WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.440
can we can we do it like a new girl can we have like a frame and just be like

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:08.960
who's that guy it's alex

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:13.280
china has held the trophy for the world's fastest super computer for the

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:17.440
last five years but now the united states has climbed to the top once again

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:21.680
with summit an ai-powered supercomputer developed as a joint project between ibm

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:26.480
NVIDIA and oakridge national laboratories in tennessee the previous

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:34.160
champ has 93 petaflops of processing power while summit hits a staggering 200

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:35.200
petaflops meaning it can process 200

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:40.079
000 trillion calculations per second the

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.640
system includes four thousand six hundred and eight compute servers each

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:48.719
housing two power power9 cpus which use

00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:50.800
non-x86 chips designed for server and ai

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:57.920
workloads and six NVIDIA tesla v100 gpus giving it more

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:00.800
than 10 petabytes of memory that's 10

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.840
000 terabytes i haven't taken that many bytes of anything

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:07.280
in my whole life we've all had the experience of

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.640
revisiting an old game and being surprised that the graphics suck way

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:16.159
worse than we remember like star wars battlefront 2 like

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:21.680
oh but now NVIDIA is trying to keep that from

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.759
happening to future games or at least that's what their new patent

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:30.400
infinite resolution textures suggests oversampling old games to super high

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:34.079
resolutions we use today can introduce artifacts that look yucky

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:40.640
and that's because the textures used in those games were designed for a particular scale in mind the new

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.880
infinite resolution textures though use scalable vector graphics that

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:48.079
automatically adapt to the screen resolution the game is running on so i

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:54.720
guess when i'm playing rocket league on my 16k

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:56.240
720hz monitor in 2030 the graphics will

00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:58.719
suck but at least there won't be any scaling artifacts

00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:03.600
neat but not all patents are cool

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.600
google is seeking a patent that will give it broad rights over compression

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:15.040
technique that's been open source for years asymmetric numeral systems compression

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:17.200
was created by dr geroslaw duda

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.640
from the jaguar why would you do this to me james

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:23.760
university in poland who dedicated the technique to the

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.040
public domain but since the technique was introduced

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:31.520
in 2014 facebook apple and google have all

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:36.000
created software based on it and now google wants to patent one of their

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:40.160
specific applications a video encoder in this case which they say relies on

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:45.280
additional work from google engineers but duda argues that google's patent

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:50.319
just applies ans to a conventional video decoder and doesn't want to see it go

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:54.800
through unless google guarantees that the patent will become open for all to

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.800
use and pinky swears don't count you gotta spit on your head

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:01.200
i'm not spitting on my hands brothers

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:11.280
and now it's time for quick bits brought to you by question mark us what

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:15.680
oh by us not the us us ltx 2018 is the meetup and tech event

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:20.000
coming up on july 14th at the richmond olympic oval here in beautiful british

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.680
columbia meet the Linus tech tips team and participate in everything from cable

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:28.080
management challenge to a lan tournament to vr and 12k gaming stations that's

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:32.720
only a glimpse of what's on offer so come out and see us tickets are just 35

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:37.360
canadian pesos and you can buy them at ltxexpo.com

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:41.120
or in the link below quick quick quick computex is over now but there's still

00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:45.840
some stuff to be excited about in the afterglow like new prototype coolers

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:49.680
from Noctua the prototypes focus on improving either motherboard clearance

00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:53.840
to make room for that tall RGB RAM you've been eyeing or raw performance

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:58.879
with extra heat pipes and increased surface area oh and chromax coolers that

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:03.519
are going to be available in all black in case you like your pc to run in night

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:08.239
mode the first 1000 flamethrowers from elon musk's boring company made into the

00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:12.720
hands of customers on saturday this first round of units had to be picked up

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:17.040
in person at the company's hq in la while the remaining 19 000 due to

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:21.600
customs rules will be shipped with a new name on the box

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:26.639
not a flamethrower silly rules deserve silly workarounds

00:04:24.479 --> 00:04:31.680
future apple watches will be reportedly less physically clicky as these physical

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:36.240
buttons will be swapped for solid state haptic buttons all of the iphone 7's

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:40.240
home button it's unclear whether the new buttons which will be in the same

00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:44.720
configuration as before will appear on their new watches this fall or not until

00:04:42.479 --> 00:04:50.080
2019 so watch watch out yeah i hope this isn't

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.680
the ending pun ah is it yeah

00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:56.560
oh that was amazing wow oh but that wasn't

00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:00.880
the end e3 is happening now and already a bunch of sweet games have been

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:05.280
announced including halo infinite which runs on 343's new slip space engine and

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:11.520
a new gears of war game that's just called gears 5. and even a tease of

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:13.840
bethesda's elder scrolls vi aka skyrim 2

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:17.039
if you're one of those gen z kids Jake yeah Jake

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:24.120
oh and battlefield 5 is going to have a battle royale mode because

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:24.120
it's 2018

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.479
they are awesome but we only need pubg

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.919
so that's probably a good spot to end it with a broken game so thanks for

00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:39.840
watching guys be sure to hit that like button get subscribed and tune in on

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:39.840
wednesday for more linkage

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.720
yeah TechLinked
