1. Is there any Likelihood Netflix needs will migrate to ARM in thr next few years? (I see you’re right up at end of the deck, curious if you’re seeing more advancements with ARM than x86 and as such, project ARM to surprise x86 for your needs in the foreseeable future)
2. Can you comment more on thr 800 Gbps reference at end of deck
- drewg123 5y agoWe're open to migrating to the best technology for the use case. Arm beat Intel to Gen4 PCIe, which is one of the reasons we tried them. Our stack runs just fine on arm64, thanks to the core FreeBSD support for arm64 The 800Gb is just a science experiment.. a dual-socket milan with a relatively equal number of PCIe lanes from each socket. It should have been delivered ages ago, but supply chain shortages impacted the delivery dates of a one-off prototype like this.
