Tech Breakdown: What Is a SuperNIC? Get the Inside Scoop!

The most recent development in the rapidly evolving digital realm is generative AI. A relatively new phrase, SuperNIC, is one of the revolutionary inventions that makes it feasible.

Describe a SuperNIC

On order to accelerate hyperscale AI workloads on Ethernet-based clouds, a new family of network accelerators called SuperNIC was created. With remote direct memory access (RDMA) over converged Ethernet (RoCE) technology, it offers extremely rapid network connectivity for GPU-to-GPU communication, with throughputs of up to 400Gb/s.

SuperNICs incorporate the following special qualities:

Ensuring that data packets are received and processed in the same sequence as they were originally delivered through high-speed packet reordering. This keeps the data flow’s sequential integrity intact.

In order to regulate and prevent congestion in AI networks, advanced congestion management uses network-aware algorithms and real-time telemetry data.

In AI cloud data centers, programmable computation on the input/output (I/O) channel facilitates network architecture adaptation and extension.

Low-profile, power-efficient architecture that effectively handles AI workloads under power-constrained budgets.

Optimization for full-stack AI, encompassing system software, communication libraries, application frameworks, networking, computing, and storage.

Recently, NVIDIA revealed the first SuperNIC in the world designed specifically for AI computing, built on the BlueField-3 networking architecture. It is a component of the NVIDIA Spectrum-X platform, which allows for smooth integration with the Ethernet switch system Spectrum-4.

The NVIDIA Spectrum-4 switch system and BlueField-3 SuperNIC work together to provide an accelerated computing fabric that is optimized for AI applications. Spectrum-X outperforms conventional Ethernet settings by continuously delivering high levels of network efficiency.

Yael Shenhav, vice president of DPU and NIC products at NVIDIA, stated, “In a world where AI is driving the next wave of technological innovation, the BlueField-3 SuperNIC is a vital cog in the machinery.” “SuperNICs are essential components for enabling the future of AI computing because they guarantee that your AI workloads are executed with efficiency and speed.”

The Changing Environment of Networking and AI

Large language models and generative AI are causing a seismic change in the area of artificial intelligence. These potent technologies have opened up new avenues and made it possible for computers to perform new functions.

GPU-accelerated computing plays a critical role in the development of AI by processing massive amounts of data, training huge AI models, and enabling real-time inference. While this increased computing capacity has created opportunities, Ethernet cloud networks have also been put to the test.

The internet’s foundational technology, traditional Ethernet, was designed to link loosely connected applications and provide wide compatibility. The complex computational requirements of contemporary AI workloads, which include quickly transferring large amounts of data, closely linked parallel processing, and unusual communication patterns all of which call for optimal network connectivity were not intended for it.

Basic network interface cards (NICs) were created with interoperability, universal data transfer, and general-purpose computing in mind. They were never intended to handle the special difficulties brought on by the high processing demands of AI applications.

The necessary characteristics and capabilities for effective data transmission, low latency, and the predictable performance required for AI activities are absent from standard NICs. In contrast, SuperNICs are designed specifically for contemporary AI workloads.

Benefits of SuperNICs in AI Computing Environments

Data processing units (DPUs) are capable of high throughput, low latency network connectivity, and many other sophisticated characteristics. DPUs have become more and more common in the field of cloud computing since its launch in 2020, mostly because of their ability to separate, speed up, and offload computation from data center hardware.

SuperNICs and DPUs both have many characteristics and functions in common, however SuperNICs are specially designed to speed up networks for artificial intelligence.

The performance of distributed AI training and inference communication flows is highly dependent on the availability of network capacity. Known for their elegant designs, SuperNICs scale better than DPUs and may provide an astounding 400Gb/s of network bandwidth per GPU.

When GPUs and SuperNICs are matched 1:1 in a system, AI workload efficiency may be greatly increased, resulting in higher productivity and better business outcomes.

SuperNICs are only intended to speed up networking for cloud computing with artificial intelligence. As a result, it uses less processing power than a DPU, which needs a lot of processing power to offload programs from a host CPU.

Less power usage results from the decreased computation needs, which is especially important in systems with up to eight SuperNICs.

One of the SuperNIC’s other unique selling points is its specialized AI networking capabilities. It provides optimal congestion control, adaptive routing, and out-of-order packet handling when tightly connected with an AI-optimized NVIDIA Spectrum-4 switch. Ethernet AI cloud settings are accelerated by these cutting-edge technologies.

