Make me tend to doubt your credentials.  I know a lot of people who have a computer science degree and they're system administrators, network engineers, or programmers.  They also work with a big company.  Doesn't make them experts in anything.

My problem is, if you legitimately have the creditials you claim to have to assert that SemiAccurate is wrong, then why didn't you have the same ability to assert AMD was wrong?  Because if you have the creditials you claim to have, then you should have been able to read the information that is freely available and make the logical assumption that either the guy from AMD was wrong or he had no clue as to what Microsoft had done.  Yet, you didn't.

Which either means as NSanity as suggested, that you're full of shit or that you purposefully troll.

So which is it?  Are you full of shit or do you purposefully troll the forums, knowing the correct answer but making statements contrary to what you know or believe just to create discord?

My post...

I tried to explained what is hUMA (I never coded to a CPU/GPU with hUMA because it is a new thing in the industry).

PS4 GPU does support hUMA at full state... MS did not support that because the eSRAM... the eSRAM is not coherent in Xbone and a hUMA enable system needs to have all shared coherent memory... so because the eSRAM MS was forced to create a new solution (based in hUMA? I don't know)... if that solution is better or not than hUMA I don't have the awnser because I don't even know if hUMA is that good but in terms of code you have a lot less to write with hUMA (better performance than a not shared memory? I think so).

To make the thinkgs simples the Xbone use a difference memory system from everyting I already saw...

Main DRAM pool: CPU/GPU shared memory coherence
eSRAM pool: CPU/CPU shared memory non-coherence

Xbone is a non-hUMA compilance... their solution is better than hUMA? I don't know.

Are there any other comments that you have issue in that thread?

About my graduations... I'm a low/high level software guy and not a hardware engineer but I wrote techinical articles about new hardware architectures years ago (expecificly Phenon, Core, Fermi, R600, R700, etc).
