    A Meta Vision for GPU Scale Compute with 1PB E2 SSDs

    @Tiffany - Patrick's cannocial article is: "E1 and E3 EDSFF to Take Over from M.2 and 2.5 in SSDs" https://www.servethehome.com/e1-and-e3-edsff-to-take-over-from-m-2-and-2-5-in-ssds-kioxia/ > "... era, EDSFF is going to be what many of STH’s community will want. Instead of M.2 and 2.5″ we are...

    Looking for Feedback on Next-Gen STH Network Device Testing

    Sorry Patrick, I missed that part. Hopefully you can use the equipment both for reviews and in-house, but also charge as a service; this recovering some of your money. Leave it to Cisco to go from leader (decades ago) to the one people complain about the most. Agreed, need both the "small...

    Looking for Feedback on Next-Gen STH Network Device Testing

    Seems like posting directly on the article isn't working again, it just eats your post and nothing shows up; even without any links. --- TLDR: I think Teledyne would have been better, and you need a bigger attack / test library than 500 profiles. If you want to stick with Keysight they have...

    Microchip Adaptec SmartRAID 4300 A New Era of NVMe RAID Controller Without Drive Connectivity

    The huge performance increase (7x claimed) is excellent, and I suppose that you really should be using a UPS, but with the drives connected to the card you can have a cache that is power failure protected (and the writes are checked) which prevents disk corruption. Also there's other services...

    Largest memory bandwidth system with ddr4

    Actually, just got to sell the extra car, since it's around U$25K. Your question is (was?): Do you want instant obsolescence?, this is only U$3K: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/products/workstations/dgx-spark/ To work on the newest models you need the processor to have access to memory; and...

    New Intel E610 NICs Shown for Low Power 10Gbase-T and 2.5GbE

    Looking at the product brief: "Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter E810-XXVDA2", it uses double the wattage; but the enormous additional features that the hardware supports would certainly save a few watts of CPU power, not to mention the advantages of offloading to the NIC...

    New Intel E610 NICs Shown for Low Power 10Gbase-T and 2.5GbE

    Certainly a lot of comments on this article. > "... One series shown was its newest 10GbE and 2.5GbE NICs based on the latest Intel E610 chipset. This is a new lower-end networking solution that will bring lower power to some key markets. Intel E610 NICs Shown for Low Power 10Gbase-T and...

    Largest memory bandwidth system with ddr4

    @CyklonDX and @mtg: The Radeon Pro SSG is too old to be useful, consider an APU system; such as SuperMicro's AS -2145GH-TNMR-LCC (AS -2145GH-TNMR-LCC | 2U | A+ Server | Products | Supermicro), see: Inside the AMD Instinct MI300A's Giant Memory Subsystem . I presume that you read Michael's...

    Motherboard for dual Epyc 9965, one that actually works and fits a 5090 GPU

    The reviews that I can find are mostly run on the Volcano reference platform, for testing the CPU; and not offering a test for a complete DP workstation tower configuration. Another thing to consider is that if all you want is a huge number of fairly good cores then the Ampere CPU is one third...

    Motherboard for dual Epyc 9965, one that actually works and fits a 5090 GPU

    This E-ATX dual processor 500W MB is the only one available, best to email/phone them about that startup error: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Enterprise/Server-Motherboard/MZ73-LM2-rev-3x#Specifications

    Not Just for Oreos and Trailers AMD Helios Next-Gen AI Racks Go Double-Wide

    I don't think it's helpful to have a double wide rack at 2x the weight and 1.9x overcapacity to fix a problem with running out of space for 16 DIMMs in the next generation CPUs. Here's a 19" rack with Turin-sized CPUs. In a 19" rack we can barely fit 12 DIMMs with 2 Epycs side by side, but if...

    The Million IOPS Club Thread (Or more than 1 Million IOPS)

    True, but their comparison point (at end of the article) was that they more than double their throughput with 25% fewer servers (and had a latency of 40 µs, which is an important metric; as if you accept lower values you can crank up the IOPS quite a bit). Was really wondering if we're nearing...

    The Million IOPS Club Thread (Or more than 1 Million IOPS)

    It's amazing how long a couple of years is for computers, maybe we could use an update. YT, Rob You've probably seen this article (from 2 years later, 2018): "The new HCI industry record: 13.7 million IOPS with Windows Server 2019 and Intel Optane DC persistent memory"...

    Intel Xeon 6 High-Priority and Low-Priority Cores Explained

    You've put the sentence out of context, that not how cores are selected and it's a fact. There was nothing to have replied to that couldn't be accomplished by liking, since you've confirmed that there's nothing that you disagree with that I said. Any core can be a high priority core and there's...

    Intel Xeon 6 High-Priority and Low-Priority Cores Explained

    I'm going to go with Intel on this one. You choose which cores go on the list, cores are not: binned, sorted, pre-listed. See my link above: "Intel SST-CP allows configuring cores into priority groups with each group identified with a specific class of service level characterized by a priority...

    Intel Xeon 6 High-Priority and Low-Priority Cores Explained

    Unfortunately commenting on the article's webpage causes your comment to simply disappear (again, I think it did work once since I last mentioned this a week or two ago). It's not as helpful to post a copy of the comment here as some who read the article may not know that comments can be in two...

    Going 800Gbps at up to 1000km with the Marvell COLORZ III 800G

    For some reason I wasn't able to comment on the article in the website's comment area, it accepts the comment but doesn't post it, possibly with a message saying that it is awaiting moderation, it simply disappears. Here it is: In optics, "direct detection" simply measures the intensity of an...

    Can SATA disks work with PCIe-only MCIO

    More of a replacement for PCIe slots, without the signal integrity issues; and taking up less space on the motherboard. The 'PCIe only' MCIO ports are just that, essentially a PCIe slot (without the same power) in a new connector form; useful for EDSFF rulers, and with an appropriate cable...
