#AMD unwraps Instinct #MI500 boasting 1,000X more performance versus MI300X — setting the stage for the era of #YottaFLOPS data centers
Achieving a 1000X performance increase in four years is a major achievement, though we should keep in mind that between the Instinct MI300X and Instinct MI500 there is a three-generational instruction set architecture (ISA) gap (#CDNA3 => #CDNA6).
Next-generation #CDNA 6 architecture on-track for 2027.

Nano3P-seq: charting the coding and noncoding transcriptome at single-molecule resolution - Nature Protocols

This protocol uses a customized nanopore cDNA sequencing method and a complementary software package, PolyTailor, to estimate the abundance and tail length and composition of multiple RNA biotypes at the single-molecule level.

#AMD's Instinct #MI355X accelerator will consume 1,400 watts. #CDNA4 challenges #BlackwellUltra.
AMD's #MI350X-series #GPU are based on #CDNA 4 architecture that introduces support for FP4 and FP6 precision formats alongside FP8 and FP16.
Both SKUs will come with 288GB HBM3E memory that will offer up to 8 TB/s of bandwidth, but MI350X will offer maximum FP4/FP6 performance of 18.45 PFLOPS, whereas the MI355X is said to push the maximum FP4/FP6 performance to 20.1 PFLOPS.

Scientists elucidate molecular mechanisms behind dinoflagellate cyst dormancy

Dinoflagellates play crucial roles in aquatic ecosystems, particularly as major contributors to harmful algal blooms. They can enter a dormant stage, known as the resting cyst stage, that allows them to survive for extended periods—up to 150 years—in marine sediments. This dormancy is essential for their annual population dynamics, blooming cycles, and geographic expansion.

Bacteria encode hidden genes outside their genome; do we?

Since the genetic code was first deciphered in the 1960s, our genes have seemed like an open book. By reading and decoding our chromosomes as linear strings of letters, like sentences in a novel, we can identify the genes in our genome and learn why changes in a gene's code affect health.

@nanopore Super-accuracy basecalling is done for our most recent P2 Solo runs. I'm seeing about q20 modal accuracy from mapped reads.
