  • - Hey it's me Destin, welcome back to SmarterEveryDay.

  • It's coming up on 1 a.m.

  • I have a problem in my life.

  • Keeps me up at night, keeps me away from my family,

  • which that's the one that really bothers me.

  • It's rendering, look at this.

  • This particular file that I've been working

  • on right now, nine and a half hours

  • worth of rendering on this thing.

  • And I've still got an hour to go.

  • What do you do man?

  • I love 4k 60 frames per second footage, I love it.

  • Prince Rupert, look at me.

  • The rule of Prince Rupert.

  • (meowing)

  • This is a Panasonic GH5, it shoots fantastic imagery,

  • but the problem is, the camera hardware

  • is outpacing the computer rendering hardware.

  • You put that stuff through that computer right there,

  • it's crunching, like the computer's pegged out, right?

  • And I'm still spending hours and hours of render time.

  • I need a better solution.

  • So I flew to Seattle, there's a guy

  • named Jon about to pick me up.

  • He owns a company called Puget Systems,

  • and they make specialty computers for certain applications.

  • We're gonna go meet with him.

  • How's it goin' - Hey how are you?

  • - Throw stuff in the back?

  • - Yes. - Awesome.

  • This is is Jon, he owns a company called Puget Systems,

  • and you're basically the answer

  • to everyone's computer problems, right?

  • - Well, not all the problems.

  • (laughing)

  • We don't really ask what hardware do you want.

  • We ask what are trying to do?

  • And then we can tell you, what hardware do you want?

  • - Oh my gosh.

  • And so you start from there and then

  • build the hardware based on what they say.

  • - Right, right.

  • - What?

  • Why is that so revolutionary?

  • - I don't know, it shouldn't be.

  • - It should be!

  • You're kinda tucked away here.

  • It's kind of a nice little area.

  • - Yeah, we like it.

  • - [Destin] So do you guys personally believe this?

  • Is that the deal?

  • - Personally believe what?

  • - [Destin] This thing that's on the wall behind you.

  • - Oh, well I mean we have tattoos of it, so --

  • - [Destin] You have tattoos of it?

  • (laughing)

  • Jon took me into the lab, which is where they test stuff.

  • His brother Matt and their co-worker William

  • spend the bulk of their time testing

  • different combinations of hardware in this room.

  • What I found hilarious is that when

  • I would ask a very specific yes or no question

  • about performance or hardware to buy,

  • it became very clear that every answer

  • I received was going to come with a caveat.

  • - Sometimes, depends if it's right.

  • - If it's set up right, in supported applications.

  • - Yeah, for that very specific task.

  • - Depends on exactly what you are doing,

  • and the balance between everything.

  • - [Destin] The caveat there answers because

  • they've actually collected the data.

  • They perform a suite of benchmark tests

  • which are a standardized task you can use

  • to see how fast or efficient a hardware configuration is.

  • Over and over they'll run a software test,

  • swap out a component and do it all over again.

  • Here you can see Matt's computer is automatically

  • running an Adobe Lightroom benchmark in the background,

  • thousands of files are being manipulated automatically.

  • They'll do this for hours, then they'll change out one

  • component, in this case a processor,

  • and they'll do it all over again.

  • The results of these tests are a graph like this.

  • In this very specific case, you can see,

  • testing Photoshop, the data shows

  • that this intel I9, whatever,

  • however you say this 8 core processor

  • is the best you can currently buy.

  • Which is strange, because it's nearly

  • a quarter of the price of the most

  • expensive processor they sell.

  • So the question is how can an eight core processor

  • run fast than a 12 core processor?

  • Because I always thought that more cores

  • meant it's gonna be faster.

  • First of all, what does a core mean, in a CPU.

  • - It's the computer unit that can

  • execute tasks within your operating system.

  • And so back before 2005, it was all single core.

  • And in order to make your computer faster,

  • you just make that chip faster.

  • But in around 2005, we were getting

  • to the point where Moore's Law

  • was starting to taper off,

  • and we had to find other ways to make computers faster.

  • And so now we're more under this new thing, Amdahl's Law.

  • That talks about, okay, if you have multiple

  • cores, multiple processors, that all

  • have to work together, it's measurement of

  • the efficiency of your software in being able to do that.

  • - [Destin] What John is saying here,

  • is that even if you have more cores in your processor,

  • it only makes your computer faster if the program

  • you're running is more parallelizable.

  • That's a word, I looked it up.

  • - One size fits all computing, those days are over.

  • It's tailored hardware for the application.

  • - In the interest of not making this feel

  • like a commercial for your company,

  • who else is doing this in the space?

  • 'Cause I asked you if I could come talk about

  • all this stuff, and you agreed to build a computer for me.

  • So let's just be clear about that.

  • There's an exchange happening here.

  • But, who else is doing this?

  • Or is this just you.

  • - Well I mean, I can't say that there's nobody else

  • doing this, but the reason that we focus so hard on this,

  • is that we see, there's such a void.

  • You'll see a lot of places, that'll do gaming machines

  • and consumer machines, but this world of work stations

  • is like where server meets consumer,

  • and it's kinda this blend in the middle,

  • and we don't see a lot of people going after it,

  • and that's why we are.

  • I could take you out the warehouse and you could see

  • like how we actually put things together,

  • do quality control and image computers and what not.

  • - So this is the actual box, I spec-ed out with William,

  • being built right now.

  • - Yeah.

  • - Okay, and so this is the housing.

  • - Nice little dolly you got going on here.

  • Anyone can assemble a computer.

  • Just like Legos, the hardware is built

  • to click together so you can do it yourself.

