Yeah, however, the problem with breaking laws around immigration in a place you like is that you won't have to do much to become ineligible for the convenient visa options. As in, get caught by immigration working on a tourist visa, ge

Fixed large bar exists in some older accelerator cards like e.g. iirc the MI50/MI60 from AMD (the data center variant of the Radeon Vega VII, the first GPU with PCIe 4.0, also famous for dominating memory bandwidth until the RTX 40-ser

98 lanes of PCIe 4.0 fabric switch as just the chip (to solder onto a motherboard/backplane) costs 850$ (PEX88096). You could for example take 2 x16 GPUs, pass then through (2 2 16=64 lanes), and have 2 x16 that bifurcate to at least x

It massively helps arithmetic intensity to batch during inference, and the desired batch sizes by that tend to exceed the memory capacity of a single GPU. Thus desire to do training-like cluster processing to e.g. use a weight for each infe

We aren't talking "towing of inappropriate loads" levels here, and trailers heavy enough to cause such worries (by being too heavy for the frame of a, say, Prius, not just overloading the transmission/brakes) really ough

And here I thought (PCIe) P2P was there since SLI dropped the bridge (for the unfamiliar, it looks and acts pretty much like an NVLink bridge for regular PCIe slot cards that have NVLink, and was used back in the day to share framebuffer an

There are smog masks from Asia where it's almost needed to be outside in many major metro areas; they use a cloth carrier with a laminated inlay of N95-like particle and activated carbon VOC filtering.

You could use a shear bolt or similar to fail without hurting the frame, or at least the frame tanking a decent number of those events (where the shear bolt fails each time) before fatigue limits make it unsafe to use afterwards.

Bandwidth is far more power hungry for DDR, but capacity is far cheaper. If the bandwidth capability of DDR suffices, HBM isn't worth it. At least with LPDDR's; GDDRs may well not be worth it under data center TCO considerations d

Also, like, FP tensor cores are way more expensive than fixed-point tensor cores, and with some care, it's very much practical to even train DNNs on them. E.g. it's common to have a full-width accumulator and e.g. s16 gradients wi

Well, the technology for them is far from recent, the process control and chamber geometry design to allow the needed precision and uniform-ness at the throughout needed to not be extremely expensive, however, required cheap microprocessors

No, LEDs are far wider than low pressure sodium, which is two about 0.1nm wide (thermal broadening, IIUC basically Doppler effect between the emitting particle and the surrounding world/containment vessel) lines 0.56nm apart. See http

More that the manual needs to be in all those languages, and you might needs to communicate in them for warranty, etc.

I've overall looked at about 100 GB*years of edac counter on this massive, and never once there was any error. If I knew how, I'd dial down the voltage very slowly while running a rowhammer PoC to either catch it hammering or catc

by namibj 3y ago
Running at that speed with that little voltage implied good speed binning, though. Also I tried to get factory-OC'd RAM, but couldn't find any 32G sticks with ECC.

Sparse Universal Transformer is older and already did routing-based early termination...

What do you think of developing electrochemistry to e.g. recover silicon, magnesium, and iron from the very common olivine? Yeah, the other two aren't used much today, but they seem to be superior in specific strength to steel, and mos

How expensive are they to make these days? There's also one in progress made from human stem cells that blocks a teeth-regrowth-inhibitor, causing mice and ferrets to grow more and new teeth. It should allow human adults to grow new te

I think IPFS's IPLD facility for integrating git"s blockchain has it documented as part of discussions on how to offer splitting of git objects as they naturally can be gigabytes.

Yeah it's basically not worth it with silicon to recreate electricity. It's good for heat, though.

Tbf the fans may be broken on them, or at least not far from being broken. I.e., plan to waterblock it.

Got a reference? Because my Zen3 desktop has the driver loaded and information shown, just not the bitflips but that may be due to excessively early refresh configuration.

Keep in mind that for my 5950X I had to buy Micron Rev E 16Gbit x8 due based DIMMs, rated 3200CL22, running 3600CL18. I.e., they just don't ship with XMP presets. Overclock it yourself. It's not that hard.

Boil-off can be prevented by loosely wrapping in 50~100 layers of aluminized mylar ("space blanket"), adding some solar panels and heat rejection panels, and a 2 or 3 stage refrigerator to keep the contents cold enough to not trig

I suggest a thorough discussion with GPT-4, based on datasheet information of the given parts, to talk through options for interfacing and then attempting to flesh them out and find concrete parts.

Low band gap is actually detrimental for transistors. The more spare band gap, the higher temperature you can operate them at.
