My department runs several Epic servers (I think Zen 2 or 3) since a few years, hundreds of cores continously near 100%. Mostly for CI/CD, like compiling and regression testing every single Git commit. A full regression test takes a few hundred hours on a single CPU. Now it takes a few hours what took at least a week in the past. I think this became pretty normal in many companies. Given the time savings, these machines are a bargain.

@@tunkunrunk They don't and never have. It's only sheep that bought I7's instead of the I5k's back when the only difference was I7's had 'hyperthreading' and I5's didn't. The I5k was meant for gaming and ran at a higher clock speed and could be overclocked higher... but the sheep seeing higher numbers bought the I7 only to *disable* 'hyperthreading'. Single core in gaming has *always* been the main factor. Look at this way - say you're making a coffee - you have 8 long arms - sure you can get the cup out, the milk out, the teaspoon to scoop the coffee out of the jar etc all at the same time; But in the end you still need to wait for the kettle to boil. The kettle is the single core performance. Edit to add: My now old 7600K @ 5Ghz still runs every single game I throw at it - given most games are GPU bound the only thing that makes it hit 95% usage is X4: Foundations.

[@custard131]

@@tunkunrunk games are slowly being written to take advantage of more cores when available, but ye in general they are a use case that prefers a small number of fast CPU cores there are some tasks that just dont make sense to break up further, and that applies to tasks performed by cpus and tasks performed by people. take some high level task like say preparing a single meal, 1 person could do that reasonably well on their own, maybe 2 people could work together and by working on different subtasks that the same time (eg maybe 1 handles the meat while the other handles the veg) they could get the meal ready quicker, though there are some factors that cant be speed up and some overheads from having to coordinate (eg maybe there is only 1 sink so if both need it at the same time 1 has to wait) if you add a 3rd person the amount of improvement they can give is going to be even less and there will be even more contention between them and more management overhead of who is doing what eventually you get to a point where adding more people doesnt provide any benefit and only comes with the negatives that is essentially what happens when getting software to run across multiple cores too, except in some ways the problem is even worse. in the 2 people working together to prepare a meal scenario, they probably wouldnt have a recipe each that says exactly what that person should be doing, they would have a combined recipe and then they use their insticts / experience to break down which steps should be done by each computers dont have instincts, they require the programmer to explicitly break down the task and say which parts will be done by each thread and when they need to sync up for a game studio, trying to actually deliver a game it makes no sense to spend that time trying to break down the processing so it can be spread over 8/16 cores and then writing the "recipe" for exactly how that split should be done when most of the target audience dont have machines that can take advantage of that + even those that do the benefits would be negligible if they even existed where high core count cpus / large workforces can work better is when there are lots of separate tasks that dont depend much on each other eg for a webserver processing requests from thousands of users at once, each request can be processed separately or rendering graphics, the color of each pixel is calculated independantly (GPUs are very high core count processors that have been optimised to perform matrix multiplication of floaiting point values in parallel), eg an RTX 4090 has 16,000 cores that combined can perform trillions of FP multiplications per second or virtualization, look at hosting providers like AWS/GCP/Azure/DO/etc where you can click a few buttons and you have a VM in the cloud with whatever specs you want, these high core count CPUs are how they are able to offer that

Small correction from someone who does computer architecture research: The branch prediction explanation at 1:55 is inaccurate. In a modern OoO like this one, your branch predictor will easily speculate tens of branches ahead. 2-ahead branch prediction (which is what AMD has implemented) is a clever way to predict the outcomes of two blocks at a time to increase throughput of predictions, or to mask the latency of a slow predictor. Chipsandcheese has a good cursory article on this.

[@xb7778]

Can you possibly explain it in yugioh terms

[@twobagsoflactose3961]

@@xb7778 I don't remember Yugioh very well but here goes: Imagine you're trying to predict your opponents face down cards. Over the last few decades though, you and your opponent have gotten increasingly complex and you've got tons of cards lying there. When you plan your strategy, you try to think ahead: You guess what card he's most likely to play, then what card he's most likely to play after, etc. That's branch prediction. Each of these thoughts takes you a certain amount of time. 2-ahead branch prediction is where you get sort of a galaxy brain that, rather than sequentially guessing the next card, then the next card after that... guesses the two next cards, and then the third and fourth card, and so on. This is done by thinking in parallel, essentially, and increases the likelihood that you're planning ahead effectively.

[@jonathanbuzzard1376]

It all depends on whether you are compute bound or memory bandwidth bound. So 192 cores might be slower than a say even a 64 core CPU depending on what you are doing. So for example a dual socket machine with a couple of 9555's in them can be considerably faster than a 9965 and significantly cheaper. Even the older Genoa X parts with 1GB of cache are benchmarking at 95%+ the speed of Turin parts on some benchmarks.

