Are your current benchmarks useful? Here is a clip from 2021, still relevant. @rebeccalipon @brendangregg

It’s always cool when our team’s deep dives help figure out how to improve something most of us use.. who doesn’t like a high quality binge or three?

Awesome to be at my first @AISES conference in Palm Springs with @red_stapler.. going to share our path in SW and tech this afternoon!

We have been working this for years, but finally the most used silicon in the world.. CPUs, are a first class citizen in TensorFlow. Default, easy, out of the box, and highly performant.

Awesome to have @brendangregg joining Intel!

[Brendan Gregg @brendangregg]

Thanks, Greg! I'm thrilled to be joining at this exciting time. I'm looking forward to improving the performance and observability of everything -- all xPUs, apps to metal -- working with great people at a company I have long respected and admired.

Last summer Portland Oregon heat hit 116F, today we have snow in April for the first time since records started in 1940…. #ListenToThePolarBear

PSA: my fellow tech people, if musicians are hired to play our little parties - please applause, its a courtesy. And tip the bartenders. Kindness and gratitude is circular.

[Das 👽 🐯 😎 @dkamhout]

Are our current benchmarks DOA, or is the approach just antiquated? Great writeup by #HarshadSane on how we need to switch to analyzing production code... to make benchmarks real again. Step 1...

Amazing addition, excited the @GranulateLtd team is joining us!

Finally I have hot tea, in my cold basement…. My life has changed so much for the better. Thanks @appenz should have listened earlier :) @EmberTechnology

Last week at #IntelON we heard how Signal uses SGX https://t.co/1QJ0A6pzAQ - and this week #Azure is offering up our latest with Confidential Compute instances. Looking forward to innovative code and use cases with the larger enclave #MSIgnite

[Das 👽 🐯 😎 @dkamhout]

@rebeccalipon and I discuss system and software advances for Cloud at scale at #IntelON  and @brendangregg joins us from @Netflix to bring his unique perspectives. Join us live on Oct 28, 9:40 AM PDT. “Meet the Geek” Q&A follows. https://t.co/ZKnrG8AlHf #IAmIntel

“Intel is saving developers thousands of hours.” Good write up on why Linus is wrong about AVX-512…. Seeing more and more creativity by sharp SW engineers in how to get more perf and how we are simplifying.

[Geoff Langdale @geofflangdale]

Solid AVX-512 article by Sasha Krassovsky from @SingleStoreDB - exactly what I've been telling people for years. AVX-512 is very solid for integer workloads and isn't just a "daxpy workhorse".

First time in 30 years without owning a car... 4 months in so far.. I do have a motorcycle, bicycle, OneWheel, roller skates and a skateboard... but it is still so tempting to want to buy a new car! So, what should I get? ;)

[Das 👽 🐯 😎 @dkamhout]

Mitchells vs the Machines.. better than most of the Oscar movies this year... and it also has John Legend.

[Das 👽 🐯 😎 @dkamhout]

Good to see so many companies contributing to the code foundation of much of our tech. Which tech companies are missing from this list?

[Ravi A Giri @ravigiri]

Something worth highlighting: Intel is at the top of the employers of Linux Kernel contributors and has been in the top 5 for more than a decade. 2/3

Flight of the Concords approved? Coconut bliss and fresh fruit swirled into soft serve? Is this the start of the next Portland line around the block ice cream? Take my money...
