    Most of the demand for data center GPUs comes from the big tech companies themselves, to develop products/services. Facebook and Twitter are both now signaling that the resources t…

    Cool. So they’ll build and operate gas turbines (or probably contract operations to do so) and then drive demand on the natgas, as well as over burden the gas delivery networks.

    This is my experience as well. I’d add that Excel didn’t kill the engineering field. It made them more effective and maybe companies will need less of them. But it also means more …

    I think many people don’t need to worry performance of reference type allocations vs value type. I don’t mean to assume you do or do not need to worry about that consideration. But…

    Could you elaborate? I don’t see anything about improving the performance of enumerator. Zlinq appears to remove the penalty of allocating enumerators on the heap to be garbage col…

    Very well explained to a lay person. Are PINNs the current state of the art in ML methods for solving PDEs? What are their limitations?

    This is my understanding as well. And the logistics of doing this can be simplified by re-using oil and gas facilities. Regardless of your feelings and levels of skepticism about o…

    In my experience units of measure in technical apps is only interesting in the UI layer as most apps I’ve worked on have a “base” system of units that all calcs are expecting. What…

    I have to admit that, as a hack, the amount of planning, technical integration, and apparently flawless execution must have required an awesome amount of effort by very intelligent…

    Already answered below, but the bulk of the market for H100’s appears to be AI. HPC was historically the largest market for this class of accelerator, but it appears to have shifte…

    From HPC industry experience with Nvidia, my take is that they are the smartest guys in the room. They’re solution architects that help customers implement and optimize CUDA area b…

    There are ML models that solve hyperbolic and parabolic PDEs pretty well right? I’m aware of some interesting full-physics simulations that are modeled to be solved with this class…

    Grapefruit stops your body from metabolizing statins. This can lead to a toxic buildup of statins. CBDs can also have this side effect. I’m not a doctor, but it seems like you’d ne…