[@clarksbrother]

@ in our particular use case it involves rendering graphics on applications that are either single or dual threaded. It won’t take advantage of all of the rest of the cores. A fast GPU is essential, but very rarely on our current systems are we actually able to take advantage of the full bandwidth of the GPU because we are CPU bottlenecked.

so hyped for ya'll revisiting many gamers 1 cpu would also be interesting to see if you could do the inverse w/ the kind of setup linus has at home, where you have a rack of multiple independent machines, but aggregate them together for server duties when people aren't using them for gaming would honestly be pretty fun if you could have a "many gamers 1cpu" setup that evenly distributes available amount of resources depending on how many people are using it, though I'd imagine this being pretty difficult to do seamlessly with standard vms without being forced to re-instantiate a whole new vm

Superb. Kudos to AMD and the Supermicro people.

[@AnotherAustin-z7b]

This stuff literally makes me so sad I'm poor and can't afford to just buy a server for running insane computations.

[@autisticcommando86]

This felt so validating on the gaming side. I used correlation to figure out gaming versus other functions when first learning PCs, and I always said that FPS didn't care about the amount of cores, but more the frequency and dual core was fine (this was back when 4.0GHz Pentium 4 HT just entered off-lease). The 'point of opportunity' I want to point out is that games like "StarCraft" and "Diablo" benefit more from multiple cores as those games run many more independent AI bots in their games versus direct 3D rendering against telemetry. I would wager Up or games relative to Spyro's format would benefit from more cores. Maybe include games that benefit from multiple cores in future testing.

[@autisticcommando86]

I may even argue that creating a multiplayer independent controller-to-USB format would be cool. What I mean for those reading is having 2 GPUs configured to output on multiple screens and creating a setup where 4 instances of say 'Fortnite' can play on a single PC with independent controller inputs allowing for a 4-player game of Fortnite on a single PC. Never seen it done before, and that would be cool.

This was definitely an interesting video to see how well a cpu meant for ai training and multi-instanced partitions is able to gaming instead of an ai workflow. If they do make a 1 cpu multiple gamer vid it would probably be best to set up multiple VMs with dynamic resource partitioning and a lot more gpus and ram. There are also server based riser cards that can hold multiple gpus they use a standard form factor

[@AlekseyVitebskiy]

As a software engineer that's dealt with massively concurrent software, I can tell you that one application would have a hard time using all those CPU cores/threads. There would be so much context switching overhead, the OS would basically just poop itself. It won't crash, but you'll get severely diminished returns. I mean my old 32-core, 64-thread 3rd gen Threadripper already struggles to scale sometimes, and I don't mean in games, mostly building C++ software, which is crazy demanding on the CPU and RAM. Just to give a point of reference: I had to upgrade my RAM to 128Gb because 2 Gb per process wasn't enough when building NVIDIA CUDA stuff. And I really do take all the CPU cores right to 100% on a semi-regular basis. I mean to the point where just moving the mouse across the screen becomes a choppy chore. This is definitely shared system territory, at least for the current software state of the art.

[@MrEShive]

yes thats what virtualization is for to segment it.

[@EugeneYunak]

eh, this heavily depends on what you are actually doing. my old build machine could use 128 threads very easily, you just need to compile a codebase that actually has enough modules. it’s also rather easy to use with any task that doesn’t require constant synchronization. think map/reduce jobs, even a single job can utilize this kind of machine easily. since it’s only 2 numa nodes, it’s even better - many more workloads can use one node without being numa-aware. so you just run two jobs with node pinning and done. this is nothing new really - sun/fujitsu servers have had 128+ cores for over 20 years, there’s a lot of workloads that can utilize it without virtualization.

[@AlekseyVitebskiy]

@@EugeneYunak Very cool. I've never dealt with map-reduce workloads in my career, so I'm not familiar with how they behave, thanks for the insight. As far as compiling, it's the CUDA compiler that really makes things difficult. It's just stupidly inefficient. Unfortunately, there's no way to that I know of to have different concurrency levels for host vs CUDA compiler, so I had to go with the stupid amount of RAM just to be able to utilize all the available threads.

[@EugeneYunak]

@@AlekseyVitebskiy interesting. i have limited experience with cuda, i didn’t know the compiler is limited like that.

[@AlekseyVitebskiy]

@@EugeneYunak Yeah, I don't know why it's like that, but it's both very slow and very memory hungry. In fact, I'm no longer able to build the latest versions of PyTorch with 64 concurrent processes, not even with 128Gb of RAM.
