez święto, więc ogarnęliśmy w czwartek dopiero), aby uzupełnić zapasy. Właścicielka nas poznała - już trzeci raz tam jesteśmy i nie mogliśmy się nagadać, bardzo ją ciekawiło gdzie byliśmy, i sama opowiadała o swoich podróżach kamperem do Grecji sprzed 20lat.
Potem był piątek nad rzeką Pad, gofry z rana i pranie w miasteczku Piacenza. Wieczór zako…
