Matmul on Blackwell: Part 2 – Using Hardware Features to Optimize Matmul

In the first blog post in this series we explained Nvidia's Blackwell GPU architecture and concluded with a 4 line kernel that was a bit worse than cuBLAS. In fact, the performance was a lot worse coming in at 0.3% of cuBLAS and leaving 1758 TFLops on the table. In this post we are going to continue our journey and improve our performance by more than 50x our initial kernel benchmark.

What to Do with an Old iPad

I recently inherited my parents’ old iPad 2. It had iOS 9 on it and was barely usable, in part due to how slow it was but mostly because of old SSL certificates and apps stopping support. But I wanted to give it some life because I hate to see a working machine go to waste. So I asked around and got a great answer: The iPad 2 can be downgraded to iOS 6.1.3 or 8.4.1. Both offer better performance than iOS 9 and have untethered jailbreaks. Once downgraded and jailbroken you can sideload hours and

Apple plans to release iPhone 17 and more at the 'Awe Dropping' event September 9: Here's everything to expect

We're now just days away from the Apple's September 9 event, where the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models. But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreamed on

10 Indie Genre Films We’re Excited for This Fall

You’d be hard-pressed to be a movie fan if you didn’t find a big Hollywood release to be excited about this fall. Maybe it’s the return of the Avatar, Predator, or Tron franchises. Maybe it’s a new film from an iconic filmmaker like Edgar Wright, Guillermo del Toro, or Yorgos Lanthimos. Or, maybe you can’t wait to be scared by new films in the Conjuring, Black Phone, or Five Nights at Freddy’s franchises. Whatever the case, as usual, Hollywood tries to have something for everyone.

Gizmodo’s Best of IFA 2025 Awards: See the Winners

IFA, short for Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin, meaning “International Radio Exhibition Berlin” because it started in 1924 when radios were the hottest things in tech, doesn’t see as many major gadget announcements as CES. Still, it’s Europe’s largest tech show to close out summer, and this year the show doubled down on the stuff its Messe Berlin convention halls are typically known for: smart home gear and robots. That’s not to say there weren’t the usual new laptops, speakers, and wacky

This is an easy way to instantly know if someone's thoughts continue past an initial post. Meta There's also a new design element that auto

EU fines Google $3.5 billion over adtech antitrust violations

Forget Open Earbuds, It’s All About Open Headphones Now

I’m a big fan of open audio, but not everyone loves the earbud form factor. Despite how comfortable some of the entrants in the open-ear audio space may be—Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds and Nothing’s Ear Open are particularly comfy—sometimes you just want a pair of more traditional over-ear headphones, whether for ergonomics or more stability on your head. The problem is, if you want to combine the two (headphones and open-ear audio, that is), you’re not exactly flush with options. JLab, however, pl

OnePlus and Hasselblad are ending their five-year partnership

Tamagotchi Paradise trades stressful virtual pet parenting for nature and tranquility

On a random Saturday in August, I became the omnipotent caretaker of a newly formed planet, one born, according to the lore, from humankind's collective love of Tamagotchis past and present. An egg hatched and a planet sprang forth. Then another egg hatched down on the surface of that planet and a critter sprang forth. In the few weeks since, I've raised half a dozen more creatures across three different virtual habitats, slowly but surely turning my planet into a bustling hub of adorable alien
