Hello XDNA!

We're documenting how to program AMD's NPUs in Ryzen AI chips.

Our website covers the ISA, register files, operation latencies, and hand-optimized assembly kernels for tensor contractions.

Measured single-compute-tile throughput:
• XDNA1 (Ryzen 7 8700G): 398 BF16 GFLOPS (86% of peak)
• XDNA2 (Ryzen AI Max PRO 390): 1760 BFP16 GFLOPS (95% of peak)

Ever wondered what happens when you mix your grandma's patterns with 1980s assembly language? 🤔 Welcome to the world of Core War warriors, where digital gladiators throw virtual knitting needles to crash each other's imaginary computers. 😂 Spoiler alert: watching paint dry might be more exciting than this spectacle of "advanced" coding strategies. 🖥️💥

Dreamed about Intel 808x assembly language last night - that hasn't happened in years.

In the early days of computing, hackers did not expect an operating system to fit every machine. Many wrote their own OS tailored to the exact hardware they owned, tuned for specific CPUs memory layouts and peripherals. This was not about portability or polish but about control. The operating system was an extension of the hardware and understanding both was part of the craft.

That mindset never fully disappeared. Projects like KolibriOS show that a modern usable system can still be written almost entirely in assembly language, small fast and deeply aware of the machine it runs on. It is a reminder that custom operating systems are not relics of the past. With enough study and curiosity, people can still build software that speaks directly to hardware instead of sitting layers above it.

Brent's manifesto on how to write C code is so deeply innovative that it’s basically just assembly with a fancier hat. 🤓💻 Apparently, he's so committed to "perfect encapsulation" that he forgot to encapsulate his own . 🙄

Pop quiz: how many cycles does it take to execute `xor eax,eax` on x86? My guess was incorrect.

Ah, yes, another riveting tale about a grown adult discovering the joys of Assembly language 😴. Surely, this will revolutionize our understanding of why are now better at than your average toddler 🤖🎮. But hey, who needs a social life when you have 80s and code to keep you warm? 🌟
