Welcome back to my channel. My name is Drew, and today we are doing another episode of Fixing Common Decor Mistakes, or a little series here I do on my channel known as What Would Drew Do? And if you've never seen this series before, it is where I help you guys out with your design dilemmas so you send in photos and videos of your spaces and actually redesign them completely with brand new renderings with a full on outcome at the end. So you're gonna be able to see kind of what the before and after of your space could actually look like. And if you are interested in submitting your space for what would Drew do, you can totally do so. There is a link in the description box below and the link just takes you to a page on my website. It has all the details with all of the information on how to enter your space for an episode of this series. In today's video is actually an extra special one because it is kindly sponsored by Wayfair. I'm sure a ton of you guys out there know exactly what Wayfair is. It is an incredible online site where you can purchase so many different home decor finds, furniture, rugs, decor. They have absolutely everything. And I also normally find really budget friendly options over on Wayfair as well. But you guys might not know about their YouTube channel which I'm going to link in the description box below because it is such an inspirational channel you guys and they actually are coming out with a brand new series known as the Slow Build. They actually already sent me over an episode and you guys, you are going to want to watch this. If you are an ASMR lover, which I am a humongous ASMR lover, you can find me watching ASMR for like two hours every single night before going to bed. I love it so much. So they basically mixed ASMR with interior design and the videography and the styling of these spaces is impeccable. I just love this concept so much when you essentially just watch somebody build out a space from before and after, but it's all with sound. It's really, really interesting. I highly suggest you guys check it out. I'm going to link it below for you. Subscribe to the Wayfair channel. I will link it in the description box below for you guys and there is so much other content other than just a Slow Build series. And they also have another series called Swapping Carts that I've really been into as well. This one is really fun. I'm going to link their channel below for you guys. Subscribe to it. They have a ton of really great content and also their website has a ton of really great decor and I'm going to be featuring some of that in today's makeovers as I go through the process. But now that you're subscribed to both of us, let's go ahead and dive on into our first space, which is a living room. This first living room space was sent over by Lone Fox family member Kendra and she actually sent along a video as well. So let's go ahead and play that. Hi Drew. This is the space we need help with. I wanted to be in a reading space slash coffee space over there and then over here is where my boys do art. So I attempted a chalk wall. We haven't used it as such. I was trying to do this combination of a nice little art spot and hang out spot, but I just don't know how to pull it together. We are willing to paint, put furniture in, take furniture out, do whatever you think would make the room just look more happy, cozy and also functional. All right Kendra. So this is an incredible space. It looks really large and spacious. And I love that this is like an additional living room area that you're converting into a space for your kids. I think that's really nice to give them like a painting section. And I love, love, love what you did by kind of giving a color to that wall where the easels are. So I actually really liked that. I think leaving it black like that is really interesting. And I think that she also mentioned that it was a chalkboard wall. I also have to preface this in every single video because it's just me as a person in no way. Am I saying that your guys' spaces are bad or they need redone or anything like that? These are just personal opinions.  And I know a lot of you guys like those opinions. So let's get back to it. So the thing I wasn't a humongous fan of was the wall color. I think it's just a little bit too yellow in this space. I think if you were to neutralize it just a little bit and go in with something a little bit more taupey, maybe on the grayer side, I really think that that's going to add a little bit more emphasis and also make the molding as well pop a bit more. I just think something a little bit more neutral will make everything else just kind of flow a bit more because the flooring is very orangey. And I actually don't really mind the flooring that much. And I think Kendra, you might not either after you see this redesigned. So maybe just doing a more neutral tone on the wall like a taupey color is a great option. I also think leaving all the paint easels as they are, those are totally fine there. I love them. I love how there's three of them. I think it's really cute and the little supply station kind of next to it. So we can leave that in its spot as well. It is time for the fun stuff. Let's firstly start off with the curtains. Now I found these really great grid curtains which I think are going to add a little bit of pattern, a little bit of print to this area. Since we are doing a solid wall, we have our black focal wall. Let's go ahead and introduce a little bit of print in the curtains. And I love these kind of grid ones. I feel like they have the tiniest nod to school as well, which I know that she homeschools and has another easels over there. So I love that element over there. It kind of reminds me of like grid paper or graph paper. And I do want to go ahead and change up the rug just a little bit. I feel like this one's kind of stark on the flooring. So I want one that blends in just a little bit more but still also sections off that area. So I opted for this rug here, which I love so much. I feel like it just kind of blends nicely with the space and it also is going to look incredible in the end. Now on top of the rug, I do want