It's ironic that in an era where we went from needing dozens of dedicated cards to having most things handled in software, we are now going in reverse: Hardware processing things with dedicated chips or cards.

[@Ferretsnarf]

About 10 years ago when I was in college for Electrical and Computer Engineering this is actually one of the things we were talking about. We're more or less hitting a brick wall in miniaturization and increasing the raw speed of individual components. How do we improve performance when we can't miniaturize our chips any more than we already have (At this point we're talking about transistors that are so small that you can count their width in atoms)? Well you offload tasks into different chips (TCP/IP on the network adapter and like Linus showed putting the encryption workload on the adapter). If you find there's a specific workload that you're constantly asking your general-purpose CPU to do, it might start to make sense to put that task on a specialist chip rather than putting it on your CPU. ASICs are on the rise and expansion cards are coming back.

[@autohmae]

Do you remember some people were saying: the end of Moore's law ? That's what is going on here...

[@Ferretsnarf]

@@autohmae Yeah, we were talking about that at the time as well. I avoided saying it because I kind of hate talking about Moore's law online - you almost always get some kind of blowback when you talk about moore's law being dead. On the consumer side of things I could almost see why you might think moore's law isn't dead. We're not really seeing smaller+faster all that much anymore. We occasionally barely scrape by into a smaller node, but you're not really getting faster and more efficient transistors out of it anymore, instead you're mostly cramming more stuff onto the die and subsequently aiming a firehose at it to hope you cool it enough to not explode.

[@autohmae]

@@Ferretsnarf do you know why consumers with some technical knowledge don't know it's dead ? Because of the marketing with CPU node process size.

[@JustSomeDinosaurPerson]

@@Ferretsnarf This has happened before, and ASICs have always had a need over general purpose processors. Our reasons for stagnation in tech is more of a complex problem as opposed to exclusively being down to physics. As it is, quite a few clever people in fields of research have proposed numerous workarounds that are plausible in theory, but simply not testable at the moment and not feasible on a wide scale, especially without aggressive grant funding like in the past. If anything, I would say that we're actually quite lucky that AI has brought about a bit of a resurgence in potential general optimization and advancement. Finally, Moore's law was always more of a "loose observation" and never intended to be indefinite, with Moore himself saying that he was certain the trend would not hold for long and become irrelevant to the next abstract steps in advanced design.

Apple did an early version of offloading network processing to the network card. They made one model of NuBus Ethernet card which had a Motorola 68000 CPU on it and it used the A/ROSE system extension. Apple Realtime Operating System Extension. To find out what performance difference it made you'd have to dig through old issues of Macintosh magazines.

[@jpdj2715]

ARM - "Acorn RISC Machine - first used in 1983. The ARM company never made processors/chips themselves, but designed them in specialised CAD systems. The CAD logical design file then was converted into a physical design that could be "printed" (my term) by the "foundry" (industry jargon). Such a logical design actually facilitates simulation in software of how the processor will work. The first physical batch of ARM came back to the ARM company and they had their physical test motherboards. Set the mobo up, plug the CPU in, run tests. Overnight, one of the engineers wakes up and becomes aware there was a connection or configuration issue in the power-lines and the test should have failed. Turned out the processor needs so little power that it had run off the power leaked into the processor from I/O presented to the processor. That's why almost all CPUs in smartphones are derived from that first ARM and why Apple derived their current generation of "proprietary" Apple chips from ARM too.

Grace Brewster Hopper (née Murray; December 9, 1906 - January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first linkers. Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages, and the FLOW-MATIC programming language she created using this theory was later extended to create COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today.

The original name for Advanced RISC Machine was Acorn RISC Machine. I'm happy to say as a Brit I saw the beginning of this CPU legacy and still own both my BBC Microcomputer Model B and my Acorn Archimedes A3010 (which featured an ARM250, the 2nd generation ARM CPU). There was an actual ARM upgrade system for the BBC Micro, but it was far out of anyone's league/access and was mainly used by Acorn to develop the Archimedes.

Granny's Garden and Suburban Fox were two of the biggest games in my primary school :D Damn I miss the old BBC machines. Just before my computer lab went to x86 to keep up with the newest trends, we had one RISC machine with module cards. It could run as an Acorn, as a BBC, or even as a 486 (Each module card had the CPU to run that standard). I have no idea why this kind of system never made it.

Nvidia has been making CPUs for over a decade now. Tegra initially for high end tablets and now for high end (~$700-$2,500) embedded systems. And they've been making Grace for AI prototyping workstations for about 5 years (if you have a spare $25,000). If you only have $5,000, there are a few options with the Ampere Altra if you really must have ARM. The power savings are very suspect, Jeff Geerling tested and found it to not be much different than Threadripper.

Arm is no magic bullet to energy efficiency, if using arm alone would be enough to make cpus more efficient even at high power, we would only have arm cpus

[@andywolan]

Is it a true that ARM instructions are more energy efficient, but require more instructions to get the same task done than x86 instructions?

[@genderender]

Nvidia is betting that people will use Hopper and most definitely betting that people will buy their expensive ass interconnect modules. The actual performance of these chips is probably meaningless outside of the context of "shove a shit ton of DDR5 at it", much like Apple Silicon. And plus, AMD already beat Nvidia to the punch here. MI300 is CDNA3 + Zen 4 on a single package, using their Infinity Fabric (which is literally the same technology but packaged differently) Epyc still exists, and is impossible to actually beat because its much more versatile than these bespoke solutions. Until Arm can complete outside of the niche, we will keep hearing these arguments for years to come. Zen 4 is extremely efficient, as good as many Arm chips so x86 isn't out of the game yet

​@@MarkOakleyComicsOnly idiots think AI will overthrow the world. If you actually understood what AI is and how it works you wouldn't think that. It's not some magical sentient being. It's literally just mathematical models and equations used to predict future outcomes based on inputs datasets. Datasets, which need I remind you, need to come from living, active, intelligent humans. If there aren't humans producing new, creative, informative data, AI would be useless. AI is a good thing. It is simply a tool to help us simplify our work and reach our goals. It can, and hopefully will, be used to ease and remove the burden of existence from mankind, so we can truly be free to do what we want and not struggle just to survive.

It's insane only if you compare it to consumer-level hardware and software. Remember, governments all over the world have and maintain far higher tech than the public can even dream of. They secretly use this tech for military, scientific, and usually espionage purposes. We get only the bottom of the barrel. Most of the tech we use today were once government secrets. The Internet itself started as a US military defence and research project.

Seeing such insane hardware posturing to take on AI really makes me appreciate the wetware in we all own. ChatGPT's core is a roughly 800gb blob of static digital neurons, that can't change or reorganize after the training. That's just for an LLM that is still missing a lot of functionality we have when it comes to language processing... and on top of that, we're doing so many other things, all while consuming a small fraction of the power, re-trainable in real time, and being entirely portable. To fully map the input/output map of a human neuron takes either very expensive calculus or a blob of transformers 5 to 7 layers deep. We've still got a couple of orders of magnitude to go on hardware to match what a brain can do, it's not such an impossible goal now. As an aside, I find it funny that LLMs tend to be so much bigger than visual AIs like StableDiffusion. That old 'a picture is worth a thousand words' seems to be panning out more like 'a word is worth a thousand pictures'. Of course, StableDiffusion still have a lot of obvious gaps in training, while ChatGPT's flaws are more subtle, so it's not really a good comparison yet.
