Agreed, but unfortunately, they are not cheaper and I'm not sure if its economies of scale or something else

They have two big problems: 1. lack of efficiency - only 80% roundtrip, much less than Lithium. 2. they go completely offline for periodic maintenance. This is done automatically by Redflow, but the loss of availability is problematic in s

Not that it helps, but the world was beginning to take a downturn before the pandemic.

Its a very small % of die space. Hardly any power compared to the rest of the CPU. [Edit:] I got deja vu, searched my comment history, and found we were still harping on about this exact same crap 9 years ago: https://news.ycomb

The limiting factor of Optane is actually the controller. The power consumption of the controller itself, as well as the costs of getting high bandwidth to and from CPU and memory. Current products are striking a conservative balance and

Intel really don't do anything unless they already have a market for it. They have bundled with Xeons in the past. If there turns out to be a market (which comes down to tools and cloud platform to make this existing tech much more acc

Worth mentioning that elastic.co themselves run a hosted service on AWS that is of a high quality and has none of these flaws.

I was referring to actual execution of bytecode in parallel, not just support for vectorized math.

Has anyone seen any work done on a virtual machine bytecode that leans on Intel AVX to do its work in parallel?

It represents an average, of clocks per sample. For example when in the C3 to C6 states, the clock is stopped so would be effectively zero during those tiny periods.

I still don't understand: Is there any good reason that raw data should not be published along with each paper?

Apparently it can present itself as actual system RAM to the host, in a different NUMA segment to the CPU.

Australia has laws about this: eg. If you do >80% of your work for one company, you are an employee for all tax/employment law purposes.

Thankfully Intel has already done alot of new work in this area - allowing PCI devices (GPU, Xeon Phi) etc, to share computing resources more evenly.

There is also the question of whether they're talking about a direct carcinogenic effect on the personnel applying the Round Up product, versus antibiotic effect on consumers of food containing Round Up residue.

There is now a Mobile Xeon CPU, which is available in the Lenovo P50/P70 series, with ECC RAM.

Although the technological aspect may cease to advance, I think for a lot longer after 3-6 years, things will continue to get cheaper, and this will hide what is happening for consumers for at least a decade.

I agree (re: favoring Apple's model). Whether server or mobile, there'll be fewer SKUs, and those that exist need to be blockbuster hits. It may well be that economics is the limiting factor stopping Intel's long run, not th

The Jepsen test is of a very old version. Since then ES has had work done to the clustering, as well as adding an fsynced transaction log.

I work from home in an area that gets high amounts of fog, and I frequently go days without seeing the sun. I can confirm that I seemed to need about 10k lumens before making an noticeable change in mood. I used three (1 warm, 2 cold) rela

On the bright side: There are worse things than a processor lockup (which is easy to spot when it happens). And the other bug was in the newest architecture (Skylake) and did not affect Xeons. Arguably the memory Row Hammer exploit was fa

If you have SSDs, its faster. If you have more than 1 spinning disk in a RAID, its faster too.

I'd give Elasticsearch a go. Easy to install, easy to run, easy to use, easy to scale into a cluster if you need it.

Docker is not a "jails" clone. (Linux has had "jail" like containers, called LXC, for almost 10 years now.)

Having just had a big overseas trip full of delays and unplanned hotel stays, this can't come soon enough. Everything is computerized already anyway, may as well improve the quality of data the software has to make the decision.
