Is 8GB a lot? Depends on the context. (lemmy.ml)

1 tb is a good start for most use case. 5 tb..? now you're getting somewhere.

L1 cache?

Registers

[–] ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You're talking about register width, right?

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, 5TB for every register of course.

But something could easily go wrong with such large registers & access would be slow. Maybe we should have RAID 1 for registers?

I only ever opt for RAID 5. It also help to use error correcting hardware.

ECC cache

For such large registers, I think error correction for the error correction might be useful.
