Intel 4004 CPU

[toskarin]

The specific wording of the kazu'uchi having CPUs in a setting largely without computers always struck me as weird until I found out about the F-14's CADC being arguably the first CPU, as it started being used a few years before the Intel 4004 made it to market

yeah muramasa being a story that's kind of about the development of fighter jets (albeit taken with the same liberties and aesthetics as a story about samurai) is a charming part of it

Federico Faggin: Bridging Microprocessor Innovation and Quantum Consciousness

Federico Faggin, an Italian-American physicist, engineer, inventor, and entrepreneur, demonstrated an early interest in technology, which led him to earn a degree in physics. Faggin began his career at SGS-Fairchild in Italy, where he developed the first MOS metal-gate process technology. In 1968, he moved to the United States to work at Fairchild Semiconductor, where he created the MOS silicon gate technology. In 1970, Faggin joined Intel, where he led the development of the Intel 4004. He also contributed to the development of the Intel 8008 and 8080 microprocessors. In 1974, he co-founded Zilog, where he developed the Z80 microprocessor. Faggin later became involved in other ventures, including Synaptics, where he worked on touchpad technology. Faggin's deepening interest in consciousness began during his work with artificial neural networks at Synaptics. This interest led him to explore whether it is possible to create a conscious computer, ultimately steering him towards philosophical inquiries about the nature of consciousness and reality. In 2011, Faggin founded the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation to support research into consciousness. Faggin has developed a theory of consciousness that proposes that consciousness is a quantum phenomenon, distinct and unique to each individual. His theory is influenced by two quantum physics theorems: the no-cloning theorem, which states that a pure quantum state cannot be duplicated, and Holevo's theorem, which limits the measurable information from a quantum state to one classical bit per qubit. According to Faggin, consciousness is akin to a pure quantum state—private and only minimally knowable from the outside. Faggin's perspective suggests that consciousness is not tied to the physical body, allowing for the possibility of its existence beyond physical death. He views the body as being controlled by consciousness in a "top-down" manner. This theory aligns with an idealist model of reality, where consciousness is seen as the fundamental level, and the classical physical world is merely a set of symbols representing a deeper reality. His transition reflects a broader quest to reconcile technological advancements with the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of human existence.

Short sum for newbie system designer processor steps

Here are a few beginner projects for learning the ropes of customized computation architecture design:

Pana, a '4-4-4' instruction processor derived from Intersil 6100 & GaryExplains' but for 4-bit data. Uses the sixteen (16) RISC instructions shown by GaryExplains and only four (4) of its registers (ACC, PC, LN & MQ) as per of the Intersil 6100 specification. Doing as much work onto nibbles like an MVP Intel 4004 can, great as a BCD & Nibble data converter for later designs.

Tina, a barely expanded '4-4-8' processor derived from the "Pana" design, it uses more registers by adding twelve general-use registers (A-F, U-Z letters) and operate onto a single byte of data at a time. Great for two nibbles operations, byte-wise interoperability and 8-bit word compatibility with all sorts of modern processors from the seventies-onwards.

Milan, a '6-2-24' strong hybrid 8-bit / 12-bit processor derived from the "Tina" design, operating onto three bytes or two tribbles of data at once depending of use-case, while fitting in exactly 32-bit per instruction. Aimed at computing three 8-bit units, enabling 16-bit & 24-bit compatibility as well as up to two tribble operands. A great MVP implementation step towards my next own tribble computing architecture and a competitor to the Jack educational computer as shown in the NAND2Tetris courseware book.

When I am done with such, I will be onto three tribble-oriented architectures for lower-end, middle-end and upper-end "markets". Zara being lower-end (6-bit opcode, 6-bit register & 36-bit data = 48-bit instructions), Zorua being mid-end (8-bit opcode, 8-bit register and 48-bit data = 64-bit instructions) and Zoroark being upper-end (12-bit opcode, 36-bit register and 96/144-bit data (so either eight or twelve tribble operands worth of data) = 144/192-bit instructions, aiming to emulate close enough to an open-source IBM's PowerISA clone with VLIW & hot-swap computer architecture).

By the way, I haven't forgotten about the 16^12 Utalics game consoles and overall tech market overview + history specifications, nor have I forgotten about studying + importing + tinkering around things like Microdot & Gentoo & Tilck. I simply need to keep a reminder to myself for what to do first when I shall start with the computation engineering process. Hopefully that might be interesting for you to consider as well... Farewell!

