Insert Part: This function enables you to pull all the solid and surface bodies, sketches, reference geometry, and even features from an existing part into the current part. It's available as a toolbar icon and from the Insert menu.
Insert Into New Part: This function enables you to insert a selection of solid and surface bodies from the current part into a brand-new part. Even though this function is initiated from the parent document, it's classified as a Pull function because it doesn't leave a feature in the parent but does leave one in the child. This function doesn't have an icon.
Split: This function enables you to split a single solid body into multiple solid bodies and save (push) each body to a separate part file. This function is available as a toolbar icon and a menu entry in the Insert Features menu. It creates a feature in the FeatureManager of the originating (parent) part file.
Save Bodies: This function enables you to save (push) all the solid bodies from a part out to separate part files. This function is available only through the RMB menu on the solid bodies folder. It doesn't create a feature in the FeatureManager of the parent part and doesn't have an icon. This is different from Keep/Delete Bodies.
You've definitely given a lot of information to investigate. But, at the root of it all, everything has its pluses and minuses. It's just sorting through the different options for an application and finding what works for you. And that is the hard part because everyone's needs are different.
I have heard or read about most of what you listed. But, I haven't investigated using them. Part of the problem with SW features/tools/methods is that they often don't work the way you think they will and it takes a lot of time to really investigate something to get it to the point that it can be part of your workflow. I have made that investment in Weldments and really like the result. I may have to do some more leg work.
That is a good summary. Mark Biosotti gave a really good master model seminar at the 2017 SWW, which changed my thinking on various topics. I must say, though, that I have not done a master model project since then so I don't have my own experience to go by.
This at least sounds like it will keep bodies straight, especially if you name them.
On a related topic, I have always wished that SW would take all the export body stuff out of the Split feature and make Split more like other modeling features, just a sketch, split, and done. Use the Save Bodies when you have to, for the very few times you need it, compared to the many times you use Split. And stick that sketch inside the feature, instead of leaving it hanging in the tree.
What happens if you check out, say a Master Sketch part and make a change and one of the parts affected isn't checked out to you?
I just got off the phone with the VAR, I asked them to answer this question while I had them on the phone. Basically, in PDM if you check out a Master Part and make a change that affects a part not checked out to you it flags the assembly and part that it needs to be rebuilt. So, you'll know what needs to be updated and what doesn't. When you push the revision, if you have the below checkbox marked, users won't be able to push the revision for the parts. They will have to check-out, rebuild and check back in the parts with the change.
If you aren't using PDM, this is definitely a concern. I'd be interested to hear how others using a folder approach deal with this situation. Maybe John Stoltzfus has some ideas?
That is definitely something to carefully consider. I'm sure PDM could help with this particular problem. And it brings up a good question. What happens if you check out, say a Master Sketch part and make a change and one of the parts affected isn't checked out to you?
I'm going to have to go down that rabbit hole because we are in the process of rolling out PDM for collaborative work.
Nothing happens. Until you check it in and then open the affected part. Which is the same thing that happens if you change a model and don't have its drawing checked out, or an assembly where the part is used.
PDM doesn't help maintain in-context references at all aside from letting you more easily see see when a file has them without actually opening the file. You have to have an overarching process that people follow to ensure changes are made in a sensible manner and notifies the necessary parties, but the same is true for parts with no in-context references. In theory, you could have PDM keep track of master parts (via a custom property linked to a data card variable) and when they are changed (via state change) a notification could be sent to users or groups. However, in my experience, notifications are largely ignored.
I've been reading the thread and haven't seen a compelling reason to use any of the modelling methods listed for the type of work I do: one-off custom machines where nearly every part is a moving part and nearly every part can be made using a standard lathe and/or mill. in-context references lead to confusion when checking parts in and out because the referenced files show up in the check-in/out dialogs. If you have a master part, what do you call it? Do you give it a part number? Where do you store the file? I prefer to keep the process simple, and maintaining in-context references is anything but simple.
Speaking for myself, we don't do a lot of multi-user projects. When we do them, generally they are split accordingly; One user does the master modeling and others do sub assemblies and parts.
It is all about defining what needs to be built around your master and what doesn't. For instance, a door for a trailer can be installed on multiple trailers so it is imperative that the door be built without any link to the master assembly of the project. It is generally mated consequential so that if there is indeed a change that affects the length/width of the door that it can be easily spotted. If the door is to be built in context for some reason then the door will become a ''project'' instead of a product''.
A part that can and is built in context to a master would be the main beam of a trailer. If the master sketch of the main beam changes, then the main beam needs to change accordingly to it.
It's important to be conscientious of what your master affects.

Use the Save Bodies when you have to, for the very few times you need it, compared to the many times you use Split.
When bumping a revision the setting in the picture in my previous post makes it to where the part can't be "bumped" and will always remain needing rebuilding until it is checked-out, rebuilt and checked in. But otherwise, yes users have to know what they are doing and how everything works.
I had come up with a pretty slick subassembly modelling method with no external references and compartmentalized mates, complete with rules and all. It worked, but it had a fundamental flaw...What if I needed to change something? So, I learned the SSP method and changes are soooo much easier now. I'm not trying to contradict you...You know your workflow and methods posted may not work for it. I'm just stating my experience.

This could be handled by training.
If you have a master part, what do you call it? Do you give it a part number? Where do you store the file? I prefer to keep the process simple, and maintaining in-context references is anything but simple.
I call my master part "0.HXXXXX - Assembly or Part Description Sketch" The 0 designates the level and the "Sketch" indicates it is the SSP. But, it really doesn't matter what the name is the location in the feature tree makes it easy enough to identify.
Do you give it a part number?
If you've got an ERP this may be an issue. But to answer your question, no. And, I exclude it from the BOM.
Where do you store the file? I prefer to keep the process simple, and maintaining in-context references is anything but simple.
It's just part of the assembly it goes into the PDM system just like any other part. I agree there's a learning curve, but maintaining those references isn't overwhelming after some experience.
