Apple's M1 pro uses Metal to accelerate ML workflows across multiple systems. The company has a background in how to make GPUs do interesting and then using things, if we want to say it that way. We're like getting to like, you know, 1970s, 1980s. 90s. You should be able to run doom on it is the key thing. Wait, Metal actually does like large field arithmetic, or do you have to do some weird tricks?
In this week’s episode, Anna and Guillermo chat with Brian Retford and Jeremy Bruestle from RISC Zero. They discuss their previous work in cloud infrastructure and how ZK offered unique solutions to long standing scaling problems. They cover topics like RISC-V, building VMs, and how RISC Zero aims to build a system which could support a decentralized public cloud.