to make some changes. I'm going to swap in a brand new sofa. I wanted to add this one just for a little bit of warmth. I feel like the other one just didn't really match the exact style of the space. So I brought in this sofa just to give a different look. But of course, if Kendra wanted to keep that original one, I think it would be totally fine. And I also brought in a new coffee table as well. I think this kind of drum coffee table really grounds the space. It's an interesting shape and it's also a circle as well, which I know was previously there, but I feel like the one previously there almost gave me like an outdoorsy, just like an odd vibe in that space. And I just wanted to kind of give it a little bit more of a modernized look. So I went ahead and I added that kind of drum style coffee table. And as far as the accent chairs, I actually think you can totally keep these in the space. I went ahead and just reupholster them to show you an option if you were to go ahead and maybe change up the fabric, because at the moment they do kind of read very black and just like a black chair. So I think it would be nice to add a fabric to there. Even a little pattern would be fun just to kind of elevate that space a bit more. And then I have just two more changes to this space. I would definitely go ahead and swap out the light. We need something to fill in this area. It's a really large living room. So I found this really great kind of contemporary, but also modern light pendant. I love how there's this large white shade on it, but it also has a little bit of like an industrial quality where you can see some of the metal as well. So overall, I think the space really fits nicely. And then to play off of the black light fixture, I wanted to go ahead and then on the right wall where there currently is a mirror added this nice large storage hutch, which could be great for, you know, painting supplies, school supplies, or even just a decorative area where you can go ahead and add a bit of personal decor, some family photos, whatever it might be. But I thought this hutch would be really beautiful on the right side. And Kendra, that is everything I would do to your space. I am in love with the outcome of this. I think it looks so incredible. I think my favorite part, honestly, is those gridded curtains. Something about them in this space just totally enhanced it. So Kendra, I hope that you love this design and it gives you a little bit of inspo and maybe a starting point for your next project. Our next space is a really great dining alcove that was actually sent along by Lone Fox family member, Krashika. And I'm hoping I'm pronouncing her name properly. And she actually just sent a little video, kind of just showing the space a bit so you can kind of see an overview of what it looks like. And she actually wrote out something so I just kind of want to read that to you guys. Hydra, I recently found your YouTube page and channel and I really love your aesthetic in how you transform different spaces. First of all, thank you so much. She said that she currently lives in New York City and works in public health, which props to you, Krashika, honestly. And her husband and her bought this apartment last year and I have been slowly making it feel like home but I'm just not sure what to do with the dining space. It's a little alcove, about eight foot by 12 foot behind the living room area and it needs clearance to get to the kitchen and then also clearance to get to the bedrooms as well. Sheika did mention that she wants to keep the dining table and chairs, which I also a million percent agree. I love the dining table, I love the chairs, I love the oval shape of it and how it's like more of an oblong oval and it's just rounded on the ends. Love it, love the wood color as well so let's get into my design choices. So it seems like if you open the door, what you see kind of in front of you is this dining space that I want to make an impact here so my design is a little bit above and a little bit crazier than usual but you can take it as you'd like and you know, implement elements that you do and maybe don't like. So the first thing I would do in this space is definitely go ahead and just remove that top wall shelf. I feel like your eye is instantly directed at the top wall shelf, which you're looking in the top corner of a ceiling whereas I feel like your eye should be directed directly at the table or you know, the light fixture, something more central in that dining area. So let's go ahead and remove that wall shelf and something I wanted to do in the space was actually put picture molding on all of the walls. Now picture frame molding isn't everyone's particular style so it's definitely just a design choice but I wanted to add something to this area because I do feel like the walls are a bit bland and I didn't want to go in with some crazy wallpaper or anything like that. So I thought adding some picture frame molding would just overall enhance the dining space and I feel like dining rooms that do have picture frame molding it just looks so like luxurious and nice in the end and it doesn't have to cost a lot at all. So it's definitely an option to add a little bit of visual interest to this space and I went ahead and actually had two renders made for this space with two different paint colors because I wanted to show you how a light and a dark paint color can actually look in here so we're gonna go ahead with a really light kind of pale blue color and then a more darker green color and you're gonna see those at the end when we do the before and after. Now something else I do want to do in this space is actually just do a larger rug. I feel like you can get away with a larger rug even if it kind of overlaps the entry doors to the other spaces. I don't think that's a big problem at all but I do feel like the current rug is just a tad too small and I feel like all of the table and the chairs just needs to fit on top of it and kind of give it a grounding section for that table. So I'm gonna go ahead and opt for this rug here. I absolutely love this one. I think it is so beautiful, a brand new release as well