EDIT #1

Tweaked and added some additional text & considering studying various aspects of Linux and overall copyleft / open source culture engineering scene, especially over Gentoo alternative kernels & hobby / homebrew standalone operating systems (GNU Hurd, OpenIndiana, Haiku... as well as niche ones like ZealOS, Parade, SerenityOS...) as to design a couple computation ecosystems (most derived from my constructed world which takes many hints from our real-life history) and choosing one among them to focus my implementation efforts onto as the "Nucleus" hybrid modular exo-kernel + my very own package modules collection. (Still aiming to be somewhat compatible with existing software following Unix philosophy principles too as to ease the developer learning cost in initial infrastructure compatibility & overall modularized complexity; Might also use some manifestation tips & games to enrich it with imports from said constructed world if possible)

AMD EPYC 4584PX, 4484PX With 3D V-Cache & AM5 Support

AMD EPYC 4584PX and 4484PX processors, using 3D V-Cache Stacking to Double L3 Cache to 128 MB

AMD EPYC 4004 Series Processors

Data centers, supercomputers, hyperscalers, and large companies require performance and scalability. However, the AMD EPYC 4004 Series Processors target small businesses and dedicated hosting providers seeking economical entry-level server workload solutions.

These processors provide the speed, scalability, and reliability users expect from AMD EPYC while having low core counts, Thermal Design Power (TDP) as low as 65 watts, and affordable prices. This blog discusses workloads in this market segment and AMD EPYC 4004 processors’ performance benefits.

With boost rates up to 5.7 GHz, configurations ranging from 4 to 16 “Zen 4” cores over up to 2 Core Complex Dies (CCDs), and from 8 to 32 threads with Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) enabled, AMD EPYC 4004 Series Processors are a reliable option. Every AMD EPYC 4004 processor includes Gen 3 Infinity Fabric architecture, which supports up to 32 Gbps of die-to-die bandwidth, up to 192GB of DDR5-5200 RAM with ECC enabled, and up to 28 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the processor, with additional lanes available based on system vendor design specifications.

AMD EPYC 4584PX

Technical Details

Each CCD offers up to 32 MB of shared L3 cache, for a total of up to 64 MB per processor. Packages including all of these are offered at low Thermal Design Power (TDP) levels of 65 to 170 watts.

The tried-and-true AM5 socket is used by all AMD EPYC 4004 variants, providing flexible deployment choices for a range of computing requirements. AMD 3D V-Cache die stacking technology is used by the 12-core AMD EPYC 4484PX and the 16-core AMD EPYC 4584PX, doubling the maximum L3 cache to 128 MB per unit.

Only to the degree that a feature improves efficiency and performance is it beneficial. Small companies and hosting providers need strong systems that can handle demanding workloads while keeping acquisition and running costs under control. In addition to the simplified memory and I/O capabilities that discussed earlier, servers with high-performance AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs provide attractive cost-to-performance ratios across critical customer applications.

By comparing the performance and possible cost savings of 16-core 4th Gen AMD EPYC 4004 processors to those of the competition, let’s take a deeper look at the outstanding performance and value these processors provide to the market.

Utilization Examples

Broadly speaking, the AMD EPYC 4004 CPU is versatile, performant, and economical for a variety of computing workloads, from compute-intensive jobs to common business applications. Among the instances are:

General computing: Workloads including web serving, DNS administration, file sharing, printing, email hosting, messaging, CRM, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) are well handled by AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs.

Web serving and e-commerce: Applications requiring scalability and dependability, such as web serving, are especially well-suited for AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs.

Applications requiring a lot of computation: AMD EPYC 4004 processors with 16 cores and 32 SMT threads speed up compilation and can handle demanding applications.

Gaming: Even the most demanding games run very well because to the powerful “Zen4” CPUs.

Processor Price

Performance and price must be balanced by small and medium-sized enterprises, especially when choosing processors for server construction. In this context, processor costs are an important factor to take into account. Here, it will use the following to demonstrate how much more affordable AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs are than those of their rivals.

