Efficient matrix multiplication

High-Performance Matrix Multiplication

This is a short post that explains how to write a high-performance matrix multiplication program on modern processors. In this tutorial I will use a single core of the Skylake-client CPU with AVX2, but the principles in this post also apply to other processors with different instruction sets (such as AVX512).

Intro

Matrix multiplication is a mathematical operation that defines the product of

Terminological Note

"OpenPGP" refers to the OpenPGP protocol, in much the same way that HTML refers to the protocol that specifies how to write a web page. "GnuPG", "SequoiaPGP", "OpenPGP.js", and others are implementations of the OpenPGP protocol in the same way that Mozilla Firefox, Google Chromium, and Microsoft Edge refer to software packages that process HTML data.

'Users hate change'

'Users hate change'

This week NN Group released a video by Jakob Nielsen in which he attempts to help designers deal with the problem of customers being resistant to their new site/product redesign. The argument goes thusly:

  1. Humans naturally resist change
  2. Your change is for the better
  3. Customers should just get used to it and stop complaining

There's slightly more to it than that, he caveats his argument with requiring you to have of course followed their best practices on product design, and allows for a period of customers being able to elect to continue to use the old site, although he says this is obviously only a temporary solution as you don't want to support both.

APFS Container cloning/replicating under Catalina (with a bootable system)

Today I wanted to move existing APFS-resident macOS Catalina installation to a new disk. I upgraded my late 2014 Mac Mini with a shiny new 1TB SSD. This took way too many hours of my life I will never get back. Hope this saves some time to you.

Good news:

  1. it is possible to create a DMG image from existing APFS container with macOS Catalina installation including metadata needed for complete restore (the DMG contains OS, OS Data, Preboot, Recovery and VM volumes)
  2. it is possible to restore this DMG image into empty APFS container and get a bootable copy of the original system

This information is relevant for Catalina (I'm currently running macOS 10.15.1).

Checking your Raspberry Pi's view of its power supply (sometimes it's not the wall-wart)

Checking your Raspberry Pi's view of its power supply

Sometimes it seems like the first (and sometimes only) advice you get offered for almost any problem with a Raspberry Pi is "check your power supply". You think something like:

"hey, I'm using an official power supply sold as being matched with my Pi so how can there be any problem?"

You look up the specs then stick a controlled load across your supply and confirm that it can deliver the required number of Watts.

Yet your problems persist…

How to Hand-Track Polar-orbiting satellites

How to Hand-Track Polar-Orbiting Weather Satellites

This is how I hand-track polar-orbiting weather satellites using an old equatorial mount telescope tripod and a 1.7 GHz grid dish. This may not be the best way to do it, and other ideas are welcome!

If you're unfamiliar with HRPT reception, this is not the right place to learn about it. Head over to https://sgcderek.github.io/blog/beginner-hrpt-guide.html for that. This write-up only focuses on hand-tracking to record a baseband.

Hardware Required

The crux of the "tracking" design is the equatorial mount. These are not cheap to buy new, it's destructive to mount a dish to it, and the mount is not used the way it's designed - but for my needs, it works! I had an old one from the early 1990s lying around, so it was convenient and essentially free. Of course, you can use another mount - but you'll need to ask for someone else's opinion on how that works since equatorial is all I know 😄.
