Hello,
 
 
U.S.-based chip-tech group(The nonprofit RISC-V Foundation) moving to Switzerland over trade curb fears

According to the RISC-V Foundation, from a technical standpoint, the architecture should be able to compete with Intel, AMD, and ARM. The foundation says they see no reason why a RISC-V implementation should be any slower than x86 or ARM, and that "the ISA design should enable implementations to be somewhat more efficient than either." As for power consumption, the foundation says that depending "on the quality of the implementation," power efficiency should be able to more than match ARM's low energy use.
 
"In one point of comparison, the RISC-V Rocket core is twice as energy efficient as the most similar ARM implementation, the Cortex-A5," the foundation said in a Q&A.

That's depending on the efficiency. If you would desin a
CPU with a comparable IPC and clocking like a current x86
there won't be a big difference.

If even ARM doesn't make it for years, RISC-V is even more unlikely.

Hello,
 
 
Read the following interesting news:
 
The finite element method finds its place in games

But you have to be aware that finite element method uses Conjugate Gradient Method for Solution of Finite Element Problems, read here to notice it:
 
Conjugate Gradient Method for Solution of Large Finite Element Problems on CPU and GPU

This is why i have also designed and implemented my Parallel Conjugate Gradient Linear System Solver library that scales very well,
here it is:
 
My Parallel C++ Conjugate Gradient Linear System Solver Library
that scales very well version 1.76 is here..
 
Author: Amine Moulay Ramdane
 
Description:
 
This library contains a Parallel implementation of Conjugate Gradient Dense Linear System Solver library that is NUMA-aware and cache-aware that scales very well, and it contains also a Parallel implementation of Conjugate Gradient Sparse Linear System Solver library that is cache-aware that scales very well.
 
Sparse linear system solvers are ubiquitous in high performance computing (HPC) and often are the most computational intensive parts in scientific computing codes. A few of the many applications relying on sparse linear solvers include fusion energy simulation, space weather simulation, climate modeling, and environmental modeling, and finite element method, and large-scale reservoir simulations to enhance oil recovery by the oil and gas industry.
 
Conjugate Gradient is known to converge to the exact solution in n steps for a matrix of size n, and was historically first seen as a direct method because of this. However, after a while people figured out that it works really well if you just stop the iteration much earlier - often you will get a very good approximation after much fewer than n steps. In fact, we can analyze how fast Conjugate gradient converges. The end result is that Conjugate gradient is used as an iterative method for large linear systems today.
 
Please download the zip file and read the readme file inside the zip to know how to use it.

Hello,
 
 
 
About human intelligence..
 
Researchers have conducted many studies to look for genes that influence intelligence. Many of these studies have focused on similarities and differences in IQ within families, particularly looking at adopted children and twins. These studies suggest that genetic factors underlie about 50 percent of the difference in intelligence among individuals.

A recent study of 18,OOO children from the UK and three other countries by Queensland University in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that about 60% of a child's intelligence is inherited. However, that figure has been debated and seems far from conclusive.
