Developer terminatorul hasshareda UEFI driver to enable ReBAR (Resizable Base Address Register) on systems packingNvidia Turing architecturegraphics cards. Owners of GeForce GTX 16- and RTX 20-series GPUs were shut out from using ReBAR until now.NvStrapsReBarpatches your motherboard’s UEFI firmware to set the BAR size. It can be set to auto-configure or adjusted manually. However, frequently rewriting data to the firmware isn’t without risks. The developer explains that ReBAR is usually enabled via a vBIOS update, but an independent hack can’t work this way because Nvidia digitally signs and encrypts its graphics cards' VBIOS....

Sam Altman, chief executive officer of OpenAI, is reportedly raising funds to build semiconductor production facilities to make processors for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, reportsBloomberg. He believes that AI technologies will become pervasive enough to support their own semiconductor supply chain in the years to come. Naturally, this venture would compete against players like Intel, TSMC, and Samsung Foundry. OpenAI, which currently uses Nvidia’s A100 and H100 GPUs for its popular Chat GPT service, has been exploring ways to develop its own AI processors for a while, according toa report published in October....

Last month, it was found that Apple’sMac Mini M4had asemi-upgradable SSD, provided you knew how to solder it, blank NAND modules, and a spare Mac on hand....

GigaIO and SourceCodehave teamed up to bring the world an ultraportable but still supercomputer-class device for AI needs. The Gryf weighs 55 pounds or less and is packed into aTSA-friendly carry-onsuitcase.Despite the small form factor, Gryf can accommodate data collection and processing on a scale that would otherwise require sending the data offsite. This revolutionary development for use cases requires quick processing and analysis turnaround. Gryf is a suitcase-sized supercomputer that supports disaggregating and reaggregating its GPUs....

Command Prompt is the traditional command-line shell in Windows. It provided a way to directly communicate with an app or the operating system via the CLI, automate operations with batch (.bat) files and run scripts. PowerShell, which is currently the default command-line shell, extends on these and provides even more robust automation capability.