and it's on Wayfair. A lot of the furniture pieces I'm using in this video are actually from Wayfair. I'll have everything linked below for you guys. Now that our table has a nice little grounding point, let's go ahead and give it a little crown which is the light on top of our table. I found this great one again on Wayfair. I thought this one was so interesting. I just love how the arms of the chandelier kind of swoop down and back up and then also have a shade on them. Again, very contemporary but just like a play on contemporary which I think is really fun. And I'm opting for the brass colorway for this but you can totally do black if that's an option that you like as well. I know that it was available in brass and black but I thought the brass would just look really nice in contrast with the dark wood table and with our picture frame molding and kind of the bold color we're going to be doing on the walls. And really because this space is so small we just have a couple more additions. I wanted to go ahead and do sconces on the left and right side of our picture frame molding. So just add a sconce on the left and right side. I feel like sconces again in a dining room it just elevates it. It kind of gives you that dining vibe but it also makes you feel like you're just in a very like proper thought out dining room in a sense. I don't know if that makes sense at all but I feel like whenever I'm in a space and it has like moody lighting in it I'm like, wow, this was really thought out, you know? And wall sconces, you don't have to hardwire them at all. I've done so many hacks on my channel where I've literally mounted them on the wall, added some puck lights in and then when you have friends over you can just go ahead and click those on.  That's a great option as well. I think those would look beautiful on either side and that doesn't require any hardwiring at all. So we have our brass sconces coordinating back to our lights on the left and right side. Now in the center let's go ahead and just pop an artwork piece. I thought something with a nice vintage frame something like the one on screen here would be beautiful. So if you wanted to add that brass vintage frame again, coordinating back to our sconces coordinating back to our pendant light and I just love the filigree look especially when it's with this dark wood with the rug we chose, the picture frame molding I just feel like all of this goes together so nicely and that you guys really wraps up this space. It's a really small area but I wanted to share with you guys how you can make an alcove or something that's not really its own room still really interesting and fun at the same time. I'm just really happy with the outcome of this space and Krishika, I hope that you love it as well. Maybe you can implement some of these design styles into your space and if you do please send along some pictures. And wow, I don't even know how the time went by that quick. We are on our last space. I love doing these videos talking through my choices is so much fun with you guys. So let's go ahead and dive on in. This is space number three and it was sent in by a Lone Fox family member, Anmole, I'm probably pronouncing that wrong and I apologize tremendously if I am doing so I'll pop it up on the screen right here. So this Lone Fox family members has Hydru I recently moved into a new 703 square foot condo first of all, congratulations. It's my first home for me and I'm very excited to make it unique. I have a very small living room and just don't know how to make it work. I've attached some videos and photos hoping that you can take a look at it and I hope that you can make it into something special. Now, when I saw this space at first glance I was like, oh my gosh, this is so small. It really is such a tiny living room but I have a couple of ideas and I actually found some really great like smaller storage solutions over on Wayfair that I think are great options. So let's dive into this design. You guys living in Los Angeles this is what I do every day. I love when the sirens come. So the two largest elements of this room I actually feel like can stay exactly as is and that is the couch and the wall color. I feel like the wall color is neutral. It's totally fine for this space and I wouldn't opt for anything dark or bold because it is so small I wanna keep it as light as possible. So I think this wall color is great and I also feel like the sofa is great as well because it really does fit that wall there and I mean you're not gonna be able to get some big sectional or multiple sofas or a lot of additional seating in this small living room. So I feel like what you have sofa wise is great in that corner. So the first thing I would go ahead and add to here is a new coffee table. I'm opting for a round coffee table.  So we're gonna go for a round coffee table. It makes the flow of a small space a lot easier as well. And this coffee table in particular has a great storage solution. You can just remove the top and inside you can store blankets, pillows. You can just use it for whatever storage you would need. So I love that it's multi-purpose is both a functioning coffee table and it also is a functioning storage solution. And I also found a new rug for the space on Wayfair super affordable and I love this one because I like how it has like a circular shape to it so it almost nestles the coffee table in the center but it has some linear lines as well and overall it's graphic but it's still light. It's not too crazy. It gives a little bit of pattern to the space but it isn't overwhelming since it is so small so I love how that looks on the floor there. And I can currently see over on the right side that there is a small little table, you know what the TV on it. Now I would go ahead and get a wall-mounted media unit and I found this one again on Wayfair as well. They have some great pieces you guys and I love this one because it's super simple. It's just a little shelf so you can add more decor on here. You can add your TV box, whatever you wanna add to this like little wall-mounted area and then underneath it you can add a couple of baskets which I