Yes, they make a 128 core processor called the the Intel ForTron.

Yeah, the frf4g-base

I always wondered if intel or some other company made special hardware for the military or cia. Like how Lockheed Martin make aircraft for cia. Anyone know of anything like that with computer parts?

Believe it or not, but governments and secret agencies actually use fairly outdated hardware that they absolutely know to be 100% reliable, rather than jumping on the latest cutting edge tech. Considering their programs don't have to run crazy graphics or intricate GUIs, there's really no reason for them to upgrade their thinkpads from 2006.

Only thing it's good for at the moment honestly.

Sure they do, pic related.

nah lmao.

So at first I would think /most/ miltary - intelligence agencies would use common CPUs and such because the sheer popularity and mass production of them would actually be more efficient. Like you have a computer that needs to do something important, if it shits the bed then you can just swap in new standard parts everyone is using. Although these parts might be implemented in higher quality chassis, motherboards, etc.

But then if you think about that, it wouldn't really matter. If intel or whoever is producing special components for the govt, then they could probably get as many as they want and put them on shelves.

It also makes sense to do, not only because of special needs and higher quality, but security. If certain mission critical computers ran on different architecture than consumers, then it would be a security bonus in terms that people trying to exploit the system might have a harder time.

Not to mention im sure they have tons of custom made hardware designed to withstand things like EMPs or what not. At-least I hope so.
>>
>>51735785
do you seriously think they use a single computer to render their shit? and that they render on cpu?
>>
>>51735147
sauce

>>51735745
Quadros are mainly for display acceleration, and are used for running high-bit depth displays using special drivers that reduce rendering errors in CAD programs. For actual distributed compute you want GRID GPUs that have extra RAM and are better designed for rack-mount environments.

>>51735756
That I doubt, but the Russian govt. is using custom CPUs that are made locally in Russia, capable of emulating x86 for specific needs. it's all custom OS and hardware.

Outside of missile systems, the government isn't as adanced as their psyops would want you to believe. But they do take hardware level security seriously. So yes, they have custom fabs for mission critical operations.

Pixar renders on farms. Nothing special. If you had the cash, you could do it too.
>>
They use server farms with loads of GPGPU computing in them.
Using x86_64 on rendering is a waste of time.
>>
I wanted to tear my fucking eyes out during that trailer. That smirk, that GODDAMN SMIRK
>>
Their render farm is made of thousands of xeons that cost like $5000 each. And it still takes them like 15 hours to render 1 frame. Yet their stuff looks like claymation like it has looked since Toy Story 1. They obviously have too much money.
>>

Isn't some of their hardware+software still the same as it was back in the 60's?

Disney uses many PS3s to render their films.

think quantum computers generate information based of clear output.

Did you know quantum computers generate guesses which is then processed by hundreds of other systems to make the data have meaning.

Like guessing the answer with maths but at a high rate.
>>
>>51735958
Holy fuck you're dumb
>>
>>51735927
I KNOW
>>
>>51736080
There's actually a benefit to doing so too since old tech is fairly easily to tighten down on and only a very small subset of the world will know how it works let alone how to possibly break it
>>
no
they use off the shelf compute servers
retard
>>
>>51735958
Are you fucking retarded?

First off they use visualization and each system is combined with a graphics chip. Each system on a single server would have a shared resource pool for graphics processing.

VMware would make a hol for the purpose of this server needs. disney does use a lot of money towars graphics and processing. Makes senses to also use visualized measures.

Oh yeah, they DO NOT USE XEONS. They use a customized cpu infrastructure which contains something reported from 50 to 100 cores.
>>
>>51735330
No, they just use PS3s running linux.

Cell architecture is boss.

Cell was powerful for its time. Now it's just a garbage space heater. It's one reason Apple Microsoft, and Sony dropped PowerPC.
>>
>>51736080
>>51736224
NASA's control systems for most of their rockets and explorers are actually insanely old-as-the-hills: http://www.cpushack.com/space-craft-cpu.html
The most advanced CPU on the list is the MIPS R3000, the same core that powered the PlayStation 2.

In principle, the amount of processing a CPU has to do when running highly optimized assembly to do things like adjust thrust vectoring just isn't very high.
>>
>>51735330
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAD5500

Military hardware isn't usually cutting edge so much as older and reliable.
>>
>>51736330
According to game developers, the Cell is still faster than the CPU used in the PS4/Xbone for specific tasks. For those things that they excel in, PowerPC processors are still used to this day.

The PS4 hits 95c and the xbone disc tray is pathetic

95 under load? Despite your feels, that is nominal.

You mean this? http://www.pcworld.com/article/2920988/russias-homegrown-elbrus-processor-and-pc-would-be-fantastic-in-1999.html

Hard to say, I haven't seen it talked about here much, but it might already be in action where needed.
>>
>>51736552
>>51736580
Yes, 95°c is within the T-max of many processors, I'm guessing its actual limit is 105°c.

I have one of those rugged fan-less notebooks, it doesn't even think about throttling the CPU if it's under 100°C.

that's a mining rig, pretty sure.
>>
>>51736610
>>51736580
Protip: HDDs, PSUs, Blu-Ray drives and USB ports are NOT designed to operate at those temperatures.

We will start seeing PS4s cook next year, i would bet you $5k right fucking now.
>>
>>51736660
That's the cpu core temperature. Air inside the box is not getting that hot.

I've had a laptop's CPU that hot almost 24/7 for a couple years. Everything still works.

Yeah, nah, fuck off.

The xbone has a nice, big fan that does not have an annoying whine and keeps the unit an order of magnitude cooler than the PS4.
>>
>>51737144
Yeah and it was an awesome design and a well built vessel. Then they took that ship and drove it straight into an iceberg on max speed.

So why is the bunny cop friends with the scummy "fuck da police" neet fox? What's this movie about?
