💡 Technology Adoption - Logistic Curves
This article discusses the nature of technology adoption, contrasting exponential growth with logistic curves and illustrating the concept with the example of the steam engine.
Key Points:
• Technology adoption often follows an S-curve (logistic curve) rather than exponential growth.
• Technologies may reach scaling limits, even if not "stuck" or slowing down.
• Underlying technologies may change, allowing for continued progress beyond initial limits.

🤖 High-Performance Computing - DRAM Read Optimization
This article explains a technique to optimize DRAM read operations across multiple dies in a high-performance computing system.
Key Points:
• Broadcasting DRAM reads to multiple dies.
• Reduces DRAM reads from N to 1 across all N dies.
• Improves efficiency by eliminating redundant reads due to cache blocking.
🤖 High-Performance Computing - Serdes Power Consumption
This article clarifies the energy consumption characteristics of serdes-based links in high-performance computing.
Key Points:
• Serdes power should be treated as mostly static power, not dynamic.
• pj/bit quoted at full utilization, not reflective of actual usage.
• Power consumption is consistent regardless of utilization.
🤖 High-Performance Computing - Parallelism and Power Efficiency
This article discusses how large integration and wide-parallel links can improve the power efficiency of parallel processing.
Key Points:
• Constraining parallelism axes within a wide-parallel domain.
• Improves PPA (Power, Performance, Area) characteristics.
• Significant improvements in traffic characteristics.
🤖 High-Performance Computing - Network Utilization and Power Efficiency
This article summarizes the relationship between network utilization, power efficiency, and serdes-based links.
Key Points:
• Real applications don't utilize the network constantly.
• High throughput needed when the network is in the critical path.
• Serdes links' always-on nature increases actual pj/bit compared to advertised values.
💡 Startup Advice - Investor Relations
This article offers advice to founders on how to handle interactions with investors.
Key Points:
• Don't take investors' behavior personally.
• Maintain composure and grace, even in difficult situations.
• Consider refusing future investments from poorly behaving firms.