Interesting that Mark adopted my push/pull terminology. It was just something I invented to help me understand what was going on. I remember talking to him about it when he worked for SW.
If you totally rework the method for splitting bodies, and you have features/parts dependent on those bodies, you can orphan a whole lot of data. So just make sure you aren't making that level of change by the time you start adding features to your child documents.
Sure. Maybe a fine print option to get to the old interface.
Matt Lombard - All the discussions here are great to follow and very interesting. Just a quick comment on the Plastic Molded components or surfacing Models such as you show here..
Like I mentioned before, we all start our Models the same way, by either using a 3D sketch or selecting a plane and adding lines..... So the molded components have sketches right? So why not take a few of those sketches and relate the overall layout to those sketches, no different then selecting a solid, btw you can use solids rather then sketches. I think that people visualize the SSP of being just full of a mass of sketches, your SSP can have just one sketch controlling the size, or you can have a 100 sketches. Most of us know that the more references you create the more it slows down SW.
The interesting thing for me is people don't understand how I really use the SSP and apparently it is really difficult for me to explain clearly, I guess. I've been on that side of the fence a long time and with a lot of collaboration with many people here on the forms a little bit by bit it became very clear that it's all about a process not about a technique. Approaching every modeling project the same way, it don't matter if it moves or is stationary, or if it's a one off or multiple units, I wouldn't approach any new designs differently, because I know now that all my models are 100% parametric and accurate. My designs over the years have been very inconsistent and I feel for all the people struggling, been there done that.
So for me it's not about which technique you use is it SSP, Master Model, Top Down or Bottom up, it is about creating a process that works every time with every project.. Just think of the SSP being a process where, you start here and go step by step till your model is complete, doing it the same way over and over and over, which in turn gives you confidence and 100% robust models every time.
The way I handle components in SolidWorks would make most people cringe. Here in our production facility we have a very unique system of One Piece Work Flow and my drawing numbers are not inventory components parse. Therefore each project is a separate entity so we could have literally hundreds of interchangeable components clogging up our computer data space, which doesn't matter as much now as it would have 10 years ago, who would have thought that you could have 100 gig of storage.
What I do is Design on Size of that style and then Pack & Go the rest of the sizes after the drawings on the initial one is complete, I don't worry about interchangeable components at all. If there is one part that is in 5 other sizes of that same style, it is still done as an individual pc.
There is where I can feel your pain, been there done that soooo many times, it used to make me sick and especially if you had a pressing project and all of a sudden drawings are wrong and the project is late, talk about pressure.. SolidWorks just didn't work, but now I know why.
We all get that, but the "intelligence" built in is rarely necessary once the design is done.
When is the design ever done? If you ever come back to it or make a version of it, you will have to redo all that from scratch. Plus, you're billing actual time to remove information. And you get no benefit from wasting your time.
I can't think of one example where I felt that it would be better to leave something linked when the project was finished than to cut the ties. And more often than not, when I forget to break those links it bites me in the a$$.
Oh, I don't doubt that, but it's just because you don't know how to handle things. How about this, since you've done everything imaginable, you've probably been in this situation. An assembly where several parts are made from a single complex shape. Like a mouse. You use the outer shape as the master model. Now you split the buttons and top. And now you break the links.
Next, the marketing department wants a child's version of the mouse. Your complex shapes in the buttons and top are all dead. As good as imported geometry. You've got nothing. You have to start again. You've taken 1 hour of work and made it into a week. It just has to happen once to make it possible. Meanwhile breaking links gives you no advantage.
And as I mentioned, there may be instances where you are planning on reusing that intelligence, you can just lock those relationships and then after the appropriate pack and go to a new project folder, unlock and start hacking away at the new modified design.
Locking is an entirely different thing. You've got to think of that before you do it. I see no advantage in breaking links at all. You should forget about that function altogether. Unless you're going to make a library part out of something that was originally designed in-context, and that's pretty unlikely. You should also learn about the Freeze capabilities, and how to open parts - even parts with live links - such that they don't see the parent or child document. There are renaming tricks you can use to temporarily sever links, moving files, opening parts without the assemblies, making one assembly for in-context, and another for things like motion or rendering where you need to do stuff that would destroy the links - lots of stuff if you just understand how the links work.
The only time I can imagine that the links being left in would be useful is in an organization where the output is fairly repetitive and everyone involved is carefully trained on the relationships and how to properly use them.
What is the advantage of breaking the links? It takes extra time to do it, and you lose information/control. Even if you're never going to see that assembly again, what is the advantage? There is none. You're taking extra time to hog-tie yourself.
Yes, you have to train people on how to manage links between files. It's very possible to manage links successfully. It sounds like you need that training. People make bad decisions (like breaking links) every day just because they don't understand how it works, and they're afraid of it. This breaking links nonsense is one of the fallacies I really wish I could debunk.
I suppose you've managed large projects with teams working on assemblies in excess of 20-40 thousand parts rather than just a mouse with four parts?
If I wanted to put that mouse to bed, I would break all the links. What happens when you send file A to vendor 1 and file B to vendor 2 and they're requesting native files? Now you've got to send multiple files or they get cherry bombs.
To keep the links for future use, sure, one could archive a version with the links for modification purposes, but I wouldn't want to take the original files and have a new team member start monkeying around with those.
But you know what's best...you and your four parts.
You don't demonstrate an idea with 1000 parts. In plastics design you don't have a lot of parts, you have a lot of features. Generally large assemblies work with parts with very few features, probably a lot of imported data for purchased parts. Short part trees don't have much complexity. A "mine is bigger than yours" argument really doesn't mean anything. You should learn how to deal with small situations before you get turned loose on large ones. Plus, part of what I'm exploring here is what to do in different types of design situations. It's not a matter of size, it's a matter of matching a process to a set of requirements.
When I worked as CAD administrator, I made sure people knew how to handle problems, and if they couldn't, I was there to help them. I didn't sacrifice the goals just because one person didn't have a particular skill. Deleting the value of the design process wasn't part of what I was tasked with doing.
