I've been asked about this a lot, so let me provide a quick FAQ. Q: What's the nature of the issue? A: Anyone who has bought my book from Amazon in the past few month hasn't bought a genuine copy, but a lower-quality counterfeit copy printed by various fraudulent sellers.

For instance, if you go to the page of DLwP2 on Amazon, you see that it's being sold by a 3rd party seller named "Sacred Gamez". If you click "buy", you won't get the actual book from Manning. You get a low-quality counterfeit printed by the fraudulent seller (from the book PDF)

C-for-Metal: High Performance SIMD Programming on Intel GPUs

The SIMT execution model is commonly used for general GPU development. CUDA and OpenCL developers write scalar code that is implicitly parallelized by compiler and hardware. On Intel GPUs, however,…

2019 is the smallest number that can be written in 6 ways as the sum of the squares of 3 primes: 7² + 11² + 43² = 2019 7² + 17² + 41² = 2019 13² + 13² + 41² = 2019 11² + 23² + 37² = 2019 17² + 19² + 37² = 2019 23² + 23² + 31² = 2019

I have a BEng and an MSc but can barely follow 75 year old engineering reports from #WW2 in my own field. I am also 100% sure that due to their maths grounding, they would learn to Code, far faster than I could equal their maths. We`re doing it all wrong - I`m deadly serious.
