RE: When will you update the Production Status, steve?

Very Nice,

Long ago worked on a 90 million dollar flight sim with 20 men in the loop
and lots of AI. If you ever played falcon 4.0 then you played against my
aircraft AI. But 10K players is insane. Sounds very cool.

  What is your dissertation on?

Wonderful!

My dissertation's on the scalability of massively multiplayer video
games.  I'm taking the Torque (www.garagegames.com) engine and making
it scale to as many simulated users as I can handle.  I can get access
to the VT Supercomputer, so that should be at least 10k simulated
users.  That number really depends on how well I can tweak out the
simulator (a full running copy of the game, with rendering turned off
and an AI controlling the player).

  Just to clarify, what kind of time range would be needed?  A week (4
  weeks?) for production, plus another week (4 weeks) for testing?
  If testing shows problems, possibly another 6 weeks for another cycle?

  I don't want some sort of indirect promise on the delivery date -- I

When the Phones hit the dock and are ready to ship, I'll do a press

RE: When will you update the Production Status, steve?

2008-05-05 Thread steve
Matthew,

Let me translate it. I wrote

 The test on the back end, lets say to catch the 2%
of failure is the gating item

LETS SAY.   

DVT verifies the design. That's been done.
PVT Verifies the Production. That's been done.
The PreMP will give us a number on the yield we can expect.

So, a PCB problem would be caught in DVT.
A Production problem is caught in PVT. 
The PreMP gives us a good final estimate at the production yield.

Yeild loss can come from a variety of things that are not design related,
but rather production related, like cold solder joint for example, or a 
bad batch of cpu, etc etc. These numbers are typically very very small. 

Now with something like a CPU  or GPU when you first go into production your
yield losess can be double digit.

I'm trying to clarify that now. Yeild is good there will not be another
cycle. Test throughput, how long it takes to test the phone is being
improved. One production starts we will just build continuously, The
build
process is very fast. The test on the back end, lets say to catch the 2%
of failure is the gating item, but that can be parallelized somewhat,
Then you have to figure the shipping. do I ship a lot per week, build
two
weeks and ship, etc. 

What is your dissertation on?

Just to clarify, what kind of time range would be needed?  A week (4
weeks?) for production, plus another week (4 weeks) for testing?
If testing shows problems, possibly another 6 weeks for another cycle?

I don't want some sort of indirect promise on the delivery date -- I

Your welcome,

 

Now I need to thank everybody for their patience and pass along an ancient
piece of wisdom that I just made up.

 

“If you keep pulling the carrot out of the ground to see if it has grown,
you’ll starve the rabbit.”

 

So. Let the carrot grow for another week and I’ll do another Monday update.

Wonderful!

My dissertation's on the scalability of massively multiplayer video
games.  I'm taking the Torque (www.garagegames.com) engine and making
it scale to as many simulated users as I can handle.  I can get access
to the VT Supercomputer, so that should be at least 10k simulated
users.  That number really depends on how well I can tweak out the
simulator (a full running copy of the game, with rendering turned off
and an AI controlling the player).