Transforming cloud computing with AI

The NVIDIA BlueField-3 SuperNIC is essential for AI-ready infrastructure because of its many advantages.

Maximum efficiency for AI workloads: The BlueField-3 SuperNIC is perfect for AI workloads since it was designed specifically for network-intensive, massively parallel computing. It guarantees bottleneck-free, efficient operation of AI activities.

Performance that is consistent and predictable: The BlueField-3 SuperNIC makes sure that each job and tenant in multi-tenant data centers, where many jobs are executed concurrently, is isolated, predictable, and unaffected by other network operations.

Secure multi-tenant cloud infrastructure: Data centers that handle sensitive data place a high premium on security. High security levels are maintained by the BlueField-3 SuperNIC, allowing different tenants to cohabit with separate data and processing.

Broad network infrastructure: The BlueField-3 SuperNIC is very versatile and can be easily adjusted to meet a wide range of different network infrastructure requirements.

Wide compatibility with server manufacturers: The BlueField-3 SuperNIC integrates easily with the majority of enterprise-class servers without using an excessive amount of power in data centers.

McMurdo Internet

Internet service is supplied to Antarctica via a geostationary satellite. This far south, the satellite is only a few degrees above the horizon, and unfortunately for McMurdo, it's behind Mt Erebus. So the signal is beamed to a receiver on Black Island, about 20 miles away to the southwest, and bounced over to the sheltered alcove at the end of the Hut Point Peninsula where McMurdo sits.

The Chalet, administrative hub, with Black Island in the distance

The Black Island telecommunications infrastructure was installed in the 1980s, long before the internet we know and love today. It was upgraded in 2010 to allow more data transfer, mainly realtime weather data to feed into global forecast models. For this reason, it's probably the only place I've ever been where upload speed is remarkably faster than download speed – 60Mbps for outbound traffic, but only 20Mbps for inbound. Most regular internet use is receiving, not sending, so that's an entire base running on a connection that's only marginally faster than the average American smartphone. As you can imagine, this is somewhat limiting.

The limits to one's internet access actually begin before one even reaches the Ice. At the orientation in Christchurch, one is directed to a URL from which one must download and install a security programme from the U.S. government. It may feel like a hippie commune full of nerds, but McMurdo is an installation of the American state, and as such its computer network is a target of whatever disgruntled conspiracy theorist decides to hack The Man on any given day. Computers that are allowed onto this network (such as the one on which I am typing right now) have to have an approved firewall and antivirus service installed, then this extra programme on top of them. I am not sure what it does. For all I know the CIA is spying on me even now. (Hi, guys!) But you need to install it to get on the McMurdo Internet, such as it is, so I did.

To be honest, I was rather looking forward to a month cut off entirely from the hyperconnected world, so I was a tiny bit disappointed that quite a lot of day-to-day communication is done by email, and I would need to be on my computer a fair bit to get it. Had I known just how important email would be, I'd have installed an email client that actually downloads one's messages instead of just fetching them; as it was, the cycle of loading an email and sending the reply, even in Gmail's "HTML for slow connections" mode, took about five minutes, not counting the time it took to write. Tending one's email was a serious time commitment; sometimes I felt like I was spending more time on the computer in Antarctica than I did at home.

Crary scientists waiting, and waiting, and waiting

In a way, though, I was lucky, because I was technically a scientist and therefore had access to the one building on base with WiFi, the Crary Lab. And don't think you can just waltz into Crary with your laptop and poach the WiFi – in order to access it at all, you have to get set up by Crary IT with your own personal WiFi login. If you do not have Crary access, your portal to the Internet is one of a handful of ethernet cables in each of the dorm common rooms, or some public terminals in the main building. You can hop on, download your emails, maybe check the news or Google something you needed to look up, and then leave it for someone else. When most online time sinks are either blocked or too heavy to load, it’s amazing how little internet time you actually turn out to need.

Things that we have come to take for granted in The World are not a part of McMurdo life. Social media is pretty much out – the main platforms are bandwidth hogs even before you try to load a video or an animated GIF. There is no sharing of YouTube links, and no Netflix and chill. Someone was once sent home mid-season for trying to download a movie. Video calls with family and friends? Forget it. People do occasionally do video calls from Antarctica, often to media outlets or schools, but these have to be booked in advance so as to have the requisite bandwidth reserved. Jumping on FaceTime does not happen – not least because handheld devices have to be in airplane mode at all times for security reasons. Your phone might be secure enough for your internet banking, but not for US government internet!

