Good job! Might have closed a side leak there. Next step might be to to make sure certain TCP packets under a certain classification gets encrypted together with data traffic?

Deep Learning, AI and NASDAQ?

I'll clean up, but as it's more philosophy than an academic exercise and use of technical vocabulary, it's not straight forward.Even so, here is some text: Given progress and results in deep learning systems pushed forward with ontology from human produced semantic structures on top of attention and memory guided by an invisible hand out of blue sky thinking. In many ways this is the equivalent...

Attention and Memory and half a horse

Would like to point out that most advanced AI runs on "human memory" and attention, and cannot deal with semantics as a reflective process and therefor a dead end. Mostly due to semantics as related to ontology in the dichotomy with epistemology is designed against the goal of achieving coherency and awareness with identity.

Worth mentioning a Haswell system with QDR i helped build. I discovered that it was needed to use an older version of libpsm to avoid a bandwidth boost tweak that increased latency which isn't the competitive advantage of IB QDR. Also highly disappointing they down clocked Haswell as soon as AVX2 was touched. Given no temperature increase, there isn't a thermal argument for it just for using more of the micro instructions on the die. Was an early system, and needed to use end-of-life CentOS for the correct library versions.
Although, quite obviously used to accelerate memory access in AVX2. Sorry for adding much after, its 6 years ago.
So gather-scatter is slightly inaccurate, as it is more detailed memory management.
Actually,it was for auto-vectorization. Given the data structure and algorithm used it wasn't feasible. And ended up proposing gather-scatter scatter-gather in software as though different math involved for different geometries, it is still embarrassingly parallel, but not for single simulated collision events. And it was for GEANT to take advantage of future hardware and increase instructions per clock where memory bandwidth is a problem: http://geant.cern.ch/

My work for CERN on gather-scatter for AVX in software 2012

Most of the content sent to ARM and AMD along with Intel investor relations. Due to this not being shared from CERN and only Intel using it."Attached is my draft for publication of my summer student at CERN OpenLab in 2012. Where we discovered the problem of transient data in pipe-lining data from memory. To take full use of the AVX instruction set due to data pointers in arrays would be...
