Wendell working for the Alliance confirmed? (Sorry I've been playing too much Mass Effect) Grant edited this video! Great job :D lowell.edu/ -- More info here! ~ Editor Amber

[@timf8684]

Set up a fund Wendell! We can chip in to build more. Get the data compressed and stored in real time. And have a process machine dedicated for analysis, so projects won't load up the other machine

[@Ben-du8qd]

Level1Techs are rockstars of the tech world now in my books

[@Ricky-nq7lu]

Wendell is it possible someone could build a program like folding@home so we can help crunch the data on our home systems when not in use. I have no idea how much work is in a program like that Wendell , But wanted to bring up the idea as you never know what's possible these days unless we ask.

[@bernds6587]

As long as they don't find a Reaper lurking around a Citadel... (sorry, had to) Very nice idea for a project, thanks to AMD and Gigabyte for the sponsoring, and to L1 for their time and energy put into it (and also in the future) Two areas I am intersted in which are intersecting is very nice to see! Looking forward to see more of their work, and maybe some benchmarks/real scenarios running on it.

[@bernds6587]

@Lab Monkey If they appearantly can't spend it on food or shelter for the poor, better put it in science than on weapons, right? and not sure what Sabines work got to do with it though? Astronomy is something different than particle physics, isn't it? But thanks for the link nevertheless

[@-Simple-]

This was super interesting, man.

[@JohnW_289]

It’s always amazing to see the joy Windell has when he is able to solve a problem with such an elegant solution.

[@TheNefastor]

What do you mean, "elegant" ? He just deployed the Death Star ! Problems are fleeing left and right in abject terror of its innumerable cores :-D

[@johncnorris]

Welcome to the Earthlike planet Wendellon where your nerd-knowledge will be appreciated!

[@Marshaluranus]

you misspelled Prospero

[@CantankerousDave]

Just don’t name it Futura. (Dumb Stargate: Universe joke.)

[@Boborjan1986]

Space Engineers, No Man Sky or Elite:Dangerous? :)

[@georgemountrichas]

As an astrophysicist (and not only), I was really excited watching your video!! In particular the 1TB RAM is a dream. In autumn, I am planning to check whether is possible to upgrade my threadripper 2990WX (X399 designare EX), with 256 GB RAM from 128

[@TrueThanny]

There are 32GB unbuffered ECC DIMMs available, so you definitely can get to 256GB with eight sticks, or two per channel. At DDR-3200 speeds, too.

[@georgemountrichas]

@@TrueThanny thank you for letting me know! I was suspecting that I would be able to do it, but I appreciate a lot the confirmation!

[@Boborjan1986]

Its definitelly possible, but i have a feeling, the next coulpe of months RAM and storage prices gonna surge and go Out of Stock in most places.. Thanks Chia........

[@That_Stealth_Guy]

@@Boborjan1986 Don't drink the Koolaid over Chia and it's effect on storage prices yet... it's down almost 50% from the beginning of the month..

[@andycheese9476]

Level1Techs Its 5 year mission To explore strange new worlds To seek out new life and new civilizations To boldly go where no man has gone before and add more RAM :-)

[@charlese2833]

LOL 🌠

[@fracturedlife1393]

Loved that. Space and Computers ❤️ Definitely look forward to a part two.

[@JDowPCs]

Lowell Observatory is a very underrated visit if you're visiting AZ. I really enjoyed it.

[@Level1Techs]

Soon (tm)

[@Quarky_]

Amazing collaboration! Eagerly waiting for the follow-ups :-) PS: The Lisa Su gif made me laugh :-D, great editing :-)

[@kojack57]

Wendell, apart from being a bit mad (that's a complement in Ireland) you are a very cool and rare dude. Always a pleasure to listen and watch an absolute gentleman doing what he loves doing and sharing that love. Nice editing also.

[@arsixorus]

Wendel has never looked so crispy

[@ghastlyo9284]

Look at him go.

[@renchesandsords]

wendell looks like a chill nerd by day, but has most of the tech industry dancing in the palm of his hands by night

[@uss_liberty_incident]

Very cool to see you collaborating on this kind of project Wendell!

[@goodiezgrigis]

Wendel, GO, just GO out there, haven't see you so genuinely excited to do the janitorial duties in long time.

[@WolfbytesIT]

I see all of the experience in Stellaris has really paid off.

[@mikhonda]

My Athlon XP 2400+ served me for over a decade. Most important and influential chip i've ever owned. Now it's a prop for an intro. Love you Wendall, for the throwback and the nostalgia.