It is, unavoidably, still a digital environment, it just gets by largely without internet access. Nearly everyone has an external hard drive, mostly for media that they've brought down to fill their off hours. If you want to share files you just swap hard drives, or hand over a memory stick. When the Antarctic Heritage Trust wanted some book material from me, I dropped it onto an SD card and ran it over to Scott Base on foot – a droll juxtaposition of high- and low-tech, not to mention a good excuse for a hike over The Gap on a beautiful day. It took half an hour, but was still faster than emailing it.

There is also a McMurdo Intranet, which includes a server for file sharing. Emailing someone your photos will take ages, but popping them into a folder on the I: drive and sending them a note to say you've done so (or, better yet, phoning them, or poking your head into their office) is much more efficient. To conserve space, this informal server partition is wiped every week, so you have to be quick about it, but it's an effective workaround, and also a good way to get relatively heavy resources to a large number of people in one go.

The telecommunications centre on Black Island is mostly automated, but like anything – perhaps more than some things, given the conditions – it needs to be maintained. There is a small hut out there for an equally small team of electricians and IT engineers; Black Island duty attracts the sort of person who might have been a lighthouse keeper back in the day.

Towards the end of my time on the Ice there was a spell where they needed to shut off the connection overnight, to do some necessary work. Given that most people's workdays extended at least to the shutoff time at 5:30 p.m., this meant essentially no internet for a large portion of the population, and some amusing flyers were posted up to notify everyone of the impending hardship.

Someday, faster, more accessible internet will come to Antarctica.  It's more or less unavoidable, as communications technology improves, and everyone's work – especially the scientists' – depends more and more on having a broadband connection at all times.  It will make a lot of things more convenient, and will make the long separation from friends and family much easier.  But I'm pretty sure that many more people will mourn the upgrade than celebrate it.  One can, theoretically, curtail one's internet use whenever one likes, but even before the pandemic it was almost impossible to live this way with the demands of modern life: I know from personal experience that opting out of Facebook alone can have a real detrimental effect on relationships, even with people one sees in the flesh fairly regularly, simply because everyone assumes that is how everyone else communicates.  Being in a community where no one has access to assumed channels, and is more or less cut off from the rest of the world in a pocket universe of its own, levels the playing field and brings a certain unity.  The planned (and, unarguably, necessary) updating of the physical infrastructure of McMurdo will wipe out a lot of the improvised, make-do-and-mend character of the place; how much would free and easy access to the online world change it in a less tangible way?

I'm sure the genuine Antarctic old-timers would shake their heads at the phone and email connections we have now, and say that no, this has already ruined Antarctica.  It's not Antarctica unless your only link to the outside world is a dodgy radio.  It's not Antarctica unless you only get mail once a year when the relief ship arrives.  Doubtless the shiny new McMurdo will be seen as 'the good old days' by someone, someday, too.  Change may happen slower there than elsewhere, but just like the rust on the tins at Cape Evans, it comes eventually, regardless. 

For my own part, I'm glad I got to see 'old' McMurdo, such as it was, all plywood and cheap '90s prefab.  The update will be much more efficient, and tidy, but yet another generation removed from the raw experience of the old explorers.  My generation is probably the last to remember clearly what life was like before ubiquitous broadband; to some extent, Antarctica is a sort of time capsule of that world, just as the huts are a time capsule of Edwardian frontier life.  I hope they'll find a way to hang on to the positive aspects of that. 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to waste an hour mindlessly refreshing Twitter ...

In a zonal architecture, the ECUs are categorized based on their location within the vehicle. The controller is closer to the ECUs, reducing the needed cabling, simplifying the wiring harness, and reducing harness weight by up to 50% with a corresponding reduction in vehicle weight. A zonal architecture can improve data and power distribution.

Developing time-sensitive networking (TSN) in automotive Ethernet is an enabling technology for zonal architectures. It allows efficient communication between ECUs that were in the same domain but are now separated into different zones.

A zonal architecture also supports implementing software-defined vehicle (SDV) functionality. Instead of adding new hardware (ECUs) to add new functions, SDV enables new functions to be downloaded using over-the-air updates into the powerful central vehicle controller. This enables what’s termed continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) of new vehicle functions in near real-time.

