Scientific computing often involves code that can be represented as wide, tree-like expressions. Vectorizing this code can improve performance by running multiple branches of the tree in parallel. To facilitate this process, the author created Vexpr, which converts readable expressions into vectorized code at runtime. The author conducted a series of experiments using Gaussian Process […]
Declassified spy satellite images from the Cold War era have shed new light on the Roman empire by revealing previously unknown forts. Archaeologists reviewing aerial photos from the 1960s and 70s have identified 396 Roman forts in Syria and Iraq, challenging previous understandings of the Roman frontier. The discoveries suggest that the frontier was a […]
