Curious on what is possible today with io_uring for storage with gen2 Optane SSDs? Wonder no more, below is a short write-up of you can do with just a single core (and device) with that combination of software and hardware:

1/ Cerebras just built a chip with 50x the transistor count, 1,000x the memory and 10,000x the bandwidth of Nvidia’s flagship GPU. One such 'chip' could replace an entire rack of Nvidia GPUs.
What the heck is going on?