AMD EPYC 4584PX 16-core: $699, or around $43.69 per core

Intel Xeon E-2388G 8-core processor: $606 (about $75.75) per core

Intel Xeon E-2488 8-core processor: $606 (about $75.75) per core

Put otherwise, the cost of an AMD EPYC 4584PX CPU core is just around 58% that of an Intel Xeon core. These costs highlight the comparative pricing and leading performance capabilities of AMD EPYC 4004 processors, which makes them an appealing choice for small and medium-sized enterprises trying to maximize their server infrastructure expenditures.

Fundamental Leadership in Workload

Comparing a single-socket 8-core Intel Xeon E-2488 system to a single-socket 16-core AMD EPYC 4584PX system, illustrates the ~1.73x SPECrate 2017_int_rate_base performance uplift achieved by the latter. A performance gain of around 1.50x is also achieved using the identical AMD EPYC 4584PX and Intel Xeon E-2488 CPU.

Advantage of Power Efficiency

Small- to medium-sized businesses and huge data centers struggle with energy costs. The SPECpower_ssj 2008 benchmark standardizes energy efficiency evaluation of volume server-class computers.

The power efficiency of 4th-generation AMD EPYC 4004 CPUs leads SPECpower_ssj 2008. A 16-core AMD EPYC 4584PX system with ~1.81x more energy efficiency than an Intel system. Once again, the AMD EPYC 4004 CPU offers a noteworthy increase in performance per CPU dollar of around 1.57 times.

Java Server Side

The SPECjbb 2015 benchmark simulates a business IT environment that manages online activities, data mining jobs, and point-of-sale transactions in order to assess server-side Java programs. This benchmark is significant to JVM suppliers, hardware manufacturers, Java developers, researchers, and academics because of how widely used Java is. Max-jOPS, which measures maximum throughput without stringent response time restrictions, and critical-jOPS, which measures maximum throughput with reaction time limits, are the performance metrics used by SPECjbb 2015.

A single-socket 16-core AMD EPYC 4584PX system achieves ~2.59x the performance of the same Intel processor on the SPECjbb 2015 composite critical jOPS metric at a performance/CPU dollar result of up to ~2.24x, and ~2.02x the performance of a single-socket 8-core Intel Xeon E-2388G system on the SPECjbb 2015 composite max jOPS metric.

Processing Transactions for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Online transaction processing (OLTP) benchmark TPC Benchmark C describes a set of functional criteria that are common to all transaction processing systems, independent of operating system or hardware. The TPROC-C workload was developed and generated using the HammerDB benchmark tool.Image Credit To AMD

Because the results of this open-source workload do not adhere to the TPC-C Benchmark Standard, they cannot be compared to published TPC-C results. Instead, they are generated from the TPC-C Benchmark Standard. On the other hand, HammerDB TPROC-C is a useful tool for quickly evaluating the performance of database systems, contrasting databases, and system optimization.

A 16-core AMD EPYC 4584PX single-socket system is shown in Figure, delivering about 1.50x MySQL TPROC-C TPM performance and approximately 1.30x performance/CPU dollar compared to the identical Intel processor.

Processing of Media

Image Credit To AMD

The increased demand for high-quality video material has made media processing an increasingly typical edge activity. A flexible multimedia framework, FFmpeg may be used to encode, decode, transcode, stream, filter, and play back video files in a variety of historical and contemporary formats and standards. In comparison to the same Intel system, a single-socket, 16-core AMD EPYC 4584PX system can achieve average FFmpeg encode speed-ups of ~2.13x (8 jobs @ 2 threads per job), ~2.25x (4 jobs @ 4 threads per job), and ~2.45x (2 threads @ 8 cores per job) at a processor cost that is only about 15% higher.

The Weekend University / mu Podcast / Adventures in Awareness

Bernardo Kastrup, a philosopher and computer scientist, has developed intriguing perspectives on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). His approach to this subject is rooted in his broader philosophical framework of analytic idealism, which posits that reality is fundamentally mental in nature. Kastrup proposes two main theories to explain UAPs. First, he suggests that they are more likely of terrestrial rather than extraterrestrial origin. Second, drawing inspiration from Carl Jung's work, he views UFOs as psychic symbols - projections of our inner meaning onto external phenomena. In Kastrup's view, UAPs may represent a physical phenomenon with special properties, rather than mere illusions. He explores the possibility of a link between mystery and meaning, suggesting that UAPs might be filling a void in modern secular society. Furthermore, he considers the potential existence of non-human terrestrial intelligence being responsible for these phenomena.
