    • @Ferretsnarf

      About 10 years ago when I was in college for Electrical and Computer Engineering this is actually one of the things we were talking about. We're more or less hitting a brick wall in miniaturization and increasing the raw speed of individual components. How do we improve performance when we can't miniaturize our chips any more than we already have (At this point we're talking about transistors that are so small that you can count their width in atoms)? Well you offload tasks into different chips (TCP/IP on the network adapter and like Linus showed putting the encryption workload on the adapter). If you find there's a specific workload that you're constantly asking your general-purpose CPU to do, it might start to make sense to put that task on a specialist chip rather than putting it on your CPU.

      @@autohmae Yeah, we were talking about that at the time as well. I avoided saying it because I kind of hate talking about Moore's law online - you almost always get some kind of blowback when you talk about moore's law being dead. On the consumer side of things I could almost see why you might think moore's law isn't dead. We're not really seeing smaller+faster all that much anymore. We occasionally barely scrape by into a smaller node, but you're not really getting faster and more efficient transistors out of it anymore, instead you're mostly cramming more stuff onto the die and subsequently aiming a firehose at it to hope you cool it enough to not explode.

      @@Ferretsnarf This has happened before, and ASICs have always had a need over general purpose processors. Our reasons for stagnation in tech is more of a complex problem as opposed to exclusively being down to physics. As it is, quite a few clever people in fields of research have proposed numerous workarounds that are plausible in theory, but simply not testable at the moment and not feasible on a wide scale, especially without aggressive grant funding like in the past.
      If anything, I would say that we're actually quite lucky that AI has brought about a bit of a resurgence in potential general optimization and advancement.
      Finally, Moore's law was always more of a "loose observation" and never intended to be indefinite, with Moore himself saying that he was certain the trend would not hold for long and become irrelevant to the next abstract steps in advanced design.

    What I find amazing about ARM architecture CPU's is that the very first one was was simulated and developed by Acorn Computers on an Acorn BBC Microcomputer (which used a MOS 6502 CPU) . The original name for Advanced RISC Machine was Acorn RISC Machine. I'm happy to say as a Brit I saw the beginning of this CPU legacy and still own both my BBC Microcomputer Model B and my Acorn Archimedes A3010 (which featured an ARM250, the 2nd generation ARM CPU). There was an actual ARM upgrade system for the BBC Micro, but it was far out of anyone's league/access and was mainly used by Acorn to develop the Archimedes.

    If you only have $5,000, there are a few options with the Ampere Altra if you really must have ARM.

      Nvidia is betting that people will use Hopper and most definitely betting that people will buy their expensive ass interconnect modules. The actual performance of these chips is probably meaningless outside of the context of "shove a shit ton of DDR5 at it", much like Apple Silicon. And plus, AMD already beat Nvidia to the punch here. MI300 is CDNA3 + Zen 4 on a single package, using their Infinity Fabric (which is literally the same technology but packaged differently)
      Epyc still exists, and is impossible to actually beat because its much more versatile than these bespoke solutions. Until Arm can complete outside of the niche, we will keep hearing these arguments for years to come. Zen 4 is extremely efficient, as good as many Arm chips so x86 isn't out of the game yet

    AWS has had a similar card to the last thing you showed off since around 2017.

I assume the industry at large has had cards like that since 2015~ or even earlier, since I don't remember AWS being on the leading edge of anything in the data center space when I was working for them. xD

Amd uses x86 architecture so they need to pay intel a fixed amount of royalty fee for no reason other than using the x86 architecture that has been globally used by everyone and invested in by developers around the world. i dont think intel shuld be getting payed cus it "ownes" a globally used architecture needed in all kinds of health sectors food production companies and businesses around the world. Mostly cuz all the hard work comes from the developers who made the programs. Apple tried to exclude intel from all of this but they are no better for using arm architecture that is also licenced. we need a licencing free architecture that everyone can use only that way we will get rid of the money sucking leeching companies such as "intel". i was rooting for huawei chips but poor huawei got banned here.

