I still can't get over the idea that otherwise intelligent people don't stop at the 1 gb ram per 2 tb storage (the recommended amount I've seen) and think, "Hmm, I feel like this need has more to do with the nature of my workload than the filesystem itself." :smithreddit:

Why ecc ram on a workstation?
|
# ¿ May 8, 2017 18:59 |

ECC for fun and security should totally be a thing! I'm not a stakeholder in AMD or Intel, though, so I'm resigned to pointing out that a $15-20 increase (if it is indeed that low) on ecc ram may or may not do as much net good as a spontaneous bouquet of flowers for your mother or spouse, depending on whether its just a home pc for browsing or a true critical-workload workstation.

Haven't checked in in a long rear end time, thread. I'm curious how laptop APUs on Zen2 / Zen+ /2en it's looking? Is anyone putting AMD APUs that compete with, say, budget but high value desktop cards 1050Ti in a laptop?

NewFatMike posted:A 5-30% performance hit probably puts their IPC right back at Broadwell/Ryzen levels, doesn’t it? Zen+ might close up the gap by a lot more than expected just by virtue of getting clocks up. If I've read benchmarks right, 5-10% pushes them back to Broadwell. 30%... is almost as far back as Sandy Bridge?

Do you guys freak the gently caress out like this every time an exploit on some vendor's product is found? actually I already know the answer, this isn't a question asked in good faith Point, laugh and AMD for loving up sig validation, patch in a few weeks.

x86 CPUs: The Intel/AMD Thread It's been discussed before--and if memory serves me right--with positive responses. Nobody pulled the trigger. If there are no serious objections, at 00:00 UTC Sunday 12 August 2018 (8 PM Saturday EST), AMD will acquire Intel (or something similarly improbable and official sounding) and I'll petition a mod to close the separate CPU threads.

Turns out AMD is satisfied with licensing x86, no merger will occur.

apropos man posted:Maybe we'd go through a period of PC's becoming extremely optimised for I/O etc, since that is the main area of development left as the CPU designs slow to a snail's pace. This is already where we've gone in enterprise. Because cpus haven't been improving all that much in comparison to the conpute load humanity demands of the internet, in storage alone we are: gutting protocol overhead (SATA/SAS to NVMe), eliminating the need for storage protocols altogether (3dxpoint dimms now sold as "pmem"), and making relatively-secure storage retrieval directly from network interface to block device without even going though the cpu (RDMA). Both dx12 and vulkan are minimizing the involvement of system calls. The cpu is being eliminated as a middleman where possible. Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Sep 22, 2018 |
