tinygrad VS minikeyvalue

Not sure if I completely understand what "Ryzen AI" does, but Tinygrad for example has some limited support for RDNA3[0]. It isn't quite there yet in matters of performance though, as you can read in the comments of that file.

There's also a small tutorial by AMD on how to use the WMMA intrinsic[1] using AMD's hipcc[2] compiler. Documentation is sparse kinda sparse, but the instruction set is not huge. The RDNA3 ISA guide[3] might also be helpful (and only a fraction of the pages are relevant.)

This post describes how I added automatic differentiation to Tensorken. Tensorken is my attempt to build a fully featured yet easy-to-understand and hackable implementation of a deep learning library in Rust. It takes inspiration from the likes of PyTorch, Tinygrad, and JAX.

what do you think about tinygrad? I think its a good example of growing and well written, (partially) well documented library with many close to reference implementations

The idea of model architecture making fast hardware design easier is what makes https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad so interesting.

Before we begin, make sure you have TinyGrad and the required dependencies installed. You can find the installation instructions here.

Try to get something like tinygrad[1] running locally, that way you can tweak things a bit run it again and see how it performs. While doing this you'll pick up most of the concepts and get a feeling of how things work. Also, take a look at projects like llama.cpp[2], you don't have to fully understand what's going on here, tho.

You may need some intermediate knowledge of linear algebra and this thing called "data science" nowadays, which is pretty much knowing how to mangle data and visualize it.

Try creating a small model on your own, it doesn't have to be super fancy just make sure it does something you want it to do. And then ... you'll probably could go on your own then.

minikeyvalue - A ~1000 line distributed key value store.

Sure, you can do something like this in 1000 LOC, but it seems unlikely that a uni student would be writing that type of program.

Hrm. How does the distributed part work? I'm somewhat confused there. I've opened an issue to ask about this too.
