That's pretty beefy for what they call an IoT dev kit. What are the IoT use cases for a machine like this?
- voxadam 4y agoIf I had to guess, edge compute for networks of far less powerful IoT devices.
- jacquesm 4y agoVehicles, industrial control.
- Havoc 4y agoNeither seems to ned 80 cores?
- jacquesm 4y agoIf you think of a modern car as a miniature data center on wheels you wouldn't be too far off, and cars aren't the only vehicles.
- temp2022account 4y agoIdk for most safety-critical stuff you'll run a realtime OS, and all important sensor polls will be pinned to a core. I assume industrial controls could have 40-or-so sensors that you would want to minimize latency for because if you miss a reading the possibility of something breaking/someone dying opens up.
- monocasa 4y agoSomething like this isn't being used for that kind of realtime control, the memory hierarchy is too hard to nail down in a way that doesn't negate dedicating cores to tasks. It's probably meant for 'embedded' applications like storage appliances.
- joespeed 4y agoGM uses it in the Cruise Origin autonomous robotaxis.
- monocasa 4y agoDo they use the cores to babysit sensors, or as general compute?

- monocasa 4y agoJudging from that, like I said not using the cores to babysit individual sensors using hardware separation of many cores to simplify hard real time constraints, but instead as a block of general compute.
- cjbprime 4y agoI think maybe they just want to handle small API requests for many millions of devices at once.
- mastax 4y agoIoT just means embedded. Cell tower, maybe?
