@J M Infected cats only shed it once for a few weeks. And they're are inactive until 24 hours after excretion in poop. If the litter is cleaned before that, there is zero risk. Besides, you can get it from meat, fish, goat milk, and lots of other things. It is completely harmless for healthy adults (unless you're immuno-compromised, ex: HIV). And since you're already living with a cat, it isn't a problem for pregnant women either, as they need to be infected for the first time while pregnant for anything problematic. TL:DR; Overblown.

I started my computing career on System/38, the AS/400, i Series, System i etc. The hardware is way ahead of PCs. One morning we got to work and saw an IBM engineer waiting. He said iSeries had a cache failure, so it organised an engineer for itself. Cache was pulled out while it was running. The system said thank you on the console and configured itself for full speed. You get what you pay for :) Awesome.
@jjjacer2 жыл бұрын
my old Boss used to sit with the IBM engineer when they where getting data errors on the storage of the system/38 and make bets on exactly when it would fail, although that came during a time well before i worked there (i would have been in preschool at that time), when i started in the early 2000s they had the as/400 - iSeries which had been running for probably 7-8 years at the time, that thing was interesting to me and still to this day i hope to find a used one to add to my homelab/collection but the prices never go down. although the biggest thing i remember from back then was waiting 3hrs after work because i accidently knocked out power and had to wait for it to boot and display a login console on one of the 3180? terminals before i could go home (connected a large laser printer to a stupid unlabeled outlet on an extension cord that ended up being connected to the UPS the AS/400 and Novel 3.12 server where on, UPS did not like it and killed itself)

The old IBM PCs from the 80s had enormous add-in boards for memory. If I'm not mistaken, they used ISA expansion slot, which is the grandfather of PCI, and later AGP and PCIe. The memory add-in boards where taller and longer than AIB 3080s/3090s. But to be fair, these memory add-in boards are not directly comparable to DDR DIMMs. But it's fun to see how small everything have gotten.

IBM's Centaur chips were not exclusively found on massive proprietary DIMMs. The low end POWER7/8 systems had them installed on the motherboard themselves and had ordinary DIMM slots linked to each Centaur chip. It was a typical dual channel arrangement supporting up to two DIMMs per channel. That is likely why the IBM custom modules are so large as they're effective four DIMMs in one. Another note is that these DIMMs support ECC and IBM's ChipKill technologies so one DRAM chip can completely fail, be disabled by the Centaur chip and then continue operating while ECC is still maintained. I *think* those custom Centaur DIMMs could also be hot added to a fully running system. The L4 cache of the Centaur DIMM does indeed function as a cache but its contents are restricted to the information of the DIMM itself. While it does improve performance, it mainly offsets the impact of using buffered memory. Adding more DIMMs does increase performance of these POWER7/8 systems even if memory capacity is kept at a constant. IBM did release both DDR3 and DDR4 version of these DIMMs and they are interoperable. However, there two different Centaur designs to deal with the different memory types. POWER10 changes things significantly by using a common interface for multisocket communication and their memory buffers. Eight links are always dedicated to memory while an additional 8 can be used for SMP traffic or even more memory. It is pretty flexible so a single socket only system can have 16 TB of memory with a bandwidth of 2 TB/s which is very impressive. The big iron servers are only leveraging 1 TB/s of memory bandwidth and top out at 8 TB of memory per socket and upto 16 sockets in a single node. Memory sharing between nodes is also possible with the POWER10 but cache coherency is lost. 3D Xpoint memory or as it is more commonly known as from Intel as Optane, is a very interesting technology. Being byte addressable does permit it function as main memory. Intel initially was going to have Sky Lake-SP support these DIMMs but due to bugs had to disable that functionality. Similarly Intel was planning on permitting full Optane memory on its systems before requiring some DRAM to be installed. While the performance of Optane is slower than DRAM, it does permit some interesting potentials in software optimization: the full removal of the traditional storage stack as everything then becomes 'in-memory'. With enough capacity, those Optane DIMMs would double as both main memory and traditional SSD storage. This reduces operations like say loading a game into memory to zero because when you are not running that game, it is is already sitting in the Optane DIMM. Like a RAM disk but without the need for the traditional storage software layer to function.

@someguy49153 жыл бұрын
Cisco calls it NVRAM within IOS, but it usually is EEPROM or flash memory. For some reason Cisco often takes industry standard terms and re-uses them. Storing device configuration should typically only be done during re-configuration, for which flash with write speeds well into the MB/s is more than fast enough. EEPROM which has write speeds of anywhere from 100KB/s to a few MB/s is also more than fast enough for configuration data. There would be no need for NVRAM for configuration storage. In fact, in some documentation Cisco refers to the configuration file stored on flash memory as being named 'NVRAM', kind of like taking a file on your pc, renaming it 'NVRAM.jpg' and claiming that is now actual hardware NVRAM. Part of the reason I don't like Cisco; you always have to dive into the documentation to figure out what their marketing team meant when they overruled their engineers again.
