@electrothecat Ай бұрын

This extra computer concept is exactly how your GPU actually works, it's essentially another computer built for a specific purpose, that interfaces through a high-speed low-latency pc bus. The only reason it doesn't have on-board storage atm, is bc the architecture is not designed to compress/decompress files or do other general tasks like the CPU can, therefore limiting what it can accomplish in the pc realm. The card shown in the video can be used to interface with your main for two reasons: 1: If the card's firmware is updated/jailbroken to act as a slave device, rather than a master device when it came out of the factory floor. 2: Intel provides drivers for the use of the card on a main machine so that it can interface and provide the main with certain functions/the ability to perform tasks on the card without incompatibilities/technical issues. Or a github repo is provided to provide drivers to use this card as a slave device to the main machine. It's interesting the level of detail provided in the video on the usefulness of this card in a main rig, and the stuff u could do with it in this use case. But i just wanted to post my take on this and what i can think of what could help expand the usefulness of this outdated tech.

While this might seem odd, it's actually a very old concept. Orange Micro, a now defunct hardware company, used to make similar cards in the early 90's for Macs as a way for them to run Windows. It was before Hypervisors were a thing.

@noth606 Ай бұрын

Several companies did this sorta thing for various platforms, I had a Mac Quadra something with a 486dx2-50 on a card in it back in the day, quite useful actually since I had limited space living in a small 1 room appartment of sorts, so I just had one monitor, mouse and keyboard, but separate PC and Mac computers combined into one thing. Hypervisors have absolutely nothing to do with it, LPAR was very much a thing. However, what it did was allow two completely different hardware architectures to coexist inside one physical computer and also exchange files to a degree, I no longer remember exactly how it worked but it was a thing. LPAR is splitting a computer system into more separate "slices" that can run separate instances of the OS to a configurable degree, without needing actually separate hardware to run the "slice" on, pretty much exactly what a bunch of people are very exited about these days as if it is a new thing, lol. The difference now is that you can do it on consumer level hardware, that's it - and that is due to address translation being supported in newer CPU's, which is a _must_ to run so called VM's which are simply a softer form of an LPAR in most ways. Edit: Realized this may not ring bells to people younger than me, LPAR is a logical partition, this has been a thing with larger computer systems for quite some time, I don't recall off the top of my head who did it first but I'm talking about stuff that was done on "professional server/large systems", so not x86, 68k, Amiga etc pedestrian overgrown pocket calculators, which in many ways is what they were back in the 80's and before, and to a degree still most of the 90's. I mean "big iron" computers, 32 and 64bit systems when most people at home had things like C64, Atari or if they were a bit more die-hard they had some Mac, PC or if they were cool an Amiga 😁

The concept of having an auxiliary/secondary processing unit is something I have been contemplating. If we could set the device to act as a slave processor instead of an individual computer, then you might be able to increase your computational workload. A GPU is basically a specialized computer designed to process objects on your screen. The key difference here, though, is that now you have a general purpose processor that can be assigned tasks while your primary CPU is occupied. Say you have a game running. Both the CPUs can share the workload of computing what's happening, relieving stress from your main chip. But then, you suddenly remember that you also need to render your video, or compile that code you have to push out. Not to worry, the main CPU can take over processing the game while the auxiliary CPU starts computing the other job. You experience no throttling, and you can effectively multitask. And if you have a system like the NUC, you also have additional RAM to pull from instead of having to share from a pool. It isolates the data and keeps the jobs separate to ensure they don't bog each other down. Throw in storage, and now your auxiliary system can operate as a completely isolated system if need be, while also under the direct control of the main board. Its like having a botnet, but without the networking (technically). Imagine the two systems doing cloud computing internally within the same system, accelerating your overall performance, having redundant systems that you can rely on (monitors tend to have two or more ports, so why not use them?), and even opening a way to have two users safely access the same drive, at the same time? Why wouldn't you want this upgrade?

One thing I didn't see mentioned in this video (I could have missed it so if I did, ignore this) is that single board PCs that you put in expansion slots is not by any means a new concept. It was more common for business / server network use in the 80s and 90s, but there were specific cards that were essentially single-board PCs with older for the sake of basically having support for older DOS applications that required a slower processor like an 8088 or a 486 depending on the use case and the hardware the card was made to work with. Since backwards compatibility is the name of the game in large-scale business computing, I imagine it was super useful having the actual hardware necessary to run some old but specifically necessary programs for certain tasks. DOS emulation and VMs weren't exactly as much of a thing during that period, so it made sense to basically slap a whole other PC into an ISA/PCI slot and use that instead. I could be misremembering, but I recall seeing a showcase of a card for the Apple II that was basically made for running programs for different 8-bit computers on it.

However with the lack of interface and the cost OFTEN not being cheap, a smaller nuc PC, and old optiplex with a cheap quadro or ARC card, OR a custom ITX build would all make more sense as a dedicated streaming PC or Low power home server.

I picked up the i7 BC are bones version of NUC 9 Extreme a few years ago for £480. I installed 64GB of RAM and a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO and I run it as a Home Server with Windows Server 2022 Data center. After I got it the price went back up to £950.

You should do a video on mapping a network drive so that Jellyfin can pull files from it. You have to mount the drives in the host OS and that isn't explained anywhere very well.

since you're not using the host pcie lanes why not use the other pcie slot which has less lanes or slower. you will end up cutting both bars on the long run... think twice cut once. personally I would have used a 1x slot or a pcie extender and mounted it to the vertical slot pcie slot in your particular case.

Probably defaults to x8 for both PCIe slots when 2 cards inserted anyway.

@user-fx5mc6bi4e Ай бұрын

@@eric4903 it doesn't work like that for the 1st slot. on atx boards with 3 slots the last 16x will auto switch from 4x or whatever to 2x2x or 1x1x1x1x when other 1x slots are used.

@user-fx5mc6bi4e Ай бұрын

@@eric4903 that's bifurcation and you either need a pcie bifurcation board and set it in bios - if you plan on using multiple pcie cards on the same slot OR use a pcie device that suports bifurcation natively asus hyperx comes to mind from 16x slot to 4x nvme

Ayo configure your Windows host to run a fake service that checks the livelyhood of the "guest" and properly terminate the service - which sends a shutdown command through ADT - when powering off and you can possibly "dual boot" xD This is super neat! Wish there was an ARM variant simply for the power draw, but this is super awesome!

@cameramaker Ай бұрын

It is a so missed opportunity to allow the NUC to operate in a PCIe-NT bridge mode, or in a device-mode. This way, one could make a pcie-pcie connection with the host.
