We should not trust those things that come from outside planet Earth ...
Having designed FPGA boards with both their 7th generation parts and their Zynq UltraScale parts, the internal capacitors are such a time and cost saver in terms of being able to fan out more signals without more PCB layers
I can also attest that even relatively "slow" chips like 14 nm FinFET MPUs from Renesas have decoupling caps on the substrate
I'm looking at the newest versal chips from Xilinx/AMD for a new design and buying a SoM & designing our carrier board could fit the bill nicely. We're still very early in the design process, we need to get prices for the chips too to see if it's an idea worth pursuing.
(Offtopic note: title is editorialized unfortunately, but still important)
While the article that follows is well written, the original title feels very vague and clickbaity for me. Like "you won't guess what's wrong with this !!!".
I felt this give a much better idea of the content (technical problems that exposed people problems) and give chance to people that don't want to read about kernel politics / drama a chance to skip the article.
It will be interesting to see if commercial data centers re-fit with cooling water transport under the floor or above the machines (riskier). This will be a challenge for DCs without a lot of space under there, presumably they could boost the floor height after a door transition. Still how many of them have 20 - 40kW of power allocated per rack.
Its one of the few times I miss being at Google because they approached this sort of problem very creatively and with an effectively unlimited budget to try different things. I'm sure their data centers are very much different from my time there!
IIRC they mainly put power hungry compute nodes for the clusters in this new datacenter and I remember that servers full of GPUs had crazy power draw. The water then goes through an heat exchanger to help generate hot water to heat the campus and for the taps.
If I did, why in hells name would I tell you?
Why would you ask that in the first place? To catch out the incredibly dumb terrorists?
The mean could be a 5$ wrench, hacking into your devices or plain old surveillance
It's fair to assume Putin would try to influence the elections in trump's favor as he would have been beneficial for him.
The Ukraine invasion would have been much easier if trump had been relelected, finished pulling out of nato and kept the more isolationist policy that was in effect during trump.
IMO trump was also doing a lot of damage to the US and it's position on the world stage which is also beneficial for Putin.
You basically run the base load in your own data center and the surges go to the cloud. My university is evaluating this because sometimes you have multiple labs that need a lot of compute resources at the same time and local compute cluster has finite capacity.
