Just finished an end to end simulation, BGA land to ARF6 launch, of the actual SFP28 TX lane 0 pair (not the shorter pair I had been using for initial layout work).
Took a while - the final geometry would have been way too big to simulate in a sane amount of time. Sonnet estimated 113GB of RAM and 122K mesh cells which... yeah.
I *could* do it, I have half a terabyte of RAM on this workstation, but considering that a 22GB / 54K cell simulation takes ~20 minutes per frequency and …

It's been a few months and I have a lot of new followers so, periodic reminder: I make extra capacity in my home lab facilities available on a best-effort basis to support noncommercial/hobby/open source projects who would otherwise not be able to afford them.
Services are generally provided free of charge if they're not a major time/consumable commitment on my part, or on a cost-recovery basis for anything particularly large. If you're not making money from the project I w…
I really don't need a new project, but I would love a clustered and/or GPU accelerated image editor for massive images.
Something that can comfortably and performantly rotate, crop, layer stack, align, etc. images at gigapixel scale without bogging down for minutes at a time even on my big iron.
Across my lab I can harness something like 160 physical / 320 logical CPU cores, 1.3 TB of RAM, 50 GB of VRAM, and more shader cores than I feel like counting.
Everything is or…
Went shopping for weird hyphenated candies earlier.
So now I'm unloading my big ass-car full of adjust-mints, condom-mints, and replace-mints into a parp-mint.
533x speedup for a few minutes of RTL and software tweaking? I'll take it, lol.
An operation that took 16 seconds is now 30 ms
What is it with companies shipping tar.gz files that are actually tar.gz.gz (i.e. double gzipped)? this is the second one I've seen in the last few months
