Computing power has emerged as a crucial national resource. Ever since the first general purpose computer, ENIAC, was used to calculate artillery and bomb ballistics, compute applications have exploded. Today, engineers use computer simulations to cheaply evaluate designs before using more resource intensive validation techniques like building scale models in wind tunnels. Scientists simulate protein…
It's been four years since AMD launched RDNA, the successor to the venerable GCN graphics architecture. We take a look through the tech and numbers to see.