If you want to give design files to manufacturing people, you have to make sure that they know how to handle it, or just give them what they need. Many times people don't understand what they are asking for.
Plus, I'm really curious, what's the value of breaking relations over locking them?
And then there's the question we haven't gotten to yet - what kind of associativity are you creating? Are you making part-to-part links in the context of an assembly (sketch 1 from part 1 references an edge in part 2)? A skeleton part inserted into individual parts? Multi-level links in top level and subassemblies? These are all different levels of complexity and reliability.
If you are trying to manage rebuild times in assemblies, there are I'm sure some unturned stones we could have a look at. The concepts are the same with the large assembly, it just takes more planning.

Maddison has continued volunteering and working with Art Hive @Agnes, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, she helped transition the program online. These opportunities allowed Maddison to discover her interest in museum and gallery education, which she hopes to pursue after graduation.
Workshop 2: Writing & Literary Arts with Sadiqa de Meijer
In 1985, a groundbreaking article called "I Can't Hear You While I'm Listening," by internist Dr. Richard J. Baron, appeared in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The title referred to the doctor's quieting of his patient during auscultation. In this workshop, we ask: what does it mean to listen to patients? On what levels, and with what ends in mind, might health care providers hear what is being conveyed to them? Please join Sadiqa de Meijer as we use literary, experiential, and written reflection to explore these questions for ourselves.
Sadiqa de Meijer
Sadiqa de Meijer's most recent books are The Outer Wards (Vehicule Press) and alfabet / alphabet (Palimpsest Press). Her poetry, essays, and short fiction have appeared in journals internationally, and been awarded the CBC Poetry Prize, Arc's Poem of the Year award, and other honours. She is a graduate of Queen's Medicine and a former instructor of the 'Medicine and Literature' course.
Workshop 3: Dance/Movement with Filipa Pereira-Stubbs and Natalie Ellis
Dance for Health (DfH) is Cambridge University Hospitals' (CUH) flagship arts programme. Now an international leader in the field of participatory dance within hospital settings, DfH was piloted in 2013 with the initial aim to improve the hospital experience for older patients. In the past 3 years alone, DfH has had more than 3000 participant visits, and currently takes place weekly for inpatients on a number of different adult wards including stroke rehabilitation, neuro-trauma, diabetes & endocrinology, and the department for medicine of the elderly.
This workshop is an invitation for you to experience DfH from a patient's perspective. By guiding you through a practical DfH session, Filipa Pereira-Stubbs – DFH's lead practitioner and co-founder – will introduce the practices and principles that sit at the heart of the programme, followed by valuable time for us to reflect and discuss.

We have been with A Child's Place – Ridgefield Parkway Campus since they opened their doors and could not be happier. We have referred four students to join as well because we know that the kids will not only be happy and feel loved, but also have fun learning! The teachers and management are truly the BEST!
It was a difficult decision for us to move our girls from the small, in-home day care they had been attending for 2 ½ years. Within the first month at ACP they started becoming more social and outgoing. They look forward to going every day and often come home and play school, pretending to be all their different teachers. There is no doubt in our minds that ACP was the right decision for our family.
I was a first time mother in February 2006 and very worried about leaving my infant when I went back to work. When we visited A Child's Place we were very pleased with the facility and staff. Our daughter has been attending A Child's Place since she was four months old. She is currently 4 years old and there has not been one day that we have been disappointed with the care she has received. It is a relief as a working mother to know that she enjoys going to "school" and that she is also actively learning new things every day. The center offers a wide variety of educational as well as fun activities for the children every week. In addition, my daughter is greeted with smiles and hugs every day. I could go on and on about the great things at A Child's Place, but the truth is all you have to do is see my daughter. She is proof that the staff takes a strong interest in her education and welfare. Furthermore, we just enrolled our 8 week old daughter at A Child's Place. I am confident that she will receive the same supervision care that our first born has. I would recommend A Child's Place to anyone that was looking for day care for their children.
One of the most difficult decisions a working parent has to face is child care. For my husband and I, we had tried other centers and even in-home providers, but we were never truly satisfied with the quality of the care our children received.
When we started our search again, we had high expectations. We wanted a school that offered a solid curriculum with a mix of both educational and fun activities, experienced teachers, strong leadership, operating hours that were conducive to our work schedules, and lastly a clean, caring, and safe environment for our children. We looked at many centers and then found A Child's Place in the West End. Not only did ACP meet our initial expectations, they have extended them!
My three daughters are so happy and truly excited to go to day care everyday. This summer we took our children out for one month due to vacation. My oldest daughter celebrated her birthday and even though the girls were not attending at that time, a member of ACP management called just to wish her a happy birthday. That one kind act showed us how much they truly care about my children. In my book, that speaks volumes about the superior quality of this day care center.
If you have high expectations about the quality of care that your children receive when you have to be at work; you can trust the team at A Child's Place to ensure your children are engaged, happy, and full of stories about their special days – everyday! It is truly a special place to be.
My daughter started at A Child's Place when she was eight months old and has grown up there. ACP provided me the priceless peace of mind knowing my child was being cared for while I worked. My daughter enjoyed many days filled with fun and educational activities. It is truly A Child's Place to learn and grow!
I recently told a friend that I loved my job, and she said, "That's because Olivia is so happy at daycare." How true! ACP provides structure, understanding, tenderness, and humor as they care for their children. I have been amazed and thrilled with the quality of care and facility premises. This is not our first day care location, but will be our last. We love it!

SCS is a new "species" of low carbon flat-rolled steel. Starting with economical hot rolled black, the SCS process clenas the steel, removing rust and mill scale. The resulting steel emerges "white glove" clean and RESISTANT TO RUSTING. That's right, under conditions of indoor storage in a noncondensing humidity atmosphere, SCS will not develop rust for prolonged periods, and it achievs this without the need for protective oil films or other coatings.
The cleanliness of SCS offers a number of advantages in manufacturing and fabrication processes, lowering the overall cost of production. SCS steel - in sheet or coil form - can be obtained from one of the SCS Producers - a family of steel service centers and toll processors who operate the patented SCS processing equipment.

