Datacenters/compute should be a thing that states provide to their citizens kind of as public utility that is run only on renewables in regions where the negative externalities would not affect people (requiring a public vote with a high threshold for acceptance). with everyone getting a fair allotment for their own use (and the ability to pull it together in associations). Decisions on added infrastructure etc. would be made democratically with the locations of those data centers being comp…
I got so excited about a device I am building that I started designing the enclosure before I even wired up the circuit to see if it's something I want to use.
To be fair this is my enclosure library so 90% of the work is already done and it's just making a few adjustments.
I guess I figure I'll build the device and then test it... if I don't like it or use it I'll find some else it can do. (Or see if others want one.)
Sonnet 078 - LXXVIII
So oft have I invoked thee for my Muse,
And found such fair assistance in my verse
As every alien pen hath got my use
And under thee their poesy disperse.
Thine eyes, that taught the dumb on high to sing
And heavy ignorance aloft to fly,
Have added feathers to the learned's wing
And given grace a double majesty.
Yet be most proud of that which I compile,
Whose influence is thine, and born of thee:

Abstract: Memory dominates datacenter system cost and power. Memory expansion via Compute Express Link (CXL) is an effective way to provide additional memory at lower cost and power, but its effective use requires software-level tiering for hyperscaler workloads. Existing tiering solutions, including current Linux support, face fundamental limitations in production deployments. First, they lack multi-tenancy support, failing to handle stacked homogeneous or heterogeneous workloads. Second, limited control-plane flexibility leads to fairness violations and performance variability. Finally, insufficient observability prevents operators from diagnosing performance pathologies at scale.
We present Equilibria, an OS framework enabling fair, multi-tenant CXL tiering at datacenter scale. Equilibria provides per-container controls for memory fair-share allocation and fine-grained observability of tiered-memory usage and operations. It further enforces flexible, user-specified fairness policies through regulated promotion and demotion, and mitigates noisy-neighbor interference by suppressing thrashing.
Evaluated in a large hyperscaler fleet using production workloads and benchmarks, Equilibria helps workloads meet service level objectives (SLOs) while avoiding performance interference. It improves performance over the state-of-the-art Linux solution, TPP, by up to 52% for production workloads and 1.7x for benchmarks. All Equilibria patches have been released to the Linux community.
