Talk 3: Michael Vollmer #3
Comments
On an early slide, "side-by-side" should not be broken up by a line break. That bullet point should not be a sentence. How about a picture with two arrows labeled "embed"? |
There seemed to be a good deal of bullet point reading in the beginning. I've found if I'm writing long bulletpoints, those are supposed to be presenter notes, and the bullet should be a short phrase, or a phrase or two that summarizes the whole slide. o General Autotuning Framework |
Conference Question: When you have a lot of "great fits", how do you pick one? Is it a guess-and-check thing?
|
Standard advice: text bad, code ok but not too much, pictures good ;-). |
Does the genetic algorithm do more work per "iteration" than the others? Or are they all normalized so one tick on the X axis is one eval of the fitness function? |
Why are simulated anealing and genetic WORSE than random on breadth first search? |
Applicative tuning probably doesn't deserve that much time -- can't cover everything in the paper... |
I didn't hear you say that KnownSymbol is for type level strings. (I heard "Type level lits".) |
What do we think about a picture of a tree with literal low hanging fruit, with the things you're doing as the name of the fruit? |
You're reading your slides a lot. Have less text and more pictures. I'd show an Obsidian code snippet as soon as you introduce Obsidian, before the bullet list. On the Obsidian slide, pictures showing the GPU architecture would help understand the memory hierarchy, blocks, warps, etc. It'd be a good idea to define push and pull arrays, since they are a central idea in Obsidian. It was hard to tell with the technical difficulties, but this talk seems too long. I'd try to focus on key ideas, challenges and intuitions from the paper and let the audience read the paper for more details. One thing that could probably be trimmed is to not go into each benchmark individually but instead highlight the interesting or surprising aspects of the results. |
Dan found typo -- "soring" |