Linix-Unix-BSD Laptop Journey~~ (and some questions again)

yet another question~~ tho up to my own musings and uncertainty at this point~~

I'm too afraid to try to install FreeBSD cause I'm worried I won't be able to dig up some needed internet info and that makes me feel dumb~~ is the Domain Name not the Hostname or name of the wifi? or would it be my ISP's website or something?

I like tech but not knowing this makes me feel stupid lol even though I'm probably not~~~ and that's just anxiety lying to me~~~

also is there any point in moving from Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 to Debian 11 disks that I have burned?

the only one with the zoom feature (unless I install something if I can find it) is the Cinnamon Desktop, and at that point I see no point on dropping Mint for pure Debian in that case....

need accessibility for my blind butt (despite also being stubborn and not using it half the time anyway lol)

ALSO none of the debian live CDs that I tried saw my WIFI and idk why~~ and they're all debian 11...

might need to download newer versions and burn them to disk I guess~~

or maybe if I installed one of them anyway, and actually hooked it to ethernet, then installed updates whether it would see my wifi then? idk

found a distro that doesn't use SystemD called PCLinuxOS and thought about giving that a try, but idk if it's good for someone like me, but I got a handle sort of on fedora back in the day.

So currently stuck on linux mint debian edition cause I'm afraid to give freebsd a try due to maybe not having the network information requited and idk where to find it~~ and cause debian just straight up wouldn't see my wifi~~ tho I've also said before in this post that idk if it's a good idea or not to go from linux mint debian, to straight debian.... cause I'm going to be stuck with the Cinnamon desktop anyway~~

like yesterday I spent all morning booting into all the debian live CDs that I had; except for the standard which I think is GNOME, and none of them could even SEE my wifi or ANY wifi

now I hate that I seem like the person that just wants things to work instead of tinker w stuff to get it to work, cause that's part of the fun and frustration of being on linux I suppose~~~ and I really hope I'm smart enough to figure stuff out~~

would be happy to eventually jump to a more unix like OS cause I believe the backbone of the internet is UNIX anyway~~ :)

I like to think I'm a nerd and a techie but at the same time think I'm stupid and don't know anything~~ if I'm being brutally honest w myself~~ but I guess you got to be feeling stupid to learn huh?

tldr; and making the questions more easily found~~ my journey through linux/bsd computer systems so far, and where I'm at....

Is it worth it to install pure debian if I'm already using linux mint debian (and the wifi actually works), should I get away from SystemD and try to install PCLinuxOS? or FreeBSD? am I smart enough to install FreeBSD? What network information do I need and where can I find it?

and yet another random question at the bottom cause I remembered a linux youtube channel where they talked about a bunch of stuff way back in the 2010s I think called "Jupiter Broadcasting" what happened to them?

wanted to go eventually to FreeBSD cause it's more unix like than linux, and i think more cohesive as a whole as opposed to bits and pieces mossaic'd together in linux.... also if it is more unix based, unix as far as I'm aware is the backbone of the internet if I'm remembering correctly~~ and I'd be happy to use it~~~

so idk what I'm doing~~ lol, stay on linux mint debian cause it works? try to get FreeBSD installed, try to find out how to fix debian not seeing my WIFI (I'd hoped that if I installed it and connected it to ethernet that updates would fix that), or install PCLinuxOS that I found? cause it looks neat~~~

more history about myself~~ as dumb as it sounds, or maybe not, my dad was into tech, he'd built his first computer and if it wasn't for him pirating some version of windows, we never would've had it, lol. but ye he was a techie, and he showed me the 1995 movie "hackers". I watched that on repeat through my teenage years for some reason~~ the music was good, and now I learnt that that's not actually bow hacking works, lol it's a cheesy film.... but that sparked an interest in technology and eventually led me to finding linux to begin with. and Unix~~ cause I thought it was something that my dad and I could do together~~~ but we never did...... but the techie interest stuck~~~~ I need to rewatch that film and find the soundtrack CDs I have~~~ been a while~~~~

second guessing it am I even smart enough to run anything other than linux mint anyway? probably yes but I doubt my own intelligence, lol. especially I think anyone irl I've shown my writing to or talked to say that I'm "smart as a whip" but I don't see it.... :(

192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup: A Beginner’s Guide

The netgear extenders are widely used by many of the networking users to create a reliable network. Netgear extender devices are known for their performance and stable network. Setting up the extender device is not a daunting task if you are aware of the setup process. In this article we are going to elaborate in detail how you can perform 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup using the web. Web based setup method is the most reliable way to add the netgear extender into your existing network. Gather the important details and configure any model of netgear wireless range extender device. Scroll up the page and read the information till the last to boost up your network. 

