Hardware researcher spins up ‘CPU deoptimization’ project to find the slowest single x86 instruction, creates hall of shame — worst offender takes 198 billion cycles spanning 62 seconds to execute
Hardware researcher spins up ‘CPU deoptimization’ project to find the slowest single x86 instruction, creates hall of shame — worst offender takes 198 billion cycles spanning 62 seconds to execute

One hardware researcher, Christopher Domas (@xoreaxeaxeax on GitHub), is taking a different approach with the CPU Deoptimization leaderboard, which looks not to make Assembly instructions run as fast as possible, but as slow as possible to find the single instruction with the highest latency.

AI creates 16 new viruses that never existed in nature after learning DNA’s pattern from 9 trillion nucleotides — experts warn such applications are way ahead of necessary guardrails

Researchers used Evo AI models trained on trillions of DNA building blocks to design entirely new viral genomes, 16 of which became viable bacteriophages capable of infecting and reproducing inside E. coli.
