WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN A CUDA KERNEL

This post describes the process of compiling and executing a simple CUDA program that adds two vectors, detailing the steps from code compilation with nvcc to execution on a GPU. It explains how the host CPU interfaces with the GPU, manages memory, and triggers kernel execution through mechanisms like the pushbuffer and Queue Meta Data (QMD). Additionally, it elaborates on the GPU's instruction execution model, including how warps are scheduled and how memory accesses are optimized to ensure efficient parallel computing.

WHEN REACT HOOKS STOP SCALING: MOVING COMPLEX STATE TO ZUSTAND

React hooks can be efficient for managing state close to the UI, but they can become inadequate when shared state needs to be accessed and updated from multiple components or external sources. Transitioning to a dedicated state management solution like Zustand makes this shared state management easier.