[@thenlec]

Wendell and Level1Techs, thanks for this really interesting video! I would love to see this evolve as a BOINC project so that some of us non-scientists could contribute to the search.

[@xantochroi]

I was thinking about this also , I would certainly like to contribute that way via boinc.

[@jdl3408]

Fantastic to see L1 combining their expertise with scientists to push human understanding forward.

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

9:47 I was wondering about that. His name really is Joe Llama. Incredible.

[@joe8232]

I get that a lot :)

[@playswithblades]

There's nothing more awesome and fulfilling to watch than a project made with so much love, passion and nerdiness compressed into 19 minutes.

[@HERETIC529]

If you’re having fun I’m having fun. Keep up the great content!

[@leviathanpriim3951]

Please make a how to on building out a Server(4U or 3U) why too many how to build gaming pc, need more Server build vids and initial setup/OS config. Thanks

[@johnbagley8211]

Can you imagine if all of the GPUs used for mining were being utilized for processing research data... I understand blockchain and a need for digital currency to be encrypted, but I hate how it's become this frivolous, power-sucking endeavor with no end in sight.

[@nukedathlonman]

Very much a delight seeing Wendell doing this deployment - I'm really looking forward to a follow up video! :-)

[@julesverne4339]

Naboo has an Eden rated planet, in the Goldilocks zone.

[@Faifstarr]

Never expected to see an interaction like this on youtube. Rly interesting to see the nitty gritty of how things work when frontier science meets industry.

[@amateurwizard]

God damn, this is great. I kind of wanna be the one that GPU accelerates their workload...

[@TheBackyardChemist]

I hope you can read Fortran, lmao

[@aj0413_]

Love things like this; projects like this need more support

[@jacobgamble3792]

Wow this is pretty Epyc :)

[@JamesFox1]

YES there are MANY PLANETS AND NO WE ARENT ALONE !!! btw - i have been watching a sector of the sky for well over 22 years

[@dipi71]

2:00 mmmh, planet-sized Earths, my favorite kind of Earths. ;-)

[@RoyChartier]

Research need for CPU/Storage, is unquenchable.

[@Tsiikki]

Thanks for making this possible for them, very nice to put hardware to good use.

[@joerenzetti1]

Great video I am an avid astrophotographer and I just competed my first TrueNAS server build for home media and for storing all my deep space image data. L1 has been great source of info for this project. Lowell also houses the Perkins telescope which came from the observatory I frequently volunteer and and do my own personal sessions.

[@kortaffel]

Idea for next episode: In depth analysis of what type of data is being crunched. Integer, floats? Are you compressing your data properly? is it simd'able with AVX? How would a shader in vulkan compute look like? Scientist in these folding@seti's home are pretty bad coders. On boinc they ship you complete Virtualbox VMs to crunch data, because compatibility.... There must be a way to do that more efficient

[@zencontroller]

Wendell is like a modern day wizard for Data Science... Great build, I'm sure the observatory will appreciate having that extra power!!!

I think this time you fed Wendell to many M&M’s, he’s now in Absolute Overdrive 😂

[@bsodmike]

Super awesome stuff, can't wait to see what kind of computing workloads they can end up running. Would be neat if you can include us on that journey as well.

[@nemesis851_]

The 8-bit animations were deserving of a LIKE 👍 all to themselves!

[@BRUXXUS]

As a massive technology nerd and astronomy/cosmology geek I can think of few things more amazing than this collaboration! Every time I hear about all these telescope's on-site computing needs I always wish someone like Wendell could have the chance to build a solution. :)

[@advertslaxxor]

When we're allowed to go outdoors again (not that we'd want to), It would be amazing to see a tour and follow-up :)

[@qzbnyv]

I appreciate when companies are willing to sponsor and contribute to random projects like this, knowing that it’s not an ultra-clickbait topic that’s going to get millions or views or anything like that.

[@tonyo4437]

The smile on Dr. Llamas face says it all on how he feels about this. I'm glad you were able to get sponsors to help out this nonprofit.

[@rabbirt]

two smart guys letting eachother talk about their respective fields, space and computers ... freaking n o i c e

[@ButtonPusher]

all kidding aside, this is a huge nerd power effort being harnessed in the right way, man.. thank you all for this stuff, it's great!

[@zaqueodeleon]

I love Wendelltronic 2.0, hes kicking it!

[@liaminwales]

This video is Amazing! Providing the computer to let the people do rapid iteration on there work will open new horizons in the search deep in to space. Once iteration becomes an easy option experimentation can open new options.