Facebook is making its own deepfakes and offering prizes for detecting them – gpgmail
September 5, 2019 administrator artificial intelligence, deep learning, deepfakes, Facebook, image manipulation, machine learning, Social, TC
Image and video manipulation powered by deep learning, or so-called "deepfakes," represent a strange and horrifying facet of a promising new field. If we're going to crack down on these creepy creations, we'll need to fight fire with fire; Facebook, Microsoft, and many others are banding together to help make machine learning capable of detecting deepfakes — and they want you to help.
Though the phenomenon is still new, we are nevertheless in an arms race where the methods of detection vie with the methods of creation. Ever more convincing fakes appear regularly, and though while they are frequently benign, the possibility of having your face flawlessly grafted into a compromising position is very much there — and many a celebrity has already had it done to them.
Facebook, as part of a coalition with Microsoft, the Partnership for AI, and several universities including Oxford, Berkeley, and MIT, is working to empower the side of good with better detection techniques.
"The most interesting advances in AI have happened when there's a clear benchmark on a dataset to write papers against," said Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer in a media call yesterday. The dataset for object recognition might be millions of images of ordinary objects, while the dataset for voice transcription would be hours of different kinds of speech. But there's no such set for deepfakes.
We talked about this challenge at our Robotics and AI event earlier this year in what I thought was a very interesting discussion:
Fortunately Facebook is planning on dedicating around $10 million in resources to make this Deepfake Detection Challenge happen.
"Creation of these datasets can be challenging, because you want to make sure that everyone participating in it is clear and gives consent so they aren't surprised by the usage of it," Schroepfer continued. And since most deepfakes are made without any consent whatsoever, they're not really permissible for usage in an academic context.
So Facebook and its partners are making the deepfake content out of whole cloth, he said. "You want a dataset of source video, and then a dataset of personalities you can map onto that. Then we're spending engineering time implementing the latest most advanced deepfake techniques to generate altered videos as part of the dataset."
And while you're entirely justified in wondering, no, they aren't using Facebook data to do this. They've got paid actors.
This dataset will be provided to interested parties, who will be able to build solutions and test them, putting the results on a leaderboard. At some point there will be cash prizes given out, though the details are a ways off. With luck this will spur serious competition among academics and researchers.
"We need the full involvement of the research community in an open environment to develop methods and systems that can detect and mitigate the ill-effects of manipulated multimedia," said the University of Maryland's Rama Chellappa in a news release. "By making available a large corpus of genuine and manipulated media, the proposed challenge will excite and enable the research community to collectively address this looming crisis."
Initial tests of the dataset are planned for the International Conference on Computer Vision in October, with the full launch happening at NeurIPS in December.

Cerebras Systems Unveils 1.2 Trillion Transistor Wafer-Scale Processor for AI
August 20, 2019 administrator ai, artificial intelligence, Cerebras, Cerebras Systems, computing, deep learning, Extreme, Moore's law, more-than-moore, wafer scale processing, WSE

Modern CPU transistor counts are enormous — AMD announced earlier this month that a full implementation of its 7nm Epyc "Rome" CPU weighs in at 32 billion transistors. To this, Cerebras Technology says: "Hold my beer." The AI-focused company has designed what it calls a Wafer Scale Engine. The WSE is a square, approximately eight inches by nine inches, and contains roughly 1.2 trillion transistors.
I'm genuinely surprised to see a company bringing a wafer-scale product to market this quickly. The idea of wafer-scale processing has attracted some attention recently as a potential solution to performance scaling difficulties. In the study we discussed earlier this year, researchers evaluated the idea of building an enormous GPU across most or all of a 100mm wafer. They found that the technique could product viable, high-performance processors and that it could also scale effectively to larger node sizes. The Cerebras WSE definitely qualifies as lorge large — its total surface area is much larger than the hypothetical designs we considered earlier this year. It's not a full-sized 300mm wafer, but it's got a higher surface area than a 200mm does.
The largest GPU, just for comparison, measures 815 square millimeters and packs 21.1B transistors. So the Cerebras WSE is just a bit bigger, as these things go. Some companies send out pictures of their chips held up next to a diminutive common object, like a quarter. Cerebras sent out a photo of their die next to a keyboard.
Not Pictured: PCIe x1600 slot.
As you can see, it compares fairly well.
The Cerebras WSE contains 400,000 sparse linear algebra cores, 18GB of total on-die memory, 9PB/sec worth of memory bandwidth across the chip, and separate fabric bandwidth of up to 100Pbit/sec. The entire chip is built on TSMC's 16nm FinFET process. Because the chip is built from (most) of a single wafer, the company has implemented methods of routing around bad cores on-die and can keep its arrays connected even if it has bad cores in a section of the wafer. The company says it has redundant cores implemented on-die, though it hasn't discussed specifics yet. Details on the design are being presented at Hot Chips this week.
The WSE — "CPU" simply doesn't seem sufficient — is cooled using a massive cold plate sitting above the silicon, with vertically mounted water pipes used for direct cooling. Because there's no traditional package large enough to fit the chip, Cerebras has designed its own. PCWorld describes it as "combining a PCB, the wafer, a custom connector linking the two, and the cold plate." Details on the chip, like its raw performance and power consumption, are not yet available.
A fully functional wafer-scale processor, commercialized at scale, would be an exciting demonstration of whether this technological approach has any relevance to the wider market. While we're never going to see consumer components sold this way, there's been interest in using wafer-scale processing to improve performance and power consumption in a range of markets. If consumers continue to move workloads to the cloud, especially high-performance workloads like gaming, it's not crazy to think we might one day see GPU manufacturers taking advantage of this idea — and building arrays of parts that no individual could ever afford to power cloud gaming systems in the future.