  • But there's a huge difference in assembling a computer,

  • and integrating a well running system.

  • According to system's engineers,

  • all physical components in the world

  • interact with four different interfaces.

  • These four interfaces are spatial,

  • material, information, and energy.

  • A spatial interaction is how they physically

  • connect together, like Legos clicking together,

  • or like with screws or something.

  • A material interface would be some type

  • of mass that's being moved back and forth

  • between different sub-components, like moving hot air,

  • or fluid through a system.

  • They interact with information by well,

  • I mean this is obvious, it's a computer,

  • data, moving around, right?

  • One of the more interesting interfaces in

  • a computer system is energy.

  • You have electricity and heat transfer

  • you have to deal with.

  • I just realized that that's what you are.

  • You're computer systems engineers.

  • Obviously, you're name says systems,

  • but systems engineering is about

  • integrating all these different components

  • and seeing how they work together.

  • And if you change one thing, it effects everything else --

  • - Oh yeah, oh yeah.

  • - Are familiar with the fied of systems engeineering?

  • - Well, I mean I'm empathizing with

  • what you're saying right now.

  • Like some example of that,

  • almost all modern computer hardware

  • does thermal throttling.

  • So you're probably not gonna break something

  • if you don't cool it adequately.

  • But you're not gonna get the full performance out of it.

  • And so it isn't enough just for us to see

  • is this computer stable, because it might be stable

  • but not running at full speed.

  • So that's why it's so important

  • that we actually understand what

  • the computer's gonna be used for.

  • And that we benchmark it, and we know

  • that it's providing the performance as expected.

  • - [Destin] Oh, so that's why the benchmarks

  • last six hours, because you have to hit steady state.

  • - [Jon] We have to let it all heat up, and yeah.

  • - [Destin] Oh, so it's not just like processor

  • steady state, power draw, it's thermal steady state.

  • If you wanna check out how they test these interactions,

  • go see the behind the scenes video on the second channel.

  • What's going on here?

  • - This is our --

  • - [Destin] You have a laser engraver.

  • - Yeah, we have a couple.

  • This one we use for etching logos onto things.

  • - [Destin] What the heck dude?

  • Are you about to do mine?

  • - [Jon] Yep.

  • - [Destin] Really?

  • - Uh-huh.

  • - [Destin] So you planned all this.

  • - Yes, this was planned.

  • - [Destin] This was planned.

  • Look at you, being all fancy schmancy.

  • In summary, I have personally fallen

  • into the trap a time or two where I went to a website,

  • and bought the most expensive machine

  • I could afford at the time, thinking

  • that that would buy me time.

  • Do not do this.

  • In my case, I need to edit, and I wanna sleep.

  • (whimsical music)

  • Can you put this in the...

  • - Ooh.

  • - So does this mean you're gonna get

  • to eat dinner with us a lot more?

  • - Heh, yeah.

  • You have the honor, who's gonna do it?

  • - [Boy] What?

  • - [Destin] Who's gonna hit the button?

  • I can't even hear it, can you?

  • That's the license agreement.

  • You're supposed to read that entire thing.

  • - C'mon, I don't have time.

  • - We're getting everything ready for you Dad.

  • - I just like lookin' at the back, there's just

  • so many boards.

  • (laughing)

  • - Okay, we have now optimized a computer

  • for rendering capabilities, I'll tell

  • you the benchmark numbers here in a second.

  • But now, it's time to optimize the bed for sleep.

  • Okay, syncing two cameras up.

  • Here's how it works.

  • You're smart, you know how the internet works,

  • you can tell if people are trying to sell you something,

  • or if they actually use it, so just listen

  • with your smart brain, and you'll hear

  • what the deal is here.

  • This video is sponsored by Casper, which

  • is stinkin' awesome because I like to sleep.

  • This is a Casper mattress, the way

  • it works is you order it online,

  • casper.com/smarter preferably.

  • They ship it to your house, you open the box,

  • it inflates, it's a really cool process to watch.

  • Like a can of biscuits!

  • I sleep on a Casper mattress, I have for years,

  • ever since our fourth child, it's got certain

  • amounts of foam in certain locations,

  • they've engineered it to support your body perfectly.

  • It's the right amount of sink,

  • the right amount of bounce, I'm not

  • just trying to sell you a thing.

  • I'm happy they're sponsoring,

  • but it's just the right way to go.

  • You can sleep on it for a hundred nights,

  • and if you don't like it, they'll pick it up.

  • It's that simple.

  • Alright, so for fifty dollars off,

  • select Casper mattresses, go to casper.com/smarter

  • and use the promo code SMARTER at checkout.

  • It's worth it, the only thing you have to lose

  • is a sleepless night because if you don't like it,

  • they'll take it back.

  • Check it out, cat approved, ready Prince Rupert?

  • Look at that.

  • Anyway, I'm Destin.

  • You're gettin' smarter every day.

  • Have a good one.

  • I'm gonna get you cat.

  • So you heard my son talk about dinner earlier.

  • I'm not gonna lie, that kinda hurt.

  • So I'm very happy to say,

  • that after doing this little benchmark,

  • that 11 hour render is now down to two and a half hours.

  • Now I know that's an old computer,

  • this is a newer computer, but still.

  • That is a lot of my life back,

  • and I'm very happy about that.

  • Just get robes and wizard hats and be done with this.

  • Wizard hat, just put a wizard hat on top of your head,

  • wear robes in here, and like,

  • have a dragon statue or something.

  • Oh dude, golly that feels good.

- Hey it's me Destin, welcome back to SmarterEveryDay.
