The biggest loss for omnisci was the in-memory limits. The highest end GPUs have 32GB, while you can find CPU servers with multiple TB. As soon as you spill out of that you take a big performance hit.

What's your source? Ampere are shipping. AMD has no fab advantage since they have no 7nm enterprise cards. Their entire enterprise line has been somewhat of a joke to date .

This? https://research.google/pubs/pub45226/ AMD already has a cuda to rocm transpiler, but their libraries are so lacking that many things cannot be converted.

There's a reason Matlab is still around and doing well. It's so much faster to prototype things in, and systems engineers all know it well. Yes, python can do most of the same things, but it's nowhere near as easy and integra

That's a claim musk made, but they already have over 500 launched without them. They should have 1000 by year-end, so it's unlikely they'll be able to use them for a couple of years.

They do not have cross-links. They were in the original public announcements, but none of the current satellites have them, nor have they announced when they would be launching some that do. It's likely years away.

I agree. Latency is much less of an issue than most people think. It's mostly about bandwidth.

Possible, yes, practical, no. In general, you want the least complexity as possible in the payload, since you can't fix it as easily as you can with ground bugs. Also, memory that's space-hardened is going to be significantly more

That simulation only takes into account the satellite delay. Fiber delay will be another 20-30ms.

Yes, I know how the modeling works. For a 100Gbps subscriber they will need to guarantee that they can achieve 100G peak speeds when nobody is using it. That means the beam the user is in always has to be illuminated with as much power as t

They have no cross-links, so up and down to space is going to happen multiple times in many cases. Second, they will not have data centers or ixps right where Google's ingress is, so it has to traverse fiber for quite a while. Someone

This doesn't say how many will be in view at any time. Since this tweet they've had suspected propulsion problems and have filed an amendment to change their orbit to a lower one.

I'm not sure if you're refuting what I said, but there is absolutely no way you will get 20ms end-to-end latency from this. Satellite propagation delay, yes, but for your ping to get to Google and back will be over 50ms.

Starlink will not cost $80 for the gigabit plan. I'd wager there won't be a gigabit plan. They need thousands of customers per 20Gbps satellite for this to even start to make sense. You cannot fit even a couple hundred 1Gbps cus

Starlink won't have higher data caps than other satellite providers. They have at most 20Gbps per satellite, and realistically, much lower. Even with a couple in view that's still far less than the existing HTS satellites.

Musk originally said this would compete with fiber and other terrestrial carriers. That's where the myth about it being lower latency than fiber started out.
