I was looking up some old historic information about 3DFX and I was very surprised to find that https://
quantum3d.com , a company founded to make high end simulators with 3DFX tech, is still in business, after pivoting to Nvidia!

Remote GPU Kernel Launch Capability Remains Unconfirmed
By
–
No, still not clear — you can access the memory of all of them, but nobody has yet confirmed you can launch kernels on remote GPUs.

GPU Resource Allocation: Balancing Optimization with Debugging Flexibility
By
–
A fully optimized system might wind up with persistent kernels running continuously on all GPUs, but I want the ability to debug a single process using all GPUs, as well as launch parallel experiments directly from one host without needing a cluster layer.

Grace GPU cluster kernel launch and multi-GPU operation capabilities

Can you comment on my original question — can a process on one grace CPU launch kernels and operate on all 72 GPUs, or do you need to treat it as 18 separate hosts that just happen to have great NCCL connectivity?

Skepticism on Near-Term Humanoid Robot Economic Utility
By

I am more skeptical than a lot of people in the tech space about the near term utility of humanoid robots. Long term, driven be AGI, sure, they are going to be an enormous economic engine, but business plans that have them making a dent in the next five years seem unlikely.

Remote Inference Enables Interactive Real-Time Visualization Demos

Thanks, that’s what I wanted to see — remote inference running interactively! At some point, someone is going to make a completely gratuitous demo that uses an entire datacenter to create a single awesome realtime visualization.