love for additional storage or if you feel like, you know, the space doesn't fit baskets you can just go ahead and you know, put nothing under there but I thought having baskets under there would be nice and then on top of that we're gonna of course mount the TV right over the media console. I think in this living room in particular it's extremely important to go ahead and mount that TV on the wall just because there isn't a lot of space here so we wanna reduce and use as much vertical space as we can as opposed to, you know, having a media console that pops out of the wall 12 inches and doesn't give you much movement in the living room. That's what's really nice about the wall-mounted consoles is that they're really skinny so they only protrude from the wall a couple of inches and I feel like every single small space just needs a little bit of life. I always feel like small areas need plants. It just adds that element of life vibrancy and just like airiness to a space. I always feel like plants do that so I wanted to add an olive tree to that left corner now and now that it's freed up, the TV's out of it. I love this little olive plant over in the corner and I feel like it just adds a nice little bit of life to this area. And a couple more elements I wanted to add to this space. Firstly, a light. I can see that there is a light fixture outlet in the top there or like a little area you can pull off and install your own light fixture so I definitely think you should do so and I found this insanely beautiful one. I love the wooden structure of it. I like how it kind of has a linen interior to it. It just adds that mood lighting and it's not too crazy or large. It's just the perfect size for the space I feel. And the last little element I would add just to again utilize all of our vertical storage and get the most out of this living room is to add two picture-led shelves right above the sofa. And if you've never heard of picture-led shelf before, it is essentially like a very narrow shelf so it doesn't pop off of the wall very much. They're normally around three or four inches and they have a small lip at the front so you can actually layer pictures on top of there. So I wanted to share how you can create this really, really simple gallery wall but I also love how all of the images are movable. So if you wanted to go ahead and switch it up every now and then I like how with the shelves you can move photos around, you can add new pictures in and just play around with the design of it. But it is time to reveal the space the before and after is quite crazy.  I definitely think it gives you an example but I do feel like in real life it probably is going to look a little bit smaller than this but I did try to go ahead and get it as perfectly close as I could with still giving you an idea of what the whole space could look like. So I hope you guys love this one as well. I think this might be one of my favorites. I honestly really liked all three of them in this video. Especially the first one, those gridded curtains are still stuck in my head. And you guys, that is another episode wrapped of what would Drew do. I hope you guys love this one. It gave you some design ideas. I just feel like these are great videos to help anybody out because you can totally kind of reference any of these additions or things that I'm adding or taking away and utilize them in your own space as well. I wanna thank all of my Lone Fox family members for sending over their spaces and letting me use them in these videos. They are so much fun. And if you would like to submit your space to potentially be featured on what would Drew do, I will have the link in the description box below for you guys to take a look at. It's really simple to go ahead and do so. Something I will say guys, if you are photographing a space, do it horizontally like this and really pull your camera back as much as you can to get as much of the room in as possible. I only am allowed to do one photo for a render. So I really need as much of the space in there as possible. And I do wanna also give one quick last shout out to Wayfair. Thank you so much for sponsoring today's video. And you guys, if you have not checked out Wayfair's YouTube channel, I don't know what you are doing, tap the link at the top of the description box below and head over to check out their brand new series, Slow Build, which again is like a mixture of ASMR and design, a perfect, perfect blend for myself. And they have a lot of other creative content as well. So I highly just suggest subscribing to them as well. But I'll catch you guys in my next one. Have an amazing rest of your day. Bye guys.


unbelievable. What's up money geeks Mr. V here welcome to the new video guys so in today's video we're gonna take a look at ticket symbol N-R-N-A moderna so before we get started guys if you're new to the channel we're talking about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and how to build wealth so if that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content so let's go and take a look again at M-R-N-A we have actually done two videos here on the channel talking about M-R-N-A moderna so the first video we did we talked about top five COVID stocks and Modena actually made that list and then back in May we did another video talking about the first try of Modena at that point we know asking if that was a buy or hold or sell where the stock was at and then fast forward now in July Modena is hot so let's kind of take a look and see why we're talking about Modena today so yesterday phase two of their trial came back very very positive with good news so basically all the patients that were given the vaccine showed improvement showed development of antibodies against the virus which is excellent so it's looking more and more like this is something that's going to go for approval by the FDA which is good what does that mean for you and me as investors so let's look back back in May when we did that video after phase one trial the stock was trading at that point around 52 or 54 dollars somewhere in that range and then since then May June and then now in July the stock had