Okay, probably they can’t get the most performant systems like a DGX, but bottom line this restriciton only equates to delayed revenue for Nvidia and AMD. Even the software is attainable through partners. Too much technology flows through SE Asia so that this is much of an issue, China can basically have anything they want with time and patience.

Biren has a stack of its own, although I doubt it has the library breadth and depth that CUDA has. They have a start, they have money, and they have smart people. So it is really just a matter of time.

So are the restrictions counterproductive?

How about software?

It is known – I guess I read it in TNP – that software is a big hurdle for Chinese HPC. What is going to happen now is that Chinese will have to turn to Jingjia, Biren et al. Presumably there is even less optimized software developed for them?
