Description
Description
Intel has now begun shipping its Stratix 10 FPGA board with newfound support for Intel Optane DIMMs. This system can provide FPGA systems with up to four terabytes of non-volatile storage. It also supports Intel Ultra Path Connect and PCIe connectivity. This represents a quanum leap in terms of the power of FPGA systems available to consumers. This has widespread implications in the space field and in military contracting and construction. Reliable, hardware-based stems for things like radar can be significantly improved.
The chips have a theoretical peak data transfer rate of 28 Gigabytes per second via their UPI interface in combination with compatible Xeon Scalable Processors.
The PCI-SIG compliant interface delivers a peak theoretical data transfer speed of 32 Gigabytes per second.
The device is also compatible with 100GB/s Ethernet and an ARM-Cortex-A53 processor subsystem for running peripherals.
It is also viewed as a stepping stone towards intel's goal of Computer Express Link Availability by 2021.
This interface ensures that the ARM core processor running all of the auxiliary systems of this FPGA has the capability of acting with the power of a full computer. the combination of quick hardware implementation and the integration of traditional computing makes this a formidable board.
SpaceX - Starlink Launches
SpaceX - Starlink Launches
Starlink is an ambitious project undertaken by American company SpaceX to establish a network of tens of thousands of low-orbit satellites to provide internet connection to people all over the world. So far, the International Telecommunications Union has approved 30,000 satellites and the Unites States FCC has approved 12,000. The stated goal is to begin offering coverage to people by mid-2020, and amazingly, they are on track to reach it. A network of 60 functioning satellites were ferried int orbit by the company's veteran Falcon 9 rocket. Additionally, this was the Falcon 9's 4th voyage into orbit.
Internet connection with the array was successfully established and CEO Elon Musk Tweeted about it using his Starlink terminal on October 22, 2019.
This represents a huge leap forward for the company and for internet connection as a whole. Traditionally low-bandwidth communities in the rural Unites States, Asia, and Africa. While it is not profitable or feasible to run fiber to these parts of the world, and while they lack the population to make wireless 5G deployment worth it, a satellite network can plug this connection gap. these satellites would be able to connect ot anywhere in the world with minimal cost (once they are launched). Additionally, this has the potential to help make our GPS Network even more accurate in rural areas, by providing satellite location data