squeezed all the way up to about $72 prior to yesterday and then when the news came out yesterday about the vaccine the stock just exploded it went from $72 all the way to about $88 aftermarket which is crazy so for those of you guys that are day traders or whatever if you traded that stock I'm pretty sure you're sitting on some good money but the stock just skyrocketed and just went crazy so that's what we're talking about today so at this particular point the question is is Modena MRNA is it a buy or is it a whole or is it a sell where we are today so in my personal opinion the fact that this stage two results came out and they're looking really positive and there's no pushback from any other person or any group saying that they didn't have enough test results people feel comfortable I think Modena is approaching giving us something that's again my personal opinion I think this talk is if you already have it in your portfolio hold it if you don't I think pick up some stocks pick up a few shares and hang on to it because if the vaccine comes out finally and it's approved and they have something that they can actually sell this stock is going to be over $200 a share so jumping in right now at 80 something dollars a share I don't think it's a stretch as a matter of fact there's other stocks that you can buy that you don't have the same amount of potential that this stock has but again it's a question of are you willing to take that risk in the stock market no risk no reward this the only downside here is that if they if the vaccine come out and flop or doesn't really sell or do anything you can easily cut your losses and run away but if it comes out and it really really works as expected guess what you can make some really good money so hey let me do the comment section what do you think about these good news do you think that Moderna is up to something because the implication of us getting a vaccine is not just for the sake of the virus is the fact that the economy is going to open all the other companies and businesses are hoping on a solid vaccine so this company is not just writing to make you know just a small amount of money here they are betting on reopening the economy if they can get this vaccine go so let me in the comment section what do you think about this stock and also if you're new to investing you're looking to like a good broker to start with I do use we both for my investing so right now they're running a promotion where if you sign up for we both you get two free stocks first one to go between $2 and $250 and the second one to go between $12 and $1400 so I'll put the link in description you can definitely go check them out for transparency I'm gonna fill it with we both so when you sign up I do get a free stock as well and that's what helps me you know keep the channel going and to keep producing the content that you guys are seeing so let me know again my personal opinion Moderna mRNA is definitely a bye-bye-bye everything that we're seeing here is looking very very positive so I'm gonna jump in I'm gonna try to pick up some more shares and again this is gonna be a wait game so don't think that if you buy this stock is just gonna skyrocket tomorrow so we can say have to wait until we get to the point where the vaccine has been approved and you can actually sell it and the numbers that I'm hearing about how much they're gonna sell the vaccine are interesting it took about thousands of dollars not just you know hundreds per vaccine so we'll see how that goes I'm pretty sure the government is gonna step in and try to control how much they charge because what about people that don't have the money to buy the vaccine so we'll see but again there's other countries they're gonna be looking forward to this vaccine so if they can come out the vaccine as early as possible you shipping it around the globe baby so there's gonna be a lot of money to be made from this company I'm super excited so again let me know are you buying you holding or you're selling and as always guys stay safe and stay motivated


Hi, good morning and welcome to today's products and focus you can see there the US there is actually bounced a little bit of potential support around about 16 7 3 8 As I also in the back of some slightly disappointing data that came out from from the US yesterday showing a slight rise in inflation And that really brings into doubt today's monetary policy meeting with the Federal Reserve governor due at 1800 GMT today Where we're expecting to see something relatively quite bullish out there But the hawk seem to be in control throughout today's session. So we've actually seen some some interesting moves on the US dollar And that kind of monetary policy meeting later on today will be closely watched by a lot of FX traders, but it's kind of given a little bit of a shot in the arm for some equities It is slowly grinding up that little bit higher our longer term potential resistance remains at 69 at 66 So looking at the UK 100 it's a volatile couple of sessions Actually, yeah as can be seen by this long-legged candle that we had there was a lot lower yesterday at one point before it managed to Drag its kind of head just above that potential resistance at 6774 It's not going across there with a great hold of confidence mind you But we have bounced off at 55 pureed SMA. We're still fair distance away from the 21 pureed SMA While most of the technical indicators are completely neutral So Glad to see how that pans out throughout the rest of the session and there isn't a lot of economic data due until later on But I'll come back to that in a second, but we do actually have the the Bank of England minutes I'm not really expecting anything too major to come out of there And you've got Cudol inventory due at 330 Looking at Japan 225 is probably going to look a little bit higher today as dollar yen has been rising. So there's been Weakness in the end which is good for Japan 225 And that's kept it on the right side of 14 977 it needs to get to the next potential resistance 15 2 1 2 the longer term obviously is much higher I'll be interested to see if dollar yen manages to retain as momentum