Nvidia has reported plans to sell an accelerator with Blackwell GPU that will be ideal for AI. The approximate price of the accelerator will range from $30 to 40 thousand. However, this is not yet the final decision regarding future sales, mainly because the company plans to sell a stack of processing components.
At the GTC March 20224 event, NVIDIA presented a new chip architecture Blackwell as well as B200 GPUs based on it together with Grace Blackwell GB200 chips where both architectures will be combined.
The B200 GPU has 208 billion transistors compared to 80 billion H100/H200, previously used in data centers, offering 20 petaflops of AI performance per single GPU (VS. 4 petaflops of H100). Such a chip will feature 192 GB HBM3e memory with up to 8 TBps of bandwidth.v
Web stack is a collection of various open-source soft such as programming language of the server side, operating system, database server, and web server. The most widely used stack is called LAMP. This name is a shortening for Linux, Apache server, MySQL, and PHP (in some cases it might be Python or Perl). For security reasons, the best variant is to run various network services on separate virtual machines or systems. With such a system, that is obvious that potential attackers cannot crack lots of services.
A firewall is an essential element of security for any system connected to the web. It is responsible for filtering the traffic, allowing the necessary traffic while blocking the unrelated and potentially harmful.
Last year, the frequency of Intel's desktop processor was 6.0 GHz. This year, these figures were significantly increased, and a new record was set. A new Core i9-14900KS processor with a frequency of 6.2 GHz was released, which means that at the moment it is the highest possible frequency for desktop PCs.
AMD announced a new release – a new Spartan UltraScale+ FGPA line, the successor of Spartan 6 and Spartan 7. The new Field Programmable Gate Arrays are distinguishable with high energy efficiency and affordable price, which is made possible due to the higher density provided by the 16-nanometer manufacturing process.
The transparency to the users of *nix command can be achieved with shell script wrappers. A wrapper is a shell function or shell script or an alias that contains a utility or system command.
On March 10, 2024, Linus Torvalds officially introduced Linux 6.8, which is a stable and updated version of the Linux kernel. The improvements affect the entire ecosystem and are important for users and developers in terms of performance, hardware support, and security.
The pydf (Python Disk File System) command is a command line tool for showing the amount of disk space used on a Linux-mounted filesystem. Pydf command is an alternative to “df” command: they perform the same function, but pydf shows the available disk space in different colors.
Prior to sharing some exact recommendations and steps according to utilizing NFS-shared HTML+PHP5 Files on the Apache server, let’s get a basic understanding of the Apache web server. For quite a long time Apache server was a top solution that existed online. This option was the only option for thousands if not millions of sites worldwide. It is most likely that most companies/organization has tried this solution.
