Quote: The world's largest chip, weighing in at an unbelievable 400,000 cores, 1.2 trillion transistors, 46,225 square millimeters of silicon, and 18 GB of on-chip memory, all in one chip that is as large as an entire wafer. Add in that the chip sucks 15kW of power and features 9 PB/s of memory bandwidth:
[^] Quote: The system measures a mere 15 Rack Units tall, or roughly 26", so three can fit in a single rack. Given the performance, that's an incredibly compact package: It would take a 1,000-GPU cluster, which consumes 15 entire racks and half a megawatt of power, to match the performance of one CS-1 system. That's because a single Cerebras chip has 78 times more cores, 3,000 times more memory, and 10,000 times more memory bandwidth than a single GPU. It also has 33,000 times more bandwidth (PB/s).

I know it's big compare to normal chips but 15kW in that size package: does that include the [super] cooling?
would be a handy bitcoin miner, but nah, that's not my thing.

No, the cooling system takes another 4kW according to the article[^]

They compared its 400k cores to a GPU with 5k cores, so they are probably continuing the bad tradition of calling SIMD lanes "cores", IIRC that's something GPU vendors started (specifically nVidia and their "CUDA processors", AMD likes to call them "stream processors" which is fine I guess?). Or maybe it's even counting some more specialized component such as 8-bit multipliers (important in deep learning) or whatever, who knows, actually if someone knows please explain.
Either way it's a beastly processor, actually either way it's the same processor, I just think their marketing material is deliberately misleading about its internal organization.

"Knows" and "marketing department" isn't necessarily compatible with each other.

Article states: It's safe to assume they are the types with nearly unlimited budgets, so pricing isn't a concern.
Of course not, since it is coming from our pockets.
Those budgets (military/intelligence) should be drastically cut.

I pride myself that I don't scare too easily, with one exception:
After a recent clean install on my machine (A Dell desktop), I thought it's a good time to run Dell's update utility. It gave me the dreaded message: "Your BIOS needs updating"! I do understand a little about BIOS systems and what can happen if you write a new BIOS to the main board and the process gets interrupted or fails for any reason. In many instances you can kiss your main board goodbye!
So with trembling fingers I told Dell Update to proceed, eyes glued to the main monitor. I blush to disclose that I may even have uttered a silent prayer - my first in a long time. Things did not seem to go very smoothly. The machine must have restarted about 5 times. At this stage my nails were gone!
Finally after many minutes, the machine restarted a final time and I was greeted with the running cursor as Windows loaded. I breathed out and collapsed behind the keyboard. What a hair-raising experience!

If it works 66% of the time - well - 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

In the old days, nine out of ten program installs required a reboot (ignoring those where "installing" was nothing but copying an .exe). This carried over from DOS to the early Windows versions, and five reboots for an entire, complex update is nothing, by those standards!
It annoyed people so much that MS introduced some mechanisms that made reboots unnecessary (e.g. a program already running could continue using the old version of a DLL, while programs started after the installation would use the new version, and the old version would be flagged for deletion at the next reboot). If you wanted a "Designed for Windows 95" sticker on your product, one of the requirements was no reboot required for installation. It turned out to be too strict for some classes of software, so the requirement was later dropped.
I agree that five reboots is a little on the high side, but I do not blink over two or three. Maybe that is because I have seen far more reboots in the pre-Win95-days. (Admittedly: Rebooting DOS and early Windows was a much faster operation than rebooting a modern Windows, especially when you consider the speed of the hardware.)

Why does the word update sound like "Cookies!" to people?
Glad it worked out for you this time.

The strange part is: The old BIOS seemed to work fine since I got the machine a year ago. And: I don't see any difference with the new version. I wonder what can be different, but I assume Dell know what they're doing.

Does anyone, ever? Nowadays, these updates usually take care of rather obscure scenarios only. I'm sure Dell has a page that describes what the update is supposed to do, but I'll bet even if you read it you'd wonder why you bothered. Not that I ignore firmware updates.

Quote: Not that I ignore firmware updates.
Agreed! The update may have to do with the Safeboot safety feature where the BIOS plays a role. You don't want to possibly miss out on such important updates!

I prefer the ostrich method. Click "Update" and walk away so I don't have to witness the process!