    ARM - "Acorn RISC Machine - first used in 1983. The ARM company never made processors/chips themselves, but designed them in specialised CAD systems. The CAD logical design file then was converted into a physical design that could be "printed" (my term) by the "foundry" (industry jargon). Such a logical design actually facilitates simulation in software of how the processor will work. The first physical batch of ARM came back to the ARM company and they had their physical test motherboards. Set the mobo up, plug the CPU in, run tests. Overnight, one of the engineers wakes up and becomes aware there was a connection or configuration issue in the power-lines and the test should have failed. Turned out the processor needs so little power that it had run off the power leaked into the processor from I/O presented to the processor. That's why almost all CPUs in smartphones are derived from that first ARM and why Apple derived their current generation of "proprietary" Apple chips from ARM too.

      As someone who had to use MLNX Connect-X4 and 5 cards -- the software for these cards is an absolute nightmare.
      1.) Sometimes the cards would just stop working until someone physically disconnected, then reconnected the cable.
      2.) Kernel Updates in most cases will brick the drivers, causing your network adapter to stop working until you can either reinstall the old driver or install whatever updated driver is released for the new kernel.
      3.) On at least one occasion, shortly after NVIDIA bought Mellanox they decided with zero warning to change the default operating mode of the driver from IPoIB to RDMA -- with zero help / instructions on how to revert it. This one left a really bad taste in my mouth.
      4.) The Documentation is bad. NVIDIA has done a terrible job of providing even a similar level of documentation to the old Mellanox documentation. Frequently when debugging issues with these cards, I found myself looking up old Mellanox pages for ancient secrets to try and equip myself with enough knowledge to debug stupid problems.
      5.)In order to fully utilize these cards you need to operate in RDMA mode, which literally requires that your application be compatible with RDMA/Configured for it. RDMA basically lets data get piped straight from the network to your application -- completely skipping the kernel. It's intended for crazy fast low latency. But they don't really tell you that. So if you're running in IPoIB then you're basically just paying a couple hundred bucks per cable for nothing.
      6.) Networking for these things requires you run a network manager on one of your nodes, or pay crazy licensing for a network device that can support running the network manager. So it's dummy thicc easy to setup out of the box -- but it's actually quite a pain to set it up correctly.
      TL;DR -- These cards are absolute trash if you don't fully invest into utilizing them correctly, and that impacts everything from hardware to the application. The software isn't robust, and your engineers are going to HATE it. I wouldn't recommend even entertaining the idea unless you absolutely intend to build your entire application/system around the idea of using RDMA.. cause its definitely not something you can just tack on for more performance.

    Virtualization really pivoted the server market into making CPU's with massive memory requirements. Each virtual node may be okay with a small number of cores but every single virtual machine needs a lot of dedicated memory - it adds up fast. And spinning that node up and tearing it down in an acceptable period of time changed the whole network architecture datacenters. Tensorcores (AI) exacerbated the problem. And as bad as it is now - CXL is going to really do a number on it as things get more heterogeneous. Fun Fact: Windows used to run on ARM, MIPS and x86. In fact it still does on the lowly Raspberry PI (IOT) which is ARM. In the 90's the fastest Windows machine was actually an Silicon Graphics Octane Server (MIPS) with many CPU's and an interconnect design that is very similar to NVLINK. NVIDIA's acquisition of Mellanox really focused on Data Center and the necessary interconnect needed at chip level. They have been "beyond" simple GPU/Gaming for many years. The margins are much higher in the datacenter as is the refresh cycle.

I'd bet based on personal experience looking at costs of other Mellanox cards the 'average' price for the entire connect-x 7 SKU (ie all the different speed and port number options) would be in the $1500 range... the 400GbE will be expensive as, but a 100GbE or 50GbE will be less.
