watzupken Sounds like same tactic to me; I inject cash in you, you buy GPU from me. Basically artificially creating sales and boosting CEOs pockets. Reply

The complaint filed alleges that, between March 28, 2025 and December 15, 2025, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants had overstated CoreWeave's ability to meet customer demand for its service; (2) Defendants materially understated the scope and severity of the risk that CoreWeave's reliance on a single third-party data center supplier presented for CoreWeave's ability to meet customer demand for its services; (3) the foregoing was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on the Company's revenue; and (4) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

bit_user The article said: Among many other interesting bits of info, Nvidia's Spatial Multithreading should allow each Vera core to effectively run two hardware threads, by way of divvying up resources by partition instead of time slicing them like standard SMT. Yeah, this "spatial multi-threading" part caught my attention. Nvidia describes it in almost those terms, but they point out that the core is physically partitioned between threads. That's almost enough to make me wonder what's the point? There must be some shared resources, or else what you have isn't two threads sharing a core but rather two cores! "Time-slicing" (by which they presumably mean any sort of round-robin type arbitration) is done in typical SMT implementations to ensure that each thread gets fair access to shared resources. Here's a tiny bit more information about it, that I'm drawing from: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/vera-cpu/ Reply

My understanding is that they are normal cores and then they can be split in half for/by spatial, sharing/splitting in half all resources. bit_user said: "Time-slicing" (by which they presumably mean any sort of round-robin type arbitration) is done in typical SMT implementations to ensure that each thread gets fair access to shared resources. Time-slicing was around far before any type of SMT and is just a normal part of many OSes, it is being used on SMT threads as well but it's not an integral part of smt. Also there is no "fair" access to resources in SMT, whatever thread manager there is just tries to cram as many instructions into as few cycles as it can, it doesn't care if one of the threads starves for resources. The priority that the thread has takes care of the thread getting enough cycles/resources, or not. Reply
TerryLaze bit_user said: That's not very accurate. I'll quote this part of an interview with Mike Clark, chief architect of AMD's Zen cores: So what exactly about what Mike said is fair sharing of resources?!? You should have quoted what I said about starving at least. bit_user said: I'm sure Intel does similar things, but I'll let you dig up those details (if you care to). I hope not, why should you decrease the performance of every thread that can run on that core for the off chance that a stalled thread might take a bit longer to spin up. Reply
