07:48 tomeu: gah, the NVDLA design seems so much better than VSI's...
07:49 tomeu: it is starting to look as if a single 2 TOPS core in the RK3588 is as powerful as the 5 TOPS core in the A311D
07:50 tomeu: because of missing logic in VSI which causes operations to have to be lowered to convolutions, which besides being slower, also causes the other operations to have to wait
09:15 phh: gotta admit i'm surprised, since it seemed to be rk3588's tpu was limited to doing exclusively convolutions and that was an issue -_-'
09:16 tomeu: ah no, it has the HW blocks that other NVDLA implementations have as well
09:18 Daanct12: tomeu: good progress on the ai stuff
09:19 tomeu: thanks, it's indeed going pretty well
09:40 phh: tomeu: to understand the abstraction: you can currently run anything on tflite, and tflite will delegate to teflon only the operations teflon can do?
09:49 tomeu: teflon will ask the drivers what they support, and tell tflite what they don't
09:54 phh: oh you did the ai-on-mainline presentation at embedded recipes. I should have motivated myself to come
09:54 tomeu: indeed :)
10:37 phh: I love your choice of name for the rk teflon driver
10:38 tomeu: thanks, inspiration stroke unexpectedly :)
14:34 phh: (I'm looking at your branch to see if I can be motivated enough to upgrade mesamatrix to include teflon)
14:36 phh: tomeu: may I ask if/who is financing this work? if i understand it you were paid bycollabora and now by libre computer?
14:36 tomeu: so, when collabora financed it, I was still targeting opencl. so I would say that none of teflon falls under that category
14:37 tomeu: LibreComputer ( lvrp16_ ) financed the development of Teflon and the etnaviv-based driver
14:37 phh: ok thanks
14:38 tomeu: the rockchip work is being financed by myself so far :)
14:38 phh: understood
14:38 phh: when you say "financed", it's actually properly financed, not just sent few dev boards for free?
14:38 tomeu: yep, as in who pays for the time spent on it
14:38 phh: cool cool
14:38 phh: thanks
14:39 tomeu: I have got some boards from other parties, but I don't count that as financing as I cannot pay my bills with them (at least, in these quantities :p)
14:40 phh: well, at some point in my life I considered OEMs sending my smartphones for free (I mostly do Android stuff in my floss contributions) was a proper help. Nowadays it's indeed rather "meh, that's cheap advertising for them"
14:52 f_[xmpp]: I personally think getting boards for free is a proper help
14:54 tomeu: well, it is proper help, but I wouldn't consider it financing
