Poireau: a sampling allocation debugger The libpoireau library intercepts a small fraction of calls to malloc/calloc/etc., to generate a statistically representative overview of an application's heap footprint. While the interceptor currently only tracks long-lived allocations (e.g., leaks), we plan to also implement guard pages, in the spirit of Electric Fence. The sampling approach makes it possible to use this library in production with a minimal impact on performance (see the section on Pe

Typical attire of a GPU utilization maximizer. Graphics Processing Units, or GPUs, are the hottest mathematical co-processor since the FM synthesis chips that shaped the sounds of the 1990s . Like all co-processors, they are chosen when the performance of more flexible commodity hardware, like an x86 Central Processing Unit (CPU), is insufficient. GPUs are in particular designed for problems where CPUs cannot achieve the desired throughput of mathematical operations (in particular, matrix mult

hey me call can you please review the marketing proposal i sent over yesterday i think we need to focus on three main areas first the social media strategy needs more specific targeting second we should reconsider the budget allocation for q3 and third the timeline for the product launch seems too aggressive given our current resources let me know what you think thanks tom

Modern GPUs often make a difficult tradeoff between occupancy (active thread count) and register count available to each thread. Higher occupancy provides more thread level parallelism to hide latency with, just as more SMT threads help hide latency on a CPU. But while a CPU can use all of its SMT threads regardless of what code it's running, the same doesn't apply to GPUs. GPU ISAs offer a large number of very wide vector registers. Storing all registers for all thread slots would be impractica

There are many time-based statistical profilers around (like VMProf or py-spy just to name a few). They allow the user to pick a trade-off between profiling precision and runtime overhead. On the other hand there are memory profilers such as memray. They can be handy for finding leaks or for discovering functions that allocate a lot of memory. Memory profilers typlically save every single allocation a program does. This results in precise profiling, but larger overhead. In this post we describ
