    Pawsey accidentally leaks specs of AMD MI-Next GPU

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 09:46 AM PDT

    This slide was shown at ISC 2021 last week, showing Pawsey intends to use AMD MI-Next GPUs for their upcoming 50 petaflop supercomputer (Setonix).

    In the slide, they mentioned that MI-Next GPUs have 128GB of VRAM / GPU.

    Edit: And by my rough calculations, each GPU should be capable of 43 tflops of FP64 compute, or roughly 4x MI-100 in FP64

    What causes sectors to be reallocated on a hard disk drive?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 06:30 PM PDT

    Since the reallocated sectors can no longer be read or written to, that information is stored somewhere, so, where does the hard disk drive save that information to?

    Is there any particular difference between Black PCBs and Green PCBs for PC components?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 10:28 AM PDT

    I have noticed many PC Components like memory modules, graphics cards and WiFi cards, that are printed with different coloured substrates,like green, black and red. Is there a particular meaning for those colours and how they should be used?

    SRAM DIMMs for main memory?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 04:22 AM PDT

    I know SRAM costs a lot more per GB than DRAM does, but given how much focus is on power draw and speed, and I'm pretty sure SRAM is innately better than DRAM at those characteristics, (due to not needing to refresh as often) why haven't there been any major pushes to fab chips that are just high-density SRAMs, put multiple of them on a PCB, and then use those PCBs as memory modules?

    Like, the only instances I can think of where a chip is basically made of pure SRAM and then added to something else are the recent AMD V-Cache, and the old Cache-On-A-Stick L2 modules. DRAM and NAND are fabbed basically by themselves all the time, but SRAM is usually included as part of a design with logic, to serve as cache.

    ...Isn't SRAM actually scaling slightly better at smaller nodes than DRAM is? I remember reading that all the major DRAMs are still "10nm class" meaning between 10nm and 20nm. While SRAM is evidently having trouble being made at denser nodes, TSMC's 5nm in particular has SRAM not being as dense as logic. It is still scaling, I thought?

    Since apparently, the processes for making DRAM and making logic are different, wouldn't things like Samsung's processing in memory make more sense with SRAM instead of DRAM, since SRAM and logic can be made on the same processes?