Intel Announces Cooper Lake Will Be Socketed, Compatible With Future Ice Lake CPUs
August 6, 2019 administrator 10nm, 14nm, 7nm, ai, amd, artificial intelligence, Cascade Lake, computing, Cooper Lake, cpus, deep learning, Epyc, Ice Lake, Intel, Loihi, Movidius, Nervana, Xe, xeon
Intel may have launched Cascade Lake relatively recently, but there's another 14nm server refresh already on the horizon. Intel lifted the lid on Cooper Lake today, giving some new details on how the CPU fits into its product lineup with Ice Lake 10nm server chips already supposedly queuing up for 2020 deployment.
Cooper Lake's features include support for the Google-developed bfloat16 format. It will also support up to 56 CPU cores in a socketed format, unlike Cascade Lake-AP, which scales up to 56 cores but only in a soldered, BGA configuration. The new socket will reportedly be known as LGA4189. There are reports that these chips could offer up to 16 memory channels (because Cascade Lake-AP and Cooper Lake both use multiple dies on the same chip, the implication is that Intel may launch up to 16 memory channels per socket with the dual-die version).
The bfloat16 support is a major addition to Intel's AI efforts. While 16-bit half-precision floating point numbers have been defined in the IEEE 754 standard for over 30 years, bfloat16 changes the balance between how much of the format is used for significant digits and how much is devoted to exponents. The original IEEE 754 standard is designed to prioritize precision, with just five exponent bits. The new format allows for a much greater range of values but at lower precision. This is particularly valuable for AI and deep learning calculations, and is a major step on Intel's path to improving the performance of AI and deep learning calculations on CPUs. Intel has published a whitepaper on bfloat16 if you're looking for more information on the topic. Google claims that using bfloat16 instead of conventional half-precision floating point can yield significant performance advantages. The company writes: "Some operations are memory-bandwidth-bound, which means the memory bandwidth determines the time spent in such operations. Storing inputs and outputs of memory-bandwidth-bound operations in the bfloat16 format reduces the amount of data that must be transferred, thus improving the speed of the operations."
The other advantage of Cooper Lake is that the CPU will reportedly share a socket with Ice Lake servers coming in 2020. One major theorized distinction between the two families is that Ice Lake servers on 10nm may not support bfloat16, while 14nm Cooper Lake servers will. This could be the result of increased differentiation in Intel's product lines, though it's also possible that it reflects 10nm's troubled development.
Bringing 56 cores to market in a socketed form factor indicates Intel expects Cooper Lake to expand to more customers than Cascade Lake / Cascade Lake-AP targeted. It also raises questions about what kind of Ice Lake servers Intel will bring to market, and whether we'll see 56-core versions of these chips as well. To-date, all of Intel's messaging around 10nm Ice Lake has focused on servers or mobile. This may mirror the strategy Intel used for Broadwell, where the desktop versions of the CPU were few and far between, and the mobile and server parts dominated that family — but Intel also said later that not doing a Broadwell desktop release was a mistake and that the company had goofed by skipping the market. Whether that means Intel is keeping an Ice Lake desktop launch under its hat or if the company has decided skipping desktop again does make sense this time around is still unclear.
Cooper Lake's focus on AI processing implies that it isn't necessarily intended to go toe-to-toe with AMD's upcoming 7nm Epyc. AMD hasn't said much about AI or machine learning workloads on its processors, and while its 7nm chips add support for 256-bit AVX2 operations, we haven't heard anything from the CPU division at the company to imply a specific focus on the AI market. AMD's efforts in this space are still GPU-based, and while its CPUs will certainly run AI code, it doesn't seem to be gunning for the market the way Intel has. Between adding new support for AI to existing Xeons, its Movidius and Nervana products, projects like Loihi, and plans for the data center market with Xe, Intel is trying to build a market for itself to protect its HPC and high-end server business — and to tackle Nvidia's own current dominance of the space.

Leak Shows AMD Epyc 7742 Slugging it Out With Intel Xeon Platinum 8280
August 6, 2019 administrator ai, amd, compute, computing, cpus, deep learning, DL, Epyc, Extreme, Intel, servers, xeon
AMD has kept details about its upcoming Epyc product family remarkably close to its chest. A recent leak (now deleted) at the publicly available Open Benchmarking database shows a tough competition between AMD's upcoming 7nm Epyc CPUs and Intel's equivalent Xeon products. Intel CEO Bob Swan has referred to AMD as offering increased competition in the back half of 2019, particularly in data center, so these figures aren't automatically surprising — unless, of course, you remember the era just a few years ago when AMD's market share in servers was basically zero.
According to the text of the now-deleted leak (picked up by THG before it went down), the AMD Epyc 7742 is a 64-core CPU with 128 threads, 256MB of L3 cache, a TDP of 225W, and a base / boost clock of 2.25GHz and 3.4GHz, respectively. The already-launched Epyc 7601 is a 32C/64T, 180W TDP CPU, with 64MB of L3 and a nearly-identical 2.2GHz base / 3.4GHz boost clock. The Xeon Platinum 8280 is 28C/56T, 2.7GHz base, 4GHz boost, and a 205W TDP, while the Xeon Gold 6138 (included for reference as well) is 20C/40T, 2GHz / 3.7GHz, and a 125W TDP.
If these rumors are accurate, AMD has managed to double core count and very slightly increase clock within a 1.25x larger TDP envelope. I am not sure what the "RDY1001C" refers to at the bottom of the results, though this configuration is always the fastest of the listed. Googling the term turned up no results.
There are more tests at THG than we've reproduced here; check their article for full results. And, as always, treat all results with a big ol' bucket of caution. These are leaked results. Even if accurate, they may reflect engineering samples that are not representative of final performance.
SVT is a video encoder that's heavily optimized for Intel CPUs, but optimizations for Intel chips often work well for AMD CPUs as well, and we certainly see that here. None of the encodes seem to scale particularly well when adding more cores, so we're not going to try to make sense of the dualie figures. A single 7742 is significantly faster than the Xeon Platinum 8280 and the 7742 is more than twice as fast as the 7601.
In HEVC, the performance figures change. Here, Intel and AMD are at parity overall, but the 7742 is a huge uplift over and above the Epyc 7601.