going forward now looking at this We do have a golden cross on moving averages Whereas most other technical indicators are slightly neutral just trading above that five-period SMA is a good start The longer term potential resistance remains at one or two spot 87 So looking at cruel West Texas seems to be quite volatile, but they'll support with the current fundamentals of Ukraine and Iraq The last three sessions have had a lot of doji formations here that we are currently able to post a More bullish candle today that we have only just started the session Lots of volatility there incidentally. We are making a pattern of lower highs here So the interesting to see if today you can break that pattern I'll say longer term potential resistance remains around about $110 So gold had had a great run there for a couple of sessions and has Has come off about a profit taking of some concern over the monetary policy session today Had caused traders to big profits, but when that inflation data came out as much higher than expected that was a big shot in the arm also for for gold very short hammer formation here our potential hammer formation We are trading above potential support currently, which was resistance at 1267 Though we are struggling to break higher this morning, but that 21 period SMA might provide a little bit of support So Euro dollar Again also quite volatile On unable to break above potential resistance at one spot 3568 You're actually seeing a little bit of yin's a lot of your strength against other crosses So the dollars just pushing a little bit harder against this as well We need to get above this to be able to re-challenge potential resistance on one spot 3645 But I think the reality is that the current fundamentals is as more US dollar positive than it is Euro positive But we'll see for as long as that remains intact the next potential resistance will be at the bottom of this This candle right here is so close to one spot 35 and one spot 3455 and we finish up now with GBP USD Which has been very popular with CMC clients the last couple of sessions We look to be having a re-challenge of potential resistance at one spot 70 big psychological level We broke it there on Monday. We got to one spot 70 11 But once we managed if we managed to get a break and close above 170 you got 170 408 is a long-term potential resistance We're still close to five-year highs right here on GBP USD And this is where a lot of effective traders will still be putting a lot of their attention So we already talked about economic data with the Bank of England minutes due at 9 30 probably nothing too exciting to call for there But you never know And then the crude oil inventory data if you've been trading crude oil that will be a look are really important but data to look at Compounded by the current kind of conflict fundamentals in Iraq and Ukraine if the inventories are a lot less than expected That could cause some interesting moves and West Texas if it comes in wildly Better than expected that can also be quite volatile now Later on tonight That's seven UK time We've got the FOMC Minutes right there and that will be the the section to have a look at today for clients You're trading that a little bit later and we fast-forward on to Thursday That'll be the 19th there you've got the retail sales in the UK We should be good for cable again and jobless claims in the US and we finish up with the Philly Fed Business activity at three o'clock. So there are a fair amount of fundamentals due today But it's all about that FOMC meeting due later on today Keep your eye on the chart form as ever make insights part of your layout and join me again tomorrow to find out what happened next

Let's look into a practical question, how to value, how to work out the cost of investment property. A company purchase land and the land cost 3000 million and that is paid to the landlord from whom you are buying the property. Then to get it in your name, you have incurred another lot of expenses. For example, the marketing expenses, you have to search for which property you have to buy. So whatever cost you incur on marketing, if you are paying it for the outsiders, then it is part of the cost of the property. But if your own team members going out in the market and trying to find out which plot we have to buy, then in that case, it should not be added because they are their full time overcome. It's not specifically hired for this purpose. Architect fee, obviously, you have to add it. Legal fee, again, if you are hiring some legal, only then it is to be added. And if it is your own staff, then it is not paid. Stamp duties and allowing for the stamp duty, there are so many other expenses which you add on because if you go in practically, if you look into it, there are so many departments involved and each department's requirement, you have to pay for them. Number of documentation you have to prepare and all those documents are cost. So whatever you incur those documentation cost, that should all be added to the cost of the property. I just mentioned here a few, but try to understand unless that asset is transferred in your name legally from all over, then that's the total cost to be added to the cost of the property. Now, once you got the plot and now you want to construct, for construction purpose, again you start working who is going to be contractor and all that. So total cost, material labor overheads all again should be added together. So you add the construction cost. So now you got total construction cost added, look here, property cost of land and marketing expenses will not be added because they are your own staff. Architect fee we should add, legal fee again your own department so should not be added, stamp duty to be added and then your construction cost to be added. So the total cost of this investment property comes to 16, 7, 7, 5. Do remember here, we are not splitting the cost of land and the building in that case. It's together, but if you are keeping let's say buying a prod only and not constructing that is an investment property also. But you put together, he said both can be investment property. Thank you very much.


