/**
 * Graphics state used to synchronously read data from WebGPU buffers.
 *
 * This trick is borrowed from TensorFlow.js. Basically, the idea is to create
 * an offscreen canvas with one pixel for every 4 bytes ("device storage"), then
 * configure it with a WebGPU context. Copy the buffer to a texture, then draw
 * the canvas onto another offscreen canvas with '2d' context ("host storage").
 *
 * Once it's on host storage, we can use `getImageData()` to read the pixels
 * from the image directly.

What is [[Modal]] (to an audience of my people at Harvard/MIT):

(Preface: I really like computers! Just saying.)

Modal does two things: rent out flexible increments of compute, and build the systems for people to interact with remote computers.

Why? Computers are all around us; you checked the weather this morning, but a wind turbine operator might check the state of the electrical grid, restaurants manage inventory, even the ISS navigates in orbit with computers.

Computers are how we process huge amounts of data (in energy, elections, housing, biology…), which would never be possible by hand, and in that sense computation augments how we understand the world.

• MoonRay — [[September 8th, 2024]]
  • AOV system is interesting. Light path expressions primarily.
    • "Material AOV" provides different kinds of syntax for debugging materials.
  • Use of different JIT compilation through LLVM to implement their ISPC framework. SPMD computation on an Arras cluster.
    • They take a JSON describing the material and compile it down into shaders!
    • Kind of cool to have an out-of-the-box optimization.
    • ISPC / SPMD is close to a CUDA thread actually, running multiple of them within the same core. Only works for this compiler. It "looks like" gang scheduling, but in reality it's perhaps converting all of the instructions into AVX?
