Heterogeneous Computing with Raja Koduri

Raja Koduri joined Bryan and Adam to answer a question sent in from a listener: what's are the differences between a CPU, GPU, FPGA, and ASIC? And after a walk through history of hardware, software, their intersection and relevant companies, we ... almost answered it!
In addition to Bryan Cantrill (mastodon.social/@bcantrill) and Adam Leventhal (mastodon.social/@ahl), our special guest was Raja Koduri (x.com/RajaXg).