Hello and welcome. My name is Lance Robertson. I'm here with Peter. We're going to be talking about building open free and open source software on arm 64 and power PC 64 little Indian. First thing about me so you know a little bit more. I'm the director of the open source lab at Oregon State University. I started there in 2007. As a CISM in and I've been promoted the director back in 2011. I manage about 7 to 10 of the graduate students that help me manage all the systems. Over the years I've been active in the open source community starting out with a genteel infrastructure team doing various things with a genetic project and now more recently I've been fairly active in the chef community. And my name is Peter. I'm focused on developer ecosystems and advocacy here at Ampere computing. I've worked on open source projects and technologies professionally since 2003. Including GNOME, SUSE Linux, open stack and the power virtualized device driver stack for Windows on virtualized on KVM. My background is primarily in data center operations and infrastructure automation continuous integration and hypervisors. So here's a little summary of what we're planning on talking today is we'll start out with an introduction of what we're going to be talking about. And then from there on we'll be discussing why it's important to provide access to these various architectures, how projects actually get access with our systems, the history behind the power ecosystem and ARC or ARM64 at the open source lab. And also technical challenges for the platforms that we've had throughout all these years. So the first thing, let me talk a little bit more about what the open source lab is about. You can kind of think of us as a co location hosting company for open source projects, but we're a little bit more than that. We provide really a lot of various services for projects, whether that is just server co location or what we've been doing a lot more of lately is private cloud hosting. We've been primarily using a lot of open stack and get ready in the past. We also have a popular software download mirror ftp.osusl.org that is geographically separated between the West Coast Midwest and East Coast. And we also offer a lot of managed hosting for a lot of projects that don't really want to deal with the system and tasks will handle that for them so they can just focus on making sure their project is awesome. The other side of it is is that we provide experiential learning for a lot of projects are a lot of undergraduate students at Oregon State. So a lot of our students get hired on we pay them and they get hands on experience managing systems whether that's actually in the data center which has kind of gotten more difficult to do with that folks having access to that. So they actually, you know, manage systems more directly so, for example, they work really closely with open source projects from around the world, and interact with them whether they're in the United States and Europe and Asia wherever we work with them day to day. I also help to teach them learn and current new DevOps practices and technologies as best as we can and a lot of our alumni that have gone through here have been really well known in the ecosystem for example. So CoreOS was started by two open source lab students Alex Colvey and Brandon Phelps were both from the open source lab so we're we are quite known throughout the ecosystem. Currently I'm the only full timer and I have about eight undergraduate students that work for me. My name is, as I said, Peter and I'm like to give you a little background on who ampere computing is. So ampere is essentially a chip vendor who we designed the first server microprocessor architecture from the ground up specifically designed for cloud computing. In this architecture obviously it's a 64 bit ARM processor and we chose that to basically try to optimize the efficiency of the data center workloads specifically for cloud computing. Essentially our goal is to be the industry leader and power efficiency for core density and basically try to help establish the new normal of scalability in the data center. So essentially I guess in a nutshell we're an ARM64 processor provider and we're essentially looking to bring ARM technologies into the server ecosystem space. So why is it important to provide access to ARX64 and PowerPC64 little indians? Well for one both architectures are becoming more widely used in various ways as was mentioned in the keynote. ARM64 is going to be used quite a bit more especially with max which will be interesting. Amazon web services also has provided a lot of ARX64 related instances that you can run and provide cheaper for your use. But right now typically most open source developers rely on things like Raspberry Pi which aren't really the best for doing a lot of calculations. Obviously simple performance limitations and depending on the nuances of the Raspberry Pi maybe doesn't relate to other things such as what's on AWS. And also running any kind of continuous integration and development pipelines with Raspberry Pi isn't really the best way of doing it. The other thing is that I think a lot of Raspberry Pi's are still using 32-bit binaries on a lot of their stuff and really what you need is a 64-bit. So we really need to provide a platform to do this. On the PowerPC side, PowerPC has been a major role in the high performance computing and AI and GPU intensive environments especially in some of the major cloud players. I know they're using PowerPC quite a bit for that. The problem is that the hardware is generally very expensive and very difficult to obtain. There really isn't an easy develop platform. I think there is one company that is providing desktops for this but again it's not as easy entry as the Raspberry Pi just to get some easy access. But for those systems that you can get it requires additional knowledge on how to set up and manage those systems which can be problematic for a lot of open source developers. And really if you want to manage these properly you want to have some kind of support contract to deal with any kind of hardware failures or any other things that you run into when you run this type of hardware. So really that's kind of the things you need to think about. So for open source developers you want to make sure that your software works. And in the most part most software recompiles with not many changes but sometimes depending on how the developers written the code there might be some x86 specific assembly code or other things included that might cause compilation issues or even some runtime issues. And to fix those you know developers they might you know try and run things in an emulator slowly on their laptop or whatever but ideally be nice to run it on actual bare metals machines to make it work a little bit better. These developers really need to have easy access to debug and fix issues. In addition a lot of these architectures have specific compile flags that you want to have enabled to boost the performance on that architecture. So you wouldn't be able to test that and make sure your software is working properly. And for downstream users that use this so for example all the users that are spinning up instances on AWS they expect their software just to work out of the box. No matter what architecture you're running on they don't want to deal with oh this is running on a different architecture now I got to go down the rabbit hole of why does this one little thing not run correctly and all that