US export controls certainly must slow down China somewhat. They can't import Nvidia's fastest GPUs, but are stuck with buying hobbled variations. Getting a domestic industry on par is hard.

Reportedly, the German government scaled down its original legalization plans as they would be in violation of current EU law. Private is in the scope of member state legislation, but virtually everything related to trade is subject to EU r

Can't find documentation online yet for this year's H100 systems, but here's a schematic for an A100 server: https://docs.nvidia.com/dgx/dgxa100-user-guide/introduction-... There 2 GPUs, 2 NICs and

Many shows have hit their strides in later seasons. IIRC I found Breaking Bad a bit boring in season one. (Granted, probably the writing was already better than season one of Foundation.)

External NVSwitch (for more than 8 GPUs) isn't available for purchase yet. But even now you typically buy your A100 or H100 training GPUs in servers where each GPU has an individual 400 Gbps Mellanox networking adapter, then connect th

It's strange that Netflix would do that. In Germany, they pioneered consistently offering original audio. (For instance, Amazon Prime Video was available earlier than Netflix here, and originally most of their catalogue was dubbed to G

It's so weird that they still haven't learned to provide multiple audio tracks and subtitles. I don't know how sizable the portion of the market is that they lose this way, but people like you and me won't ever consider

The first season could have been better, but it has great production values and as far as I can tell they see it as an investment and they are not going to cancel it soon. So for now I'm optimistic about a second season.

At least in Germany I can find a streaming source via justwatch.com for most movies that I want to watch. Often they are included in one of the flatrate offerings, but the vast majority of classics are available to rent from Amazon and Appl

Compared to competitors, Apple TV+ currently appear to put much more emphasis on quality over quantity in their original content. I really enjoyed some shows like Severance, For All Mankind, Trying, Acapulco, Foundation. It reminds me of th

Ah, that's true, thanks. It's the same type of NVLink as on the A40 GPU. https://images.nvidia.com/content/Solutions/data-center/a40/...

Market segmentation. Back when the Pascal architecture was the latest thing, it didn't make much sense to buy expensive Tesla P100 GPUs for many professional applications when consumer GeForce 1080 Ti cards gave you much more bang for

You can, for instance, connect two RTX 3090 with an NVLink bridge. That gives you 48 GB in total. The 4090 doesn't support NVLink anymore.

The two cards show as two distinct GPUs to the host, connected via NVLink. Unification / load balancing happens via software.

You can also join a pair of regular PCIe H100 GPUs with an NVLink bridge. So that topology is not so new either.

That's the SXM version, used for instance in servers like the DGX. It's also faster than the PCIe variation.