POV-Ray 3.7 does scale with increased thread counts, but the gain from 1x CPU to 2x CPUs is much smaller from the 7742 as compared to the 7601. AMD only picks up about 24 percent more performance from adding another 64 cores, compared to 42 percent scaling for the Xeon Platinum 8280. This difference in scaling means that a pair of dual Xeon 8280's nearly match a pair of Epyc 7742's, even though one Epyc 7742 is significantly faster than one Xeon Platinum 8280.
Blender, and rendering more generally, are tests that AMD CPUs generally excel at. AMD decisively wins this test, though interestingly, we also see signs of significantly improved scaling for the Intel CPUs. This may simply reflect the fact that the Intel CPUs have far fewer cores. The Xeon Platinum 8280 is only a 28-core chip being compared to the performance of a 64-core chip. That's a fairly massive advantage for AMD. Of course, there's also the question of price and positioning — Intel has typically priced its Xeons far above AMD's Epyc CPUs, and we tend to prioritize comparing on price above other factors.
Readers should, however, be aware that we may be seeing scaling issues on the AMD CPUs because of the sheer number of cores — 128C/256T, while the Xeon Platinum CPUs are only fielding 56 cores in a 2S configuration. The applications themselves may not scale well at these kinds of thread counts.
If these figures are accurate, they suggest AMD's 7nm Epyc will be a significant challenge for Intel across a wider range of markets — which is pretty much exactly what we expected based on third-generation Ryzen and AMD's previous statements about Epyc 2. Factor in Bob Swan's acknowledgment of an increased competitive market, and we have a scenario teed up in which Intel will cut its Xeon prices, either by directly trimming them or when it launches Cooper Lake (currently expected in the first half of 2020). Intel's CPU prices have historically run much higher than AMD's, but it's difficult to know exactly how much higher, because the company's list prices (the best indicator we have to go on) don't reflect what its volume customers actually pay.
If AMD's Rome is as good as it looks, we should see increased OEM adoption of the part compared to first-generation Epyc, as well as some reaction from Intel. It can take server customers multiple product generations to move to new vendors, but they do eventually take notice.

On Rang De Basanti's release the film certification Board of India Sought the views of Indian Defence Ministry due to parts that depicted the use of MiG-21 fighter aircraft. But after viewing the movie the ministry found no problems and allow UTV to release. There were also some issues with Animal Welfare Board due to banned Indian horse race.
Rakeysh Mehra took seven years to research and develop the story, including three to write the script.
Development of Rang De Basanti originated with several ideas Mehra came up with early on but later dropped or greatly evolved into new directions.
Early rumours indicated that actors Arjun Rampal and Arjan Bajwa would be amongst the male leads, but these roles ultimately were filled by Sharman Joshi, Siddharth Narayan and R. Madhavan.
Rang De Basanti marked Siddharth's Bollywood debut, following on the success of his Telugu film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana.
Soha, portraying the pilot's fiancée, was filming Rituparna Ghosh's Antarmahal and David Dhawan's comedy Shaadi No. 1 concurrently with her work in Rang De Basanti.
In particular, the demands of Soha's emotional scenes in Antarmahal often left her exhausted, thus requiring "a lot of personal overhauling" to ensure that her performance in Rang De Basanti was unaffected.[2
The film, which was shot in New Delhi, Mumbai, Rajasthan and Punjab, was officially launched at a hotel on 1 February 2005.
To use a historical location for filming, they had to seek permissions of seven officials ranging from the local police to the Archaeological Survey of India office.
Some filming was done at Amritsar's Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara.
Nahargarh Fort, which oversees the city of Jaipur, was another such historical location where one of the songs was filmed.
Once the locations were finalised, the team of Lovleen Bains and Arjun Bhasin was chosen for designing the look of Rang De Basanti.
While speaking about Aamir experience of visiting the Gurudwara for the first time, he said: It's one of the most peaceful places I've been to. As you enter the place there's a certain serenity that surrounds you. I really enjoyed being there. The first shot we took was of our feet entering the water just as you pass the doorway of the temple. The water was cold but it was great!
Bhasin had previously worked on Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love (1996) and Dil Chahta Hai (2001), the latter of which featured Aamir Khan, and he was referred to Mehra by Khan due to their previous association.
The soundtrack to the 2006 film Rang De Basanti was released by Sony BMG on 8 December 2005 and had its music composed by A. R. Rahman and lyrics in Hindi and English by Prasoon Joshi and rapper Blaaze.
The military aircraft they created was so realistic that the Indian Air Force called to check the producer's permission of using an actual MiG-21.
In post-production, the visual effects were handled by Tata Elxsi's Visual Computing Labs.
Khan's hair was styled by Avan Contractor, who came up with soft curls falling over Khan's forehead.
In a press conference with pop singer Nelly Furtado, Rahman said that she was to originally have featured on the soundtrack, although this was ultimately prevented from happening due to a change in producers and other factors.
Khan's hair was styled by Avan Contractor, who came up with soft curls falling over Khan's forehead. This new look, which took Contractor one hour to come up with, surprised the audience at the film's launch.
From the film's announcement in April 2005, Rahman was slated to compose the music.
screenwriter and director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Rahman were reported to have chosen Aamir Khan to sing for one of the songs, though his recorded performance turned out to be more a poetic recitation.
Joshi, one of the lyricists, was impressed with the director, Rakeysh Mehra, who was ready to adjust to his style of writing as well as his creativity.
The title track was used at a flash mob at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai on 27 November 2011 in honour of those who died in the 26/11 attack.
The soundtrack won the Filmfare Best Music Director Award, and had two of its tracks, "Khalbali" and "Luka Chuppi", considered for an Academy Award for Best Original Song nomination.
Star Aamir Khan, with his knowledge of Hindi and Urdu, worked with Rahman and Joshi for the film's soundtrack.
While discussing typical Bollywood soundtracks, Nilanjana Bhattacharjya, a professor of music at Colorado College noted that Rahman integrated traditional Punjabi cultural elements within his music for this soundtrack.
