The conclusion is an utter joke:
“Maybe this will lead to abondonment of complex deep-optimizing chipsets like Intel chipsets, and make simpler chipsets, like ARM chipsets, more popular for datacenter deployments.”
- rejectedandsad 5y agoWhy is that a joke? There's a reason why AWS is pushing Gravitron so hard (and they are pretty damn fast)
- Nacraile 5y agoWhy would one presume that the reason has anything to do with computation error rates, rather than something obvious and mundane like "Graviton instances are more profitable"?
- rejectedandsad 5y agoControlling the entire stack, from control plane to core layout is absolutely better for isolating computation error rates if they occur.
- IshKebab 5y agoProbably because datacentre ARM chipsets aren't significantly simpler than Intel ones. Not in any ways that would reduce this problem anyway! The article even says this is because of reduced feature size, not chip complexity.
