Register allocation in the Go compiler (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Vladimir Makarov 2025-09-30 20:14:57

As a maintainer of the GCC register allocator (RA), I naturally have a keen interest in the register allocators used in various industrial compilers. For some compilers, like LLVM and Cranelift, there is sufficient documentation, including papers and presentations, to gain a deep understanding of their register allocators (RAs). Unfortunately, this is not the case for the Go compiler. To gather information about the RA in the Go compiler, I had to delve into its source code. This article outlin

A Gentle Introduction to CUDA PTX

news.ycombinator.com Philip Fabianek 2025-09-28 23:30:41

Introduction As a CUDA developer, you might not interact with Parallel Thread Execution (PTX) every day, but it is the fundamental layer between your CUDA code and the hardware. Understanding it is essential for deep performance analysis and for accessing the latest hardware features, sometimes long before they are exposed in C++. For example, the wgmma ↗ instructions, which perform warpgroup-level matrix operations and are used in some of the most performant GEMM kernels, are available only th

This AI Wearable Is the World's First 'Near-Telepathic' Device

We're one step closer to telepathic conversations with each other. Or we're close to having a technology that makes it seem that way, at least. A new AI device was recently announced that, if worn by two people, can allow for silent communication. Alterego, the name of the company and the new AI device, was developed by MIT Media Lab and is a peripheral neural interface that will enable you to converse with AI assistants, other machines and other people who are also wearing the device -- all wi

DoorDash unveils Dot, its autonomous robot built to deliver your food

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-10-02 20:00:00

On Tuesday, DoorDash unveiled Dot, a small robot it built in-house that can autonomously drive on roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks to deliver food and small packages at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. Dot is designed to look friendly and even cartoonish — painted bright red, with big LED eyes and a mouth that swings open to reveal where it holds your food — though I’d argue it’s slightly creepy. DoorDash says it’s already testing the robot with early access partners in the Phoenix metropolitan

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, attends the Viva Technology conference at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris on June 16, 2023.

Zach Cregger’s Saving His DC Film ‘Henchman’ For the Right Time

Last month, we learned Zach Cregger had another project on his hands: Henchman for DC. Once again written and directed by him, the movie would star a low-level goon that moves up in the crime world after apparently taking down Batman, similar to the Batman: The Animated Series episode “The Man Who Killed Batman.” Henchman was just a script at the time, but you can imagine Cregger would get to actually pitching it once he had some free time.

How I went from an e-bike hater to a believer

A wise person once observed that cycling in my neighborhood in Seattle is like going uphill both ways. It’s the absolute truth. My house? On a hill. The business district I want to get to? On a different hill. The route to the coffee shop? Hills galore. And inevitably, as I’d grind through another steep climb, swearing under my breath, I’d hear an electric motor whir behind me.

These Climate Hacks to Save the Poles Could Totally Backfire

Last year, the United Nations predicted that Earth’s average temperature could rise more than 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) by 2100 if we don’t reduce global emissions. That level of warming would cause catastrophic, irreversible damage to ecosystems, underscoring the urgent need to slow the pace of climate change.
