If Allyn is from Intel, they need to send him more often! He was a very refreshing as a PR person that actually seems excited about the tech.

Allyn is as well spoken as a great PR rep, talking about stuff with the depth of knowledge of a senior engineer at Intel. Serious props, this was great to watch.

@Devilman666 2 года назад

Omg it's Allyn! I always loved his in depth knowledge about storage and memory and I remember this one story he told about being in a submarine and having to fix something before they got caught being somewhere they weren't supposed to be.

@robertbernecky4103 2 года назад

14:23 - In APL and J, we use memory-mapped I/O a lot. That lets us write clean, elegant algorithms that that have NO I/O, so we get superb performance and the mathematics is not hidden behind all that memory clutter. Several days of your basic database work turn into ten minutes of simple code that you can explain to your colleague when playing You Bet Your Company.

"Not worried to be losing data". Even with "persistent storage" we're doing RAID etc to provide redundancy. Are we going to do PRAM RAID now? :D

@andrewspafford9602 2 года назад

I'm gonna be straight with you Wendell. This may be the next level content on this channel. I'm getting some serious "Jay Leno's garage" vibes from this video. 1 You bring in an interesting computer 2 have a passionate conversation about it and get into the details 3 You say "Can we take it for a spin" and do something fun with it.

@nextlifeonearth 2 года назад

Would be interesting if the CPU had non volatile cache or a mirror of it so if you pull out the power cable and plug it back in it continues right where it left off in a millisecond.

@GeekProdigyGuy 2 года назад

it's impossible to have a perfect 1:1 non volatile cache, at least with current technology. L1 cache access is in the 1ns range, and registers are sub-nanosecond... they would've been written to a thousand times over before you could sync to optane pmem.

@aaronjackson1143 2 года назад

I really liked this episode. Allyn was def a treat to watch as he appears to be genuine in his love for tech nerd deep dives.

@SirCrest 2 года назад

Always great to hear from Allyn. Thanks for bringing him on for a few videos.

@TrueRegulators 2 года назад

Back in the day when Allyn was still at PCPer and reviewed the first optane products, he helped me pick optane disks as swap for plain old kvm hypervisors. It basically made our memory pool for virtualization about 3x in usable size with overcommitment in runtime state. Imagine the savings comparing optane SSDs to the same capacity of RAM... please invite him more often!

@danielsmith6834 2 года назад

The conversation about NUMA and cache migration/copying reminded me of the Extreme Black Magic involved in the SGI Altix systems I used to admin. Maintaining cache coherency across multiple rack cabinets is terrifying and amazing when you dive deep enough down the rabbit hole.

@abavariannormiepleb9470 2 года назад

Maybe a stupid question regarding client SSDs with DRAM but no powerloss protection: If you power the SSDs not just with the computer‘s PSU but use small powerbanks for 5V and 12 V, would this add functioning powerloss protection?

@jaredeh2 2 года назад

Pmem isn't a free lunch. CPU's have several levels of caches and write buffers that have the same basic role and semantics. Yes. When you write to pmem it doesn't actually get to the media unless you use the special flush instructions. So you end up doing the exact same crazy stuff done for filesystems for you pmem where you write unsynced and then flush at critical checkpoints. In that respect it's the same as even the client SSDs.

@malventano 2 года назад

This is all taken care of with App Direct mode + DAX. No extra flushes necessary. Things have come a long way over the past couple of years.

@jaredeh2 2 года назад

@@malventano First off, that was a fun video. Sorry if I came off like I suggesting it's not a solved problem, that wasn't my intent. My point is that it is solved, exactly like dealing with buffered drives is a solved problem. Same reasons for having buffers, causing the same problems, leading to the same solutions. I co-wrote a patent for a phase change memory in a DIMM in 2009 so I'm a fan of the concept. Nevertheless, I've long thought pmem advocates do a disservice to the cause by running with talking points that bury the lede. Pmem shines plenty in low latency and small operations, no reason to pick fights you can't easily win. Saying pmem is better because it doesn't buffer data, is just inaccurate and frankly unnecessary. Integration of pmem tech into SW stacks is hard, the ecosystem has made it more accessible, but the point is it can be well worth the effort.

Does this break the Von Neumann architecture requiring different compilers as storage is really memory and data? Couldn't your data and instruction memory be the same thing? Just curious likely I am not understanding it.

@tshev 2 года назад

Why do you need this kind of a server? It is useless for OLAP because 4TB is almost nothing in terms of disk space. It might be a valid platform choice for a search engine, in-memory queue or an OLTP workload, but why do you need these servers unless they are not so expensive? It feels like you still need checksums because even ECC memory fails when you have 100k machines.

Sadly, I think it's time to pull the plug on this channel. Between the recent video discussing the pope and pets to this one talking about hardware fantasies at a time when I cannot get mainstream memory, I don't see the relevance of the channel anymore. I'm not even sure who this channel is for anymore and I've been in IT since the 70s. Best of luck in the future.
