    • @It_got_darK
      @It_got_darK 10 лет назад

      ***** because of the driver it would not run well as teslas actualy render each frame very very carefuly and so they render it really slow
      and the titan is not a single computer its a system made up of hundrets and thousands of computers... so interconnection is important...

    I just came from a PS3 video, and I remember it being somewhat market it as a Super Computer. The hype train. The first time ever read about it, it said that it was going to be 8 times more powerful than a PC. It was truly a great subtle marketing strategy, because at the end of the day it gets people really excited, and since they were subtle suggestions it doesn't outrage the public as the years pass by.

    • @aspade01

      Well if you'd compared that directly to the computing power of a real human brain, then not only would you be mentally deficient but also not be able to keep up with essential functions for living.
      The human brain makes any conventional cpu look like a toaster... hmmm human brain powered gaming computers...

    • @letsgoiowa
      @letsgoiowa 10 лет назад +40

      aspade01 Brains are more similar to GPUs, actually, because of thousands of fairly weak cores compared to just 2-8 large and strong ones. The raw computing power of a GPU is far superior to the human brain, but the _way_ the brain works allows us to do things that we can't figure out how to make computers do yet, and not for a lack of power. We know very little about neuroscience.

    hey linus, here are some suggestions for your next video
    a video about:
    -Chokes, diodes, capacitors, mosfets, (super) alloys & more
    OR
    -kernels(Linux, windows NT, Monolithic (UNIX' kernel) etc),
    OR
    -firmware
    OR
    -wattage, voltage, amperage, ohms & more
    OR
    -VRM, Digi VRM & Digi+ VRM (with the addition of power phases)
    OR
    -Filesystems (fat32, ntfs, ext4 etc)
    OR
    -Omron mouse switches
    OR
    -Polling rate/refresh rate of a mouse. (would be a good addition to your mice afaps)
    OR
    -Contrast ratio/QR code/Kalih, Topra & Romer G switches (this is just a worst case scenario suggestion)
    i'm not giving up until you do a video of my suggestions >__>

      Keyvan Khadem Ravandi IMO some of those topics are getting too close to computer engineering or OS theory level for Linus' average viewer... questions like "What does a kernel actually do" and "How does my filesystem work" have pretty complex answers. faculty.salina.k-state.edu/tim/ossg/index.html

    • @Thriving_in_Exile
      @Thriving_in_Exile 9 лет назад

      Keyvan Khadem Ravandi Hear hear.
      Quick note, though, Unix-like kernels are typically hybrid; they have both modular and monolithic features. Same for Windows, as I understand it.
      The stuff you're looking for gets talked about every now and again on Tek Syndicate-- I'd recommend looking them up.

    For anyone who is interested, Blue Gen is still active as the 5th strongest super computer in the world but will soon be dismantled in order to build a much stronger computer running nvidia tesla gpu and 18-core processors. At the moment it runs arch Linux and the psu will literally explode in a shower of molten aluminum melting through the system. So the computer must be active so try solving every sudoku in the universe. My source for this info is a friend working at argonne

      well ya exactly, most super computers (pretty much all of them actually) run on a version of Linux that as Linus said is highly customized and tailored to that super computer. What actually really makes them all Linux based is that regardless of how customized the OS at its heart and core it is still running on and using the Linux Kernel. Which the kernel in its own right is considered flipping awesome and amazing and rock solid for like ever pretty much. So that equals very very very (almost) zero downtime due to OS related errors and crashes.

    When we got our supercomputer it was the fastest in Europe and 6th in the world, but that was 2007. We now replaced it with a 64 GPU cluster as our compute needs haven't increased much but technology caught up to where we're not even in the supercomputer top 500 any more.

      really the PS3 cell processor is still pretty good as it is up there with the other IBM cell architures for CPUs just barely anyone who didnt go to a learn IBM CPU programming course didnt know how to program for it thus it was weak compareively to others.
      The same kind of CPU is still used now just again in specialized computers and will most likely not run most consumers programs as it is based on a cell architure not a x86 architure which they use totally diffneret methods to run.

    Even if supercomputers ran Windows, those Tesla GPU's are only compute cards, and as far as I know most don't actually work at all for gaming, hell most Tesla cards don't even have a display output. I don't even think these things have IGPU's, so no graphics at all.
    tl;dr Definitely No Crysis.