Unboxing The Extender

Unboxing the wireless range extender is the first step of the 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup. In the box you will find an extender along with power adapter, user guide and ethernet cable (optional). You need all such items for the setup process. In addition to these items you also need host router network details, working internet connection, electric power socket, and computer/ laptop device. 

Placement 

Second step is placement of the device. Proxy placement is needed for the setup. Put the device closer as possible. Also there is no signal interface closer to the router & extender device. 

Boot Up 

Next step of the process is boot up. For booting up you have to use the power adapter you got with the extender. In case your device is a wall plug compact design device then you have to directly connect it with a wall outlet. Boot process might take around 1 to 2 minutes. Before proceeding further towards 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup using the web, wait for LED lights to stabilize. 

Connect To Extender Network

Step ahead and connect the extender device to the client device using any of the given methods:

Ethernet: Use the ethernet cord you got with the range extender and connect the extender with the client device. Inject the cord’s one end into the ethernet port of the extender and other in the client device ethernet port. Make sure the connection is secured.

Wireless: Using the wireless network of ethernet you can establish a connection. Check out the device label to know the default SSID & password. Use your client device and run a scan for available wireless networks. Enter the details and connect the devices.

Access 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup Page

Now you have to access 192.160.1.250 netgear setup page by follow the given steps:

Launch google chrome or any other similar browser. 

Thereafter, mention 192.168.1.250 IP in the URL bar. 

A new page appears where you have to provide default information. 

Enter admin and password in the fields. 

Further press login and netgear installation assistant will guide you.

Configure Extender

Once you get access to the configuration page, choose the language first and then your router’s network name. Choose next and enter the password on the screen. Further click on connect option and then next.

Secure Network

Now you have to secure the wireless network by creating an SSID & password for your extender network. Also make changes in the admin account user details. This step is important to keep your existing network secure.

Update Firmware

Afterwards, you need to look for the firmware version. In case the firmware is outdated then you should install the latest version. For installation you can opt for an online update option and follow the prompts. You can update the firmware manually also by downloading it from the official portal of netgear. 

Finalize Setup

Finalize the setup by choosing the submit button once you made all the important changes in the network. Review the changes you made to verify every step. Note down the extender security details you have created and keep them secure. Submit the changes and then you can step further to reposition the device.

Reposition The Extender

Repositioning the extender is a very important step to optimize the network performance. Unplug the extender from the proxy position. Search for a midway position (from the router and the area where the dead spot was). Then plug it in again to the power at the new position. Wait for the device to boot up and monitor the router LED on your extender device. If it’s green then the position is perfect. On the contrary if it turns amber or red then relocate it.

Test New Network

Lastly, test the new network using a wireless handset. Using the new SSID & password connect the device with the extender network and browse, stream or play online to check speed.

Conclusion

Lastly, I would like to rest my words by saying that the 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup process is a super easy task. By following the above mentioned step by step breakdown of the extender setup process, anyone can configure the extender easily without a tech expert. Setting up an extender device will boost your existing network signal strength and terminate the dead spots from your home or office area.

What is a Transceiver in a Data Center? | Fibrecross

A transceiver in a data center is a device that combines the functions of transmitting and receiving data signals, playing a critical role in the networking infrastructure. Data centers are facilities that house servers, storage systems, and networking equipment to manage and process large amounts of data. To enable communication between these devices and with external networks, transceivers are used in networking equipment such as switches, routers, and servers.

Function and Purpose

Transceivers serve as the interface between networking devices and the physical medium over which data is transmitted, such as fiber optic cables or copper cables. They convert electrical signals from the equipment into optical signals for fiber optic transmission, or they adapt signals for copper-based connections, depending on the type of transceiver and network requirements.

Types of Transceivers

In data centers, transceivers come in various forms, including:

SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable): Commonly used for 1G or 10G Ethernet connections.

QSFP (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable): Supports higher speeds like 40G or 100G, ideal for modern data centers with high bandwidth demands.

CFP (C Form-factor Pluggable): Used for very high-speed applications, such as 100G and beyond.

These pluggable modules allow flexibility, as they can be swapped or upgraded to support different speeds, protocols (e.g., Ethernet, Fibre Channel), or media types without replacing the entire networking device.