According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 19,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's third highest-selling.
Confessing that the film's soundtrack was his favorite out of all his previous works, Joshi felt that it "was a wonderful experience getting to know the mindset of today's youth and to pen down their feelings".
The film contained scenes of a MiG-21, a controversial aircraft in the Indian Air Force, which has a long history of fatal accidents in India.
Rang De Basanti received its world premiere on 26 January 2006, with high expectations that it would be a success with western audiences, though it also faced ire from several organisations because of certain controversial scenes.
Regionally defined elements such as a woman's prayer at the Sikh Gurudwara (Golden Temple) and the bhangra harvest dance are incorporated alongside more contemporary, global styles such as hard rock and hip hop to depict the cosmopolitan lifestyle of the youngsters in the film.
After the special screening, the defence ministry did not insist on any cuts, but on their recommendation more names were added to the slide that dedicates the film to deceased MiG pilots.
Accordingly, Khan and Mehra screened the film for the then Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee along with other top officials from the armed forces.
The soundtrack of Rang De Basanti, which was released by Sony BMG, featured music composed by A. R. Rahman and lyrics penned by Prasoon Joshi and Blaaze, an India-based rapper.
The Indian Defence Ministry raised concerns, causing the Indian censor board to urge the filmmakers to seek clearance from the ministry.
Mrs. Kavita Gadgil whose son, late Flight Lieutenant Abhijeet Gadgil was killed when his MiG-21 fighter crashed, objected to the film's release because she believed that the film was loosely based on her son's life and the producers should have shown her the film. In response, Kamlesh Pandey, one of the writers of the film, said that the film was not inspired by Abhijeet Gadgil.
Although the filmmakers had obtained a No Objection Certificate from the board officials, Maneka Gandhi, a well-known animal rights activist and member of the welfare board, found flaws in this certificate.
Out of the 100 million Rs. (USD 1.4 million) marketing campaign, a fifth of it came from the producers while the rest was obtained through brand tie-ups and partnering.
The film was screened at several international film festivals.
In 2006, it premiered in France with the Lyon Asiexpo Film Festival, the Wisconsin Film Festival and the Morocco-based International Film Festival of Marrakech.
Before its theatrical release, the producers tied up with several top brands to help in the marketing the film.
After hiring international experts for the film's publicity, the marketing expenditure for the film grew to 40 percent of the total production budget of 250 million Rs. (USD 3.5 million). This expenditure was unprecedented in Bollywood because usually the Indian filmmakers spend only about five percent of their production budget on marketing.
As a part of the publicity, the cast, visited prominent University campuses in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Pune with an intention of interacting with the students.
Provogue, a well-known clothing retail chain in India, launched a special limited edition clothing merchandise targeting the youth of India.
Since Rahman's last musical success, Saathiya, was back in 2002, there were high expectations from the soundtrack in the media.
The soundtrack, first released commercially in early December 2005, generally received above average reviews.
One of the songs, "Masti Ki Paatshaala" (translation: "Classroom of Fun"), was voted as the "Song of the year" for 2006 by leading Indian television channels, while two compositions were considered for an Academy Award nomination
A video game launched by an Indian mobile content company was based on an adaptation of the film's plot.
An alliance was formed with The Coca-Cola Company by releasing special edition bottles to commemorate the film's release, a first of its kind in Bollywood.
The music CDs and cassettes were co-branded with the cola company along with the launch of the sale of collectibles from the film.
Accordingly, 55 percent of the film's revenues came from multiplexes in these cities.
In India, The Hindu reported that with audiences from the metropolitan cities turning out in large numbers, Rang De Basanti was notching up record collections in its opening week.
Currently, the film holds the record for the highest-grossing film to be released in January.
The opening week box-office collections from Mumbai, the home of Bollywood, were reported to be over 40 million Rs. (USD 560,000), theatres in New Delhi earned about half of Mumbai's revenue.
Overseas collections from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia were collectively put at over 60 million Rs. (USD 840,000) for the same week.
Released in about 60 theatres in the United States, the film grossed 31 million Rs. (USD 430,000) in its opening weekend and earned 99 million Rs. (USD 1.4 million) within 10 weeks.
A report carried out by The Times of India highlighted copyright infringement on the Internet where movies like Rang De Basanti could be downloaded freely.
Rang De Basanti was released on Blu-ray (plus steelbook edition) in May 2014.
Critics gave the film an overwhelmingly positive response, in particular the ensemble cast's performance and credibility.
The Indian Express spoke positively of the cinematography and the film's story, it noted that "the message that the film carries with it tends to get diluted towards the climax.
The DVD release sold more than 70,000 copies over six months, and as a result the film was the highest selling title at the time of its release.
The Hindustan Times summarised the film as being a "well-scripted, skilfully crafted [and] thought-provoking entertainer".
The Hindu credited Kamlesh Pandey for writing a story that would have been a difficult film to make, but it added by saying that the transformation of the youngsters into heroes seemed poetic. Although the screenplay, direction and the cast were also well-appreciated, the reviewer felt that Rahman's soundtrack lacked pace.
The film also received positive reviews from critics outside India.
The review from the BBC gave it the highest possible five star rating and added that it was "an entertaining mix of romance, history and social commentary".
Since the film "reflected contemporary Indian reality and had cinematic excellence", it was chosen as India's official entry for the 79th Academy Awards despite stiff competition from films such as Krrish, Omkara, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Lage Raho Munna Bhai.
Despite Mehra's belief that his film did not stand a chance at the Oscars, the efforts to publicise the film in the United States began earnestly.
Music composer A. R. Rahman performed several concerts across the East Coast to promote the film.
When the nominations in the foreign film category did not feature this film, it sparked off debates on whether the film should have been India's entry for the Oscars.
producer Screwvala planned to use resources and expertise from his partners in 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney Pictures for organising its publicity efforts.
The film was selected as India's official entry to the 79th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film but it was not Nominated.
