| Patrick Lloyd | But since the Versal is so new, I don't know if they have any datacenter products yet. But that's where it's going | 23:23:27 |

 bobsmith-dpi | I wonder. The leader is AI right now is nVidia. This is because its GPUs have thousands of floating point units. Since neural nets are floating point, this gives nVidia a huge advantage over Xilinx. I just don't see Xilinx as a contenter in the AI arena. Sure, they'll come up with something but I bet if you look at the bang for the buck, they are close to last. | 00:09:18 |
| bobsmith-dpi | I could be wrong about Xilinx. Their Alveu 2500 has 11.5k DSP slices. If a DSP slice is floating point then it would be competitive. | 00:11:57 |

| bobsmith-dpi | You can train a NN to use only integer coefficients. It is not as good but maybe it is good enough? | 04:50:56 |

| bobsmith-dpi | There are FIR design tools that restrict the coefficients to powers of 2. That way you can build the FIR using only adders and no multipliers. | 04:58:10 |

| Patrick Lloyd | I just went to a pretty cool talk on provisioning Yocto Linux builds for different kinds of hardware | 03:10:05 |
| Patrick Lloyd | It was about as in depth as you could expect for an hour meetup but I'll post the slides and my notes in a sec | 03:10:44 |

| Patrick Lloyd | The talk itself was loosely affiliated with the silicon valley linux users group (http://svlug.org/) which could be a cool avenue for getting members and giving talks. They specifically requested if anyone in the crowd wanted to give a talk at some future meeting, even if they weren't an expert | 03:21:39 |

| Patrick Lloyd | This article is an interesting stance on pgp and why they think it needs to die. I'm not totally convinced but I am more doubtful of it | 07:00:24 |
| Patrick Lloyd | Dang, I got another good article: https://renesd.blogspot.com/2019/09/post-modern-c-tooling.html?m=1 | 07:06:43 |
| Patrick Lloyd | Sorry for all the spam today. Lots of relevant stuff | 07:07:04 |
| bobsmith-dpi | Thanks for the links. Encrypted backups has been on my todo list for awhile. The C tools stuff was pretty useful. I'd never heard of many of them. | 21:42:36 |

| bobsmith-dpi | Not for clusters but still an interesting peer-to-peer protocol:

| Patrick Lloyd | I couldn't find the actual algorithm | 23:07:21 |
| Patrick Lloyd | But it's a pretty kewl concept | 23:07:29 |

| Patrick Lloyd | Hey bobsmith-dpi, are you still coming down to Cali to demo the jigsaw puzzle this weekend? | 20:37:13 |
