No there was HPC sku of Windows 2003 and 2008 : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2003#Windows_Compute_Cluster_Server

Microsoft earnestly tried to enter the space with a deployment system, a job scheduler and an MPI implementation. Licenses were quite cheap and they were pushing hard with free consulting and support, but it did not stick.

“Gamers Nexus, on the other hand, thinks the issue is more deep rooted and originates from a foundry-level fault.”

• The GN piece makes it very clear that this claim is not definitely true but is a line of inquiry.
• Intel statement does not definitely exclude this hypothesis, the flawed CPU might need the lower voltage to work around the flaw.
• The obvious question this article does not address is what will be the performance hit for the patched parts?

That’s a bit annoying to see GN so grossly misquoted when Steve spends half the run time of the video explaining that they are not sure of anything at this point.

They make the grace arm cpu to pair with hopper GPU instead of AMD epyc and Intel xeon in data center products. They released a first version that replace these processors in their data center offering (formerly dgx). This is the announcement of the next generation of this offering Vera-Rubin will replace Grace-Hopper.

I don’t think they have announced anything about bringing this offering to the consumer space.

I have no experience about what you are trying to achieve, but rdma and related technologies (infiniband, qlogic, sr-iov, ROCE) is not it. These are network technologies that permit high bandwidth/low latency data transfer between hosts. Most of these bypass the IP stack entirely.

Infiniband is a network stack that enable RDMA, it’s only vendor is now NVIDIA which acquired mellanox. Qlogic was another vendor, but it got acquired by Intel that tried to market it as Omnipath, but it was spinned off to Cornelis network.

Sr-iov is a way to share an infiniband card to a virtual machine on the same host.

ROCE is an implementation of the rdma software stack over ethernet instead of infiniband.

He’s not even promising that, he’s saying he “thinks” he is ahead. And he tells nothing about yields, having the greatest node is useless if you can’t deliver volume.

Bob, you know what you have to do. Remove him from Iron Man, that’s petty, useless and perfect.

Yes advertisers are only publicly insulted not sued : “Many of the largest advertisers are the greatest oppressors of your right to free speech.”

I suppose that’s meant to inspire confidence they will not be sued, only slightly bullied if they come back.