Rang De Basanti had a noticeable impact on Indian society.
Intense political discussions spurred on by the film's influence were observed.
A study of bloggers behavioural patterns during the first month of the film's release revealed a significant increase in public ire towards government and politicians for constantly being mired in corruption and bureaucracy and their inefficiency in providing basic amenities.
Besides instigating political thought and discussions, it evoked social awakening for many.
Unlike other Indian films with jingoistic overtones, many young Indians could relate well to the characters of this film.
Following the release of the film, another social outcry was against the introduction of reservations for socially backward classes in educational institutions.
Inspired by the film, Pakistan's national newspaper, Jang, launched a television channel that was to focus on citizens' issues and support public awakening.
In the Indian media, frequent referencing of the film was evident, with many brands using pictorials from the movie.
The media uses the terms "RDB" (abbreviated title of the movie) and "RDB effect" while referring to instances of public activism on matters of public interest.
With 1.23 billion Rs. (USD 17 million) alone coming from the Indian territory, the film earned more than 1.36 billion Rs. (USD 19 million) worldwide.
Saisuresh Sivaswamy of Rediff.com wrote that films like Rang De Basanti can easily get into "preachiness", but believed Mehra got his message across while avoiding this, also appreciating the music, cinematography, dialogues and art direction.
Arjun Rampal was signed for one of the 3 second leads. After he had been kept in waiting for 3 months he was replaced with the actor from south Siddharth. Aamir Khan's insecurities and fears were reported to be at the root of the replacement.
Rakesh Mehra wanted to sign Abhishek Bachchan for Siddharth's role. He later decided not to because he did not want Abhishek in a supporting role.
Film features India Gate in one of its scenes.
Iconic beer drinking scene from film with Aamir Khan and Sharman Joshi's free fall from the public water tank of the Nahargarh fort.

It features an ensemble cast comprising Aamir Khan, Siddharth Narayan, Soha Ali Khan, Kunal Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Atul Kulkarni and British actress Alice Patten in the lead roles.
Film made on a budget of 250 million Rs. (USD 3.5 million).
it was shot in and around New Delhi.
Upon release, the film broke all opening box office records in India.
It was the highest-grossing film in its opening weekend in India and had the highest opening day collections for a Bollywood film.
The film was well received and praised for strong screenplay and dialogues.
The story is about a British documentary filmmaker who is determined to make a film on Indian freedom fighters based on diary entries by her grandfather, a former officer of the Indian Imperial Police.
The film was released globally on 26 January 2006, the Republic Day of India.
The film was well received by critics and audiences for its production values and had a noticeable influence on Indian society.
In India, Rang De Basanti did well at many of the Bollywood awards ceremonies, including a win for Best Movie at the Filmfare Awards.
The film was declared "Blockbuster" by Box Office India.
It was co-produced by Shahnawaz Ali.
It started with Ashfaqullah Khan, Ramprasad Bismil, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, went on to Chandrashekhar Azad and so on.
Rang De Basanti suffered a significant setback when one of the initial producers ultimately failed to contribute any funds towards it; the shortfall left production looking uncertain just two months away from the beginning of principal photography.
after Aamir Khan agreed to act in the film, Mehra approached Ronnie Screwvala of UTV Motion Pictures with the script. Screwvala, who supported Mehra from the beginning of the production, had faith in the film,
The budget was reported as Rs. 250 million (approximately USD 5.5 million), and, despite going a little over the initially planned budget, Mehra did not have any serious disagreements with UTV.
Aamir Khan agreed to act in Rang De Basanti immediately after reading Mehra's script.
Mehra described Khan's character as a simple man with a strong sense of integrity and dignity.
Khan, who would turn 40 during the shoot, lost about 10 kilograms (22 lb) with a strict diet and exercise regime to more convincingly depict a man in his late twenties.
Lakh Tandon played the role of Aamir's Grand Father and Kirron Kher played the mother of Khan's character.
When shooting began, Mehra made an announcement to his crew saying that they would enjoy their holiday only in July.
One such scene is where Soha Ali Khan is filmed at the India Habitat Center that masquerades as the University of Delhi.
For Aamir Khan, a Muslim, it was for the first time that he was playing a North Indian Punjabi character and it took him some time to get the right dialect and diction.
Since the film's plot focused on men in their late twenties, Bhasin designed their look accordingly.
Bhasin was responsible for Khan's rebellious look, Sharman Joshi's (who played Sukhi) lovable persona or Madhavan's dignified appearance, Bhasin credited Bains for her major contributions to the film.
The producers collaborated with LG Group, Berger Paints, Bharti Airtel and Hindustan Petroleum for promotion of the film.
The producers tied up with several media partners such as MSN India, Channel V and Radio Mirchi to further enhance their marketing efforts.
Throughout the country, the cumulative collections in the first week was about 80 million Rs. (USD 1.1 million).
The Bloomberg website wrote positively about "the raw energy of a young cast and A. R. Rahman's splendidly rousing soundtrack".
The trivia items below may give away important plot points.
The film went under severe controversy - first there was some uncertainty over shooting appropriate scenes inside the Amritsar Golden Temple; then the Indian Air Force requested an advance screening and caused an uproar on scenes showing corruption in the Indian Government and Air Force and the cover-up of an accidental plane crash; and finally, the 20-second horse race was cut on claims of cruelty to animals from the Animal Welfare Board.
The climax was rewritten by Aamir Khan, who didn't like the idea of them running away, suggesting they should have a last stand resembling that of Bhagat Singh. Years earlier, Khan had written his own story with the climax in a radio station, which he adapted for the climax of Rang De Basanti.
This movie was shown to minister of defence as this movie depict the killing of defence minister. However, he took no objection and film was released.
The film's script originally had a different climax, originally showing the protagonists on the run.
A major point of criticism the film faced was regarding the possibility of Army attacking students in a radio station.
New Delhi's Modern School at Barakhamba Road served as the location for all the scenes pertinent to All India Radio station, which is shown to be stormed by the youngsters in the film.