[@thomas4589]

I watch a lot of L1 content, but I have to admit this is my favorite video so far. I'd love to see more content like this!

[@peterjansen4826]

Why is Wendell wearing that mask while being alone at home? Is he trolling some of the viewers?

[@NannoWappi]

There is only 2 words - "GIGA EPYC" - Nice job. 👍🤣😎

[@VikingPickles]

Honestly it's surprising to me that one machine can handle all their data.

[@AndreiNeacsu]

Make sure to never install Winamp on that computer.

[@MrMcGreed]

It would be so cool to see Wendell visit the observatory! - Great video!

[@xpgx1]

Woah - that's really interesting project Wendell, thanks!

[@bgbc1]

Please someone do a comics version of dr lisa and pat gassinger in a fight haha

[@lucidnonsense942]

Wendell & AMD just massively flexed on LTT & Intel's pc makeover, well... curb stomped them tbh.

[@Camhin1]

And it's for an amazing cause.

[@nikmabc]

And it begins, Wendellnet AI confirm.

[@Brutaltronics]

wendell just built an amazing machine, flexed on us with 1TB RAM and now it's helping out in the search for earth like planets, amazing

[@TheGwarGaru]

Wendell is having so much fun. O.o

[@bgtubber]

Space exploration and massively OP hardware? Count me in! I'm looking forward to the great new discoveries made possible through this collaboration.

[@LordMustangGT93]

If im not watching tech tubers, or car tubers, I'm watching space tubers! I've learned a lot about X O plants and how they find them, so to find a tech tuber that ive been watching for years, helping the cause. that's awesome!!! Thank you! more of this! The data they go threw must be astonishing!

[@Matt_Duke]

I know that there probably a good reason for this, but why dual 32c vs single 64c? Is it related to memory bandwith?

[@Level1Techs]

Nah, good balance of clocks vs cores for the workload

[@josh580]

This channel is wayy underrated

[@Niarbeht]

7:30 someone let Wendell near the M&Ms again :P

[@graemecollis52]

Reams and reams of data? How many bytes in a ream?

[@LeeAtkinson98]

"Hey Vsauce, Wendell here"

[@dustinm4455]

This was a super interesting and informative, thanks Wendell! Hopefully you guys can find more projects to do by branching out into other areas to help solve problems like this.

[@cougarmain]

Ok that intro was epyc!

[@Heinz76Harald]

but... if you know where exactly is an 2nd earth... how does it help us if it is maybe 500.000 lightyears away.....

[@Level1Techs]

Listen... I got a lot of cores... One problem at a time :)

[@Heinz76Harald]

@@Level1Techs ya sure, i shouldnt be so pessimistic tho :D

I pointed my telescope at the sun at noon then rotated it 180* and found the first planet known to man to support life.

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

Holy crap! That's also the *only* planet known to man to support life! Keep an eye on it for us!

more of this please!

[@excitedbox5705]

Loved that intro. This video was awesome. We need more.

[@RickyBobby_USA]

What do you do with these computers after you build them? Would you consider doing a build or CPU giveaway?

[@LannisterFromDaRock]

16:16 Give me 10-20 Gbps networking and my document archiver service will bog down that server in no time. :)

[@benjamintrathen6119]

So exciting, much appreciation from New Zealand.

[@Liqtor]

You guys need compute power? BOINC is still around I think.

[@chrish1025]

Hi Level1Techs, you make a huge mistake... IT'S NOT A SERVER, that is a Compute Engine. Servers host server applications. Compute Engineers do numeric calculations to solve Science and Engineering problems. Please stop calling this a server. Thank you.

[@NH3rrm4nn]

Dude. So good. Thanks for doing what you do. Amazeballs

Lord Wendell of the EPYC Star System. ✨ ✨ 🌎 ✨ Where no threadripper had gone before. . ⭐⭐

[@M0rn1n6St4r]

This is great! But, what about developing a _distributed computing_ project like Folding[at]Home? I would be happy to volunteer my older PCs and (PS3) consoles to this endeavor. btw- Why, Wendell!?! Why did you mention Voltron??? Now I want to watch my copy of _Super Dimension Fortress: Macross._ But, it's on VHS! I don't have a working VHS player, anymore! Why!?! :-(

[@РыгорБородулин-ц1е]

Ahem, what? two 32 core cpu's can solve their problem? with just ~30k worth of hardware? You could probably outpower it with a single 3080 gpu then, if algorithm could take advantage of gpu's parallelism. Are those observatories THIS underfunded?

[@gudang0garam]

Please enable video caption 🙏. I don't speak English very well
