Hard Drives Are NOT All The Same

Not sure if you guys have covered this already, but you should do a Techquickie explaining exactly what Cuda cores are.

[@jimemmonstein847]

@@potato_x69 cuda you explain that better

[@infernaldaedra]

to be put most simply it's Nvidia Shader Pipline optimizations for Single Precision applications using the CUDA API. It's a Nvidia naming thing for their brand of shader pipeline. It's not actually a core or a processor as CUDA is a API that runs instruction sets through the cuda "core" essentially it is a program that gives the GPU shader pipeline optimized instructions for better parellel computing tasks. IMO it is basically next level software trickery as the definition of a "CUDA CORE" isn't set in stone it changes over time generation to generation to be what Nvidia decides it is. And it isn't a core or processor as it is too simple, shader or pixel engines are designed to fed instructions and can't figure out anything on their own like a CPU which has it's own set of instructions, Cache, I/O, ability to Encode and Decode. The cud core is mainly just the pipeline aspect of the chip which is something that is always changing in CPU and GPU design, even now We have Cuda(single precision) Tensor(Mixed Precision) and RTX(???I actually barely understand what these are supposed to do but I assume it's some level of half-precision for specific instructions related to collision detection and minimizing the number of instructions to render semi-accurate ray reflection points. ) so Nvidia design of late is to have multiple different optimizations of pipelines in the same chip.

[@jonawhite17]

They're floating-point/integer execution units which can execute up to two multiplication/addition instructions per clock cycle. While CPU cores are effectively independent processors existing on the same chip, CUDA cores lack features that would allow them to work independently. CUDA cores are grouped together in streaming multiprocessors, which schedule instructions on CUDA cores (as well as other, more-specialized execution units) in batches of 32, which NVIDIA calls "warps." The number of CUDA cores per streaming multiprocessor varies from generation to generation, but Turing has 64 CUDA cores per SM. Streaming multiprocessors are further grouped into texture processing clusters (TPCs), which are then grouped along with a raster engine into a graphics processing cluster (GPC). It is the GPC that is able to act as an independent GPU, in the way that CPU cores are each able to act as independent CPUs. The Turing TU102 GPU (Quadro RTX 6000) has six independent GPCs on its GPU die.

Spinning disks are actually really good at 24/7 workloads. Similar to falling from a skyscraper, it's not the spinning that wears it down, but on/off cycles. That's why most hard drive failures in datacenters (and home PCs) occur during hardware changes or reboots.

"Head float" is NOT "adjustable" by the drive circuitry, nor by some magic real time alteration. That float height doesn't change. The option the drive has is to park the heads off platter or at the platter hub or edge, away from the data storage zone.

Because the disk RPM affects how long it takes for the head to get to the start of the required data, seek time IS dependent on RPM. a 7200 RPM drive will always have a lower average seek time than a 5400 RPM drive (all else being equal).

I don't think this video really compared drives or gave suggestions beyond the labels drives are given. summery as I understood it: 1. don't buy the enterprise grade if you just want to put your steam library on it 2. don't buy the archival drives if you don't need to archive data 3. don't buy the surveillance drives unless the drives are being used for surveillance. These are optimized for...you guessed it...surveillance. I would have liked some comparison of drives. For me, the items of importance that SHOULD have been covered are things like power usage, performance(latency, speed, etc), reliability, price per GB, etc. For performance, comparing several "common" drives in each of the common speeds (spinning speed) and price tiers would have been nice. performance vs cache size would have also been nice to compare as well. below is some information that I have learned over the years. 1. Generally, for a decent shock proof case, the reliability of drives are about the same as the enterprise versions. See the links below www.backblaze.com/blog/2018-hard-drive-failure-rates/ www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-stats-for-q2-2018/ 2. like flash storage, not all drives rated the same speed are actually the same speed. I've personally bought several drives rated as the same speed and had very mixed results. 3. I have found Western Digital drives to be especially lower power and very reliable/fast.