Importance in Data Centers

Transceivers are essential for establishing physical layer connectivity—the foundation of data communication in a data center. They ensure reliable, high-speed data transfer between servers, storage systems, and external networks, which is vital for applications like cloud computing, web hosting, and data processing. In modern data centers, where scalability and performance are key, transceivers are designed to meet stringent requirements for speed, reliability, and energy efficiency.

Conclusion

In summary, a transceiver in a data center is a device that transmits and receives data signals in networking equipment, enabling communication over various network connections like fiber optics or copper cables. It is a fundamental component that supports the data center’s ability to process and share information efficiently.

Regarding the second part of the query about Tumblr blogs, it appears unrelated to the concept of a transceiver in a data center and may be a mistake or a separate statement. If you meant to ask something different, please clarify!

Home Network Overhaul Episode II: Attack of the Noise

Okay, I gave up on powerline…

It's been about a year and a half since my last post, and I bit the bullet yesterday and swapped out my powerline-based network and replaced it with coax due to an increasing amount of issues that I think were caused by noise.

No one who follows me here cares about any of this type of stuff, but I'm going to talk about it anyway!

Summary

Yesterday, I replaced my pair of HomePlug powerline network bridges (from TP-Link) with a pair of MoCA coax bridges (from TRENDnet). My network speed to my bedroom (which is where I was using this) increased by literally a factor of 100. Wow!

The Issues

At some point in the past year, I noticed an abrupt drop in the speed of my HomePlug setup. At the same time, random dropouts started happening of a few minutes at a time, at least a time or two per day. The bridges don't give an indication of an issue via the LEDs when this happens, but I troubleshooted enough to identify that the link between the devices was where the issue was happening (as opposed to my switch).

I'm guessing there was a change somewhere in my building that introduced a lot of noise into the power lines, which my poor HomePlug network just couldn't handle.

What About Ethernet?

My original plan was to run Cat6 cabling through my ceiling from my living room (where the ONT is) to my bedroom. But the more I learned about my apartment, the more I realized this would be impractical. The coaxial cable that goes to my room is fastened inside the wall, so I can't fish any cable with it; plus, the walls have firestops so that makes it even more difficult.

My compromise was going to be putting a surface mount jack near the ceiling, but A) that would be so ugly, and B) I don't even think there's a straight shot for me to do that run above the ceiling without crawling through the ceiling, which I REALLY want to avoid (there's probably so many spiders and house centipedes up there!).

Eventually, even after buying all the cabling and supplies, I decided to abandon that approach.

Setting up MoCA

This process couldn't've been easier. The coax cables in the ceiling aren't connected to a source or anything, and I actually already had the line from the living room connected directly to the line going to my bedroom for some other stuff, so it was as simple as plugging in the bridges and waiting a minute for the connection to establish. I believe there's a way to encrypt the connection just like with HomePlug, but since I don't share the cabling with any other units, I'm probably not going to bother.

Conclusion

I'm enjoying MoCA! It's fast and so far reliable. I'd highly recommend going this route over something like HomePlug if you need a wired connection and happen to have coax wired in your place.

I got my first walkman in 1984. My first tape was Wham!, I think. I got the yellow walkman in 1988 and used it though most of the 90s. I pretty much went straight from tapes to mp3s, I never replaced my walkman with a discman, they seemed so fragile and pointless to me. Walkman to ipod, straight shot.

If we wanted to watch a movie on our tv in the 80s, we would go to the video rental shore, rent a VCR and a movie, and bring it home for 24 hours. Sometimes my sister and I would shove a tape player/recorder up against the speaker of the TV to record the audio so we could hear it later.

We made mixtapes by listening to the radio with our tape primed at the right spot and our fingers hovering over the record button when the song we wanted in the mix came on.

My family got it's first and only shared computer in 1990. It was not networked. If you wanted to put something on it, you had to stick a disk in it. It could use both kinds of floppy disk (actually floppy and not-floppy floppy disk).

I was one of 2 people on my residence floor at university who had a desktop computer in 1993. My roommate had a word processor with a screen you could see 3 lines at a time on, and she wrote her papers on that. She wrote all her papers in the middle of the night, so I have no idea how that thing worked.

I had a dot matrix printer.

The only way for me to access the internet was to go to the computer lab in the building next door, which closed at about 10pm, but they would let me stay after that, I just couldn't leave and come back in again. It was amber or green characters on a black screen. Often, you couldn't see what you were typing until you hit enter. If you hit backspace, it showed up as ^H. If a person didn't know that you can't backspace, they'd contribute stuff like this:

Hi guise^H^H^H^Huys!

