Lost in random switch performance5/2/2023 ![]() ![]() George Varghese, in Network Algorithmics, 2005 13.11 CONCLUSIONS The next step in the switch fabric evolution was to look at fully serial solutions in order to reduce pin count and avoid these issues. This requires the use of multiple memory devices and the striping of data across these devices, which can cause interface timing issues requiring clock tuning and/or bandwidth reduction on each interface. When using parallel interfaces to increase bandwidth, the total pin count can quickly exceed the number of pins available on a single memory device. The number of pins required on the memory block is proportional to the number of devices connected to it. Another way around this memory performance limitation is to use an input/output-queued (IOQ) architecture which will be described later in this chapter.Ī second limitation with a shared memory architecture is pin count. This is not ideal but will still provide higher performance than a shared bus architecture. If this performance level cannot be maintained, an arbitration scheme may be required, limiting the read/write bandwidth of each device. For example, if there are N devices connected to the shared memory block each with an interface operating at data rate D, the memory read and write data rate must be N* D in order to maintain full performance. Players will need to adapt their battle strategy on the fly within evolving board game arenas in order to defy a cursed fate and truly harness the power of randomness.Gary Lee, in Cloud Networking, 2014 Shared memory performance limitationsĪ shared memory switch fabric requires a very high-performance memory architecture, in which reads and writes occur at a rate much higher than the individual interface data rate. Once charged, they can roll Dicey to freeze time itself and unleash his powerful magic. Players will use Even’s slingshot to attack deadly foes and knock off energy cubes that power Dicey. Coins are collected that enable Even to learn new attacks, abilities and more – all of which come in handy during unique tactical combat. Random rules all in the Kingdom of Random, and this principle is deeply embedded in Lost in Random’s innovative gameplay. Along the way, they’ll team up with Dicey, a small and strange living dice, and together uncover an age-old tale with a surprisingly modern message not typically explored in gaming: Randomness in the world isn’t something to be feared or controlled, but a power that can be harnessed by embracing it and learning to roll with its punches. Journeying as Even, players will walk the land’s mysterious cobbled streets, meet its unpredictable residents and take on courageous quests in order to save her sister, Odd, from Her Majesty’s clutches. Ruled by a wicked Queen, the Kingdom of Random is divided into six shadowy realms where life is dictated by a cursed black dice. Check out how Even and Dicey will battle together as their adventure begins on Friday, September 10th. It’s only fitting that this gothic-esque fairy tale returns to this year’s EA Play Live 2021 and shows off not only a new trailer, but also the game’s release date. While we’ve had glimpses of the Kingdom of Random thanks to a handful of trailers and Zoink’s social media accounts, its 2021 placeholder date has stayed the same since last year. ![]() A game that looks like a stop motion film from Laika with the art style popularized by Tim Burton? Needless to say, I and many others who are fond of this particular look are sold.īrought to life from the award-winning Swedish game studio Zoink, Lost in Random has already received honors despite not being released (it was featured in this year’s first Tribeca Games Spotlight). Ever since its debut at EA Play Live 2020, Lost in Random has been near the top of my “games I need to play in 2021” list. ![]()
