@TechTechPotato Ian, if you can pull it off, how about a conversation (of course recorded for us) with a chip-fab expert from TSMC, Intel or GF? Here what I am rather curious about. How do they go from a first iteration of a node which they consider production ready to later iterations for which the clock-frequency increases and the power (W) decreases? Same node, which refinements? Why is it so diffitcult to get there the first time but can they always get there with later iterations? What are their methods to refine it? Which parameters get tweaked? Which other innovations (more complicated tracers??) are applied? How much of this improvement is because of the fab and how much of it is because of the chip-designers (AMD, Intel, NVidia). I don't know how much you know about all of this, I imagine that this would be an interesting topic for you too.

I spoke to a TSMC expert last week, on the back of their Technology Symposium. Time available was too short to ask anything fundamental, they didn't want video, and even though I could record, I wasn't allowed to post audio. These companies are gripped fairly tight with this sort of thing. Everything has to involve layers of PR and legal analysis. They don't want anyone speaking out of turn. www.anandtech.com/show/16742/an-anandtech-interview-with-dr-kevin-zhang-and-dr-maria-marced When I actually go to Samsung Foundry/TSMC Foundry events in person, lots of detail and presentations, but no photos or recording allowed, and they go through detailed slides every 30 seconds, which aren't provided. It's a lot of dense information that they only want partners to see, but somehow press are invited, but not allowed to record. There's an official press brief that can be recorded, and slides for that are provided, but it's so limited in scope to the high level. Your best bet is for me to go through some of the research papers governing this stuff, but those can also be dense, or have a very very narrow scope.

Keller is German for basement. So Jim Keller kick-starting a basement startup has a connotation to me. But all great Silicon Valley companies started in a garage, so it's a good omen. I am studying computational linguistics and night have a chance to do a master in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science afterwards. It's fairly interesting to sound where the hardware leaders understand how the technology is going. I wanted to do EE with some semiconductor engineering initially, but didn't get to that. Perhaps I still switch as due to the pandemic I missed the student lifestyle for 1.5 years.

Oh guys you butchered Ljubisa's name from the get-go hahah. A big hi to my fellow countryman Ljubisa! Glad to see Serbian people leading powerful tech companies. We need this diversity. It's also sad we didn't hear Ljubisa's thought processes a bit more. Jim as the rockstar did most of the talking. On the technical side, I'm a bit concerned about the 2D-mesh design decision and the assumption that models won't deviate too much from the present ones. Graphcore did a better decision on that front, IMHO, by creating a general computing platform and not trying to make too many assumptions about the architectures 5, 10 years from now. How do your chips support sparse operations needed to train Graph Neural Networks efficiently?