I got my first email address in 1993. Most people did not have email addresses at the time, so you'd assume people didn't unless they told you otherwise. I couldn't check my email over the summer in 1993-97, because we didn't have dial up at home.

The internet was basically lists and directories at the time, mostly Gopher lists and directories, which take you to other directories. There was a directory of songs with their guitar chords, I remember that. Just...tons of tons of different static directories of "pages" with information on them. And there were message boards, the alt boards that were at one point absorbed into Dejanews. There were lots of threaded conversations going on, thousands of message boards. I was on one called alt.shoe.lesbian. It had been created by some guy for porn or kink purposes, but then a bunch of 30something lesbians found it and made it a friendly spot to post about general life stuff.

There were lots of ways to talk to strangers live, too: there was IRC, which is like discord, telnet-based communities (MUD/MUCK/MOO/MUSH), which are not. I made a lot of friends on MOOs. (Julian Dibbell wrote a piece on sexual assault in a virtual world about an incident on lambdaMOO). Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash is a very good depiction of what the internet felt like at that time, projected forward.

I didn't see a graphical web browser until 1995. It was Netscape, and the first time I tried to use it, nothing loaded. It was still very exciting.

I got my first laptop in grad school in 1997. It was able to connect to the internet from my laptop via dial up for the first time in 1998. I would get my readings from JSTOR and print them out and pretend I got them from the library. It felt like cheating.

In 1999 I was in graduate school again and got DSL cable internet for the first time, but no wifi. I had a 30 ft ethernet cable and a laptop. It took only 3-5 minutes to download a song off Napster! And then Limewire. This was when I first discovered online fanfiction. It really should have happened sooner, I went down the wrong gopher holes, clearly. Got my first blog in 1999 (blogger). Got my first fannish blog in 2000 (livejournal).

In 1999-2000, I would plug earphones into my laptop while taking the bus home, and stick my thumb in it so it wouldn't close all the way and stop playing. World's biggest MP3 player. Still better than a discman. I was very ready for the ipod when it appeared in 2001, RIP the clickwheel.

When the planes struck the world trade center towers in September, 2001, the media said the internet failed because websites and cell reception all went down and people in the thick of it in Manhattan couldn't communicate out. That wasn't totally true. Telnet was fine. I was in touch with several people at ground zero via telnet and called their families for them to let them know that they were okay.

I finally got my first cell phone in 2003. I was in yet another grad school.

I got my first wifi router in 2005 when I got my first real job. I also replaced my crappy phone with a pink razr.

I got my first iphone in 2007. That was just a couple of years ago, wasn't it?

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.

Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.

Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

Titanium and Jupiter Network: Making AI possible at the speed of light

Titanium, the offload technology system that supports Google’s infrastructure, has been improved to accommodate workloads related to artificial intelligence. Titanium provides greater compute and memory resources for your applications by lowering the host’s processing overhead through a combination of on-host and off-host offloads. Furthermore, although Titanium’s fundamental features can be applied to AI infrastructure, the accelerator-to-accelerator performance needs of AI workloads are distinct.

Google has released a new Titanium ML network adapter to address these demands, which incorporates and expands upon NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NICs to provide further support for virtualization, traffic encryption, and VPCs. The system offers best-in-class security and infrastructure management along with non-blocking 3.2 Tbps of GPU-to-GPU traffic across RoCE when combined with its data center’s 4-way rail-aligned network.

Google’s Jupiter optical circuit switching network fabric and its updated data center network significantly expand Titanium’s capabilities. With native 400 Gb/s link rates and a total bisection bandwidth of 13.1 Pb/s (a practical bandwidth metric that reflects how one half of the network can connect to the other), Jupiter could handle a video conversation for every person on Earth at the same time. In order to meet the increasing demands of AI computation, this enormous scale is essential.

Hyperdisk ML is widely accessible

For computing resources to continue to be effectively utilized, system-level performance maximized, and economical, high-performance storage is essential. Google launched its AI-powered block storage solution, Hyperdisk ML, in April 2024. Now widely accessible, it adds dedicated storage for AI and HPC workloads to the networking and computing advancements.

Hyperdisk ML efficiently speeds up data load times. It drives up to 11.9x faster model load time for inference workloads and up to 4.3x quicker training time for training workloads.

With 1.2 TB/s of aggregate throughput per volume, you may attach 2500 instances to the same volume. This is more than 100 times more than what big block storage competitors are giving.

