New Jeff Geerling review

Check out @geerlingguy 's new review of an Ampere Telco edge server.

There are a lot amazing stats in the video, namely 4 tera transfers/sec. We are now using Terra for this one socket device, wow.

BTW he is getting close to 1.0 M subscribers, help push him over the edge. :slight_smile:

Heh, thanks!

Maybe I could build a 1 million core supercluster for 1 million subscribers!

I will bring it up with our Marketing people. That would only be 5200 192 core machines. :slight_smile:

Anyone to answer to that comment?

Hahaha!

Just need to rent an entire warehouse to build it :smiley:

When do you hit 1M subscribers? You might need more than one server to do it! Although core counts continue to increase…

Dave.

By my estimate, if I continue along the same trajectory with subscribers as I have for a couple years, it’ll be in 2026.

Do you think a 1024 core AmpereOne SuperNova will be here by then?

Can’t comment on future product roadmaps - which for me is easy, I’m kept in the dark :slight_smile: But yeah, you’ll need at least 1,000 or 2,000 nodes - that’s quite the budget!

I responded (but probably shouldn’t have) - the V2 lowers core count and increases power envelope - it targets HPC workloads, so gives higher performance out of the box (for example, it supports SVE2, AmpereOne is still relying on NEON for SIMD), but that comes at a cost of fewer cores per socket, and higher power per core under load.
