GPU frameworks like PyTorch, JAX and TensorFlow jump-started the development in the field of AI. With the right balance of flexibility and performance, they allow for fast iteration of new ideas while still being performant enough to test or even use them in production. @@ -187,11 +187,11 @@ For more complex operations - where inlining is less useful - stencils call a no e: R_X86_64_PLT32 result_float-0x4 ``` -Unlike stencils, non-stencil functions are not stripped and do not need to be tail-call-optimizable. +Unlike stencils, non-stencil functions like `sinf` are not stripped and do not need to be tail-call-optimizable.