Reduced accelerator idle time and increased cost efficiency are the results of shorter data load times.

Multi-zone volumes are now automatically created for your data by GKE. In addition to quicker model loading with Hyperdisk ML, this enables you to run across zones for more computing flexibility (such as lowering Spot preemption).

Developing AI’s future

Google Cloud enables companies and researchers to push the limits of AI innovation with these developments in AI infrastructure. It anticipates that this strong foundation will give rise to revolutionary new AI applications.

Implementation of Li-Fi Technology in Classrooms

Classrooms are no longer limited to blackboards and chalk. With digital learning tools, smart boards, and online resources, education is becoming more interactive and connected. To support this change, schools require more reliable and faster wireless communication. While Wi-Fi has been the go-to solution, a new and innovative technology is gaining attention — Li-Fi.

At NavTechno, we focus on building smart solutions for future-ready education. This blog explains how Li-Fi technology works and how it can improve the learning experience in classrooms.

What is Li-Fi?

Li-Fi stands for Light Fidelity. It is a wireless communication technology that uses light to transmit data. Instead of using radio waves like Wi-Fi, Li-Fi sends data through visible LED light. These LED lights blink at very high speeds to transfer information to devices equipped with a light sensor or photodetector. These changes in light are not visible to the human eye, so the room stays well-lit while data is transferred at high speed.

Benefits of Using Li-Fi in Classrooms

Li-Fi offers numerous benefits for educational environments. Here are some reasons why schools and colleges are starting to adopt this technology.

Faster Internet Speed

Li-Fi can provide internet speeds that are much faster than traditional Wi-Fi. Students can access videos, digital textbooks, online tests, and research content without waiting for pages to load or videos to buffer. This helps save time and keeps the learning experience smooth and uninterrupted.

Better Data Security

Since Li-Fi signals are carried through light, they do not pass through walls. This means that the internet signal stays inside the classroom. It becomes much harder for outsiders to hack into the network or access sensitive information. This makes Li-Fi a safer option for schools, especially when handling student records or online assessments.

No Electromagnetic Interference

Unlike Wi-Fi, Li-Fi does not interfere with devices that are sensitive to electromagnetic signals. This makes it ideal for classrooms that have lab equipment, medical instruments, or special learning tools. The learning environment remains free from disturbances caused by radio frequency-based communication.

Reliable Connection in Crowded Environments

In classrooms filled with laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, Wi-Fi networks often slow down. Li-Fi helps by handling the data load more efficiently. Since each LED light can act as a separate access point, multiple students can connect at the same time without losing speed or connectivity.

How Li-Fi is Implemented in Classrooms

Setting up Li-Fi in a classroom is simpler than it seems. Here is how it works:

LED lights installed in the ceiling act as the data source. These lights are connected to the internet through wired connections like Ethernet. When the lights are turned on, they begin to send data by blinking at high speeds. These blinks are picked up by special receivers installed in students’ laptops, tablets, or other learning devices. The photodetector reads the data and turns it back into usable internet signals.

The best part is that the same lights used for room lighting can now double as internet access points. This reduces the need for extra wiring or routers.

Real-World Applications of Li-Fi in Education

Here are a few ways Li-Fi is being used in classrooms:

Smart Boards and Displays: Teachers can connect their devices directly to smart boards using Li-Fi. Presentations and lesson plans load instantly and can be updated in real-time.

Student Devices: Tablets and laptops used by students can receive Li-Fi signals for research, assignments, and quizzes. Each desk or group of desks can be served by its own LED light, offering better network coverage.

Digital Exams: Li-Fi makes online testing faster and more secure. Since the signal does not go beyond the classroom walls, the risk of cheating or hacking is reduced.

Interactive Learning: Learning apps, virtual labs, and online videos work more efficiently with faster internet. Teachers can use these tools to make lessons more engaging.

Challenges and Solutions

Like any new technology, Li-Fi also has some challenges. The main limitation is that Li-Fi only works where light is available. If the light is blocked or turned off, the signal is lost. However, this can be solved by combining Li-Fi with traditional Wi-Fi to provide backup support. Another solution is to install multiple LED lights in a room to maintain strong coverage in all areas.

As device manufacturers begin adding Li-Fi support to smartphones, laptops, and tablets, this technology will become more accessible in schools.

Why Choose NavTechno for Li-Fi Classroom Projects

At NavTechno, we are passionate about using smart technology to solve real-world problems.
