Nvidia Shows Signs in [2022]

This should be obvious but this has been my experience throughout my career. Large firms know how to both compete and collaborate with each other on different initiatives. Thankfully they’re a bit more mature than the average forum discussion.

 

NVIDIA GPUs are used by a company called GRAID to accelerate RAID controllers in RAID configurations to massive speeds, a T1000 (~1650 Turing GPU) is used in a model called SR-1010, and A2000 (~3060 Ampere GPU) is used in the SR-1010 model. The GPUs are used to bypass the CPU and accelerate IO operations, they also run a "secret sauce" AI model for more acceleration and efficiency.

The cards are 4 to 5 times faster than traditional software CPU based solutions.

What an odd product, i wish them luck. guess it might make finical sense for a vendor at a certain scale to use GPU's to do this.

 

In the past such solutions would be using a custom designed ASIC. So it's interesting to see that a GPU is considered as a good solution.

 

Nvidia poaching Intel for their Arm CPU division. This time it's Rafi Marom, lead designer of Alder lake.

Nvidia has now 3 concurrent CPU design teams in US, UK and Israel. They are finally serious about CPUs !

 

This bit amuses me.

If it's anything like their T1000 based solution, then it's just a bog standard NV graphics card and even has the display connectors. They just aren't exposed on the backplate. You could even run games on it if you wanted to.



I'm curious if they actually did go to the trouble to have a custom card made for the new product that doesn't have the display out connectors on it or if they are just using another off the shelf NV graphics card?

After almost 30 years, nvidia open sourced their kernel driver(s)... open your champagnes guys, this is huuuuge thing!!!

It will take quite a while until things start to move into mainline Linux and Mesa. But good news anyway!

 

I wonder if the Nvidia hack had something to do with this decision?

 

Hard to tell, but it's still a very tiny small amount of what is actually being released as Open Source. It does not include any of the user-space components like their libraries and the OpenGL / Vulkan / OpenCL / CUDA drivers.