they expect everything to work. And so it's really important that all of the software out there that people use will work on whatever platform they expect. In addition to that a lot of open source projects rely on some type of a CI CD pipeline to ensure their software is working properly and also for doing releases. And so the other part is we want to make sure that all these new architectures work seamlessly with this whatever CI CD pipeline they use. And because this often catches bugs and issues much sooner in a lot of development related areas. In addition, if they want to be able to provide binary artifacts so that users downstream users can use it easily, they need to have some kind of access to that to do that easily. So this really makes it a lot easier for users to use their software and so forth I remember when we first started doing this with power PC. We were using Packer to build our images, but at that particular time the go language hadn't been really compiled and ready yet for power PC. And so was I was kind of in a chicken and you hate problem for some of it. So I had to do things a little bit manually and we actually got the go laying project on our platform and then they eventually started building things that we could use so it was really cool to be able to be a part of that and make that move going forward. So let's talk a little bit about the history of power and arm at 64 arm 64 at the open source lab so let's first talk about power because power has been a part of the lab for the longest time. We actually started doing posting back in 2005 just on a simple power five server, and all we had was shell access to do it. At the time only a couple of projects use it. We didn't give them root access, but it was a nice start with it. And then by the late 20,000 2010 so forth we started hosting more systems with power seven servers, and our collaboration with IBM was getting much more formalized which is really nice. At that time we were using L par technology with IBM which is kind of a pain for people that are really used to how cloud works right now. And we spun up there basically like virtual machines on these systems and we spun up about dozen different projects. They can kind of get them going and then at that point, we also started hosting some dedicated hardware for some projects. So for example, one of them is a GCC compile from projects was one of the first users of that. Then in 2011, we started using opensack quite a bit. And that was primarily because the power eight platform changed quite a bit how these systems were run and the power eight system also switched it over to little Indian because before then, everything was big Indian with power. So we first started out with preach about the machines that were actually power seven plus machines that had different firmware on it that allow us to run it like a power eight machine so we can quickly test that. But we, we made a switch and using opensack to be able to make it really easy for us to the revision of the virtual machines on these systems and also deal with any kind of storage requirements that we have in the long term. After a certain time we replace all those pre developed machines with power eight and now power nine machines. And at this point with powered OSL we have around over 100 projects using the system over just about 10 machines and it's working really really well. That picture is one of the systems that we I think I think are one of our stores knows what we have with that. Our, our history with AR 64 open source lab is fairly more recent. And but last year about this are actually back in February ampere computing reached out to us and we started discussion of how we can provide act that arm 64 access to open source projects. I kind of told them the story of what we did with with power and with the open source lab we kind of treat ourselves as the Switzerland of open source projects. We really are trying to be agnostic to whatever company or platform we provide as long as you know the project needed. So we picked that idea and they were really receptive to that so as things moved along we finally received a shipment of 12 servers. There's a picture of the server that we got. We got the ampere computing e mag to use servers. It's in a Lenovo based branded machine but it's running arm. And we finally got some contracts finalized at the end of December and finally I racked the servers and I got open sex all deployed at the beginning of this year. And finally in May once we finally got some kinks worked out we got our first initial projects running on the cluster so we're ready and open to get a lot more projects running on these systems right now. So what are some of the goals with providing this access? The first and foremost goal is ease of access. We want to make sure that the project can get access to the hardware as simple as this having an SSH key and they log in and that's it. That's one way we can do it. Alternatively we can give them access to the web console or the API access to the open stack cluster so they can do a little bit more things but generally that's all the projects need. They also depend on reliability. They expect this resource to be stable. They expect it to run. They expect it to be able to run with their build pipelines as they expect. The other part is performance. They expect these systems to perform at a decent enough level to make them useful. So we want to make sure that we provide enough CPU RAM and disk resources. Now the way we have things set up we don't primarily do this in a manner that is good for doing like benchmark testing. We keep telling people that because sometimes they want to do benchmark testing but since this is a shared resource we can't do that. So we're doing performance and expectation that things work good enough to be able to do the compilation. The other thing we wanted to do is we wanted to make sure we had expandability and being able to grow as more projects were added onto the platform. So we wanted to make sure that the architecture and the way we designed the cloud platform was easy to do that. And thankfully OpenStack and Seth for storage made it a lot easier to do that. The other things that we provide ourselves in at the open source lab is flexibility. Every project has a different requirement on how they want to manage their project and how they want to host things. And so we try to be as open as possible with those requirements within reason as much as we can. So we try to do our best with that. And the last thing is we want to reduce that burden of maintaining the actual physical hardware that projects have. A lot of projects tend to work with some of these vendors directly and then they have the headaches of having to deal with managing once hardware failures happen and support contracts and all of that. And the nice thing with us is we've been doing this for so many years. We know how to do it. We know how to interact. We know how to make sure that all they have to worry about is that a VM is up and it's working. And we also work to maintain that we handle upgrades for any firmware or even on the hardware and so forth. So that's kind of the goal that we wanted to provide with this. So how do projects get access? Well, for power, we have a form that they put information in. So here's a picture of what it kind of looks like on the website. Basically the workflow is as we ask the simple questions to learn more about the project, the form is submitted into our ticketing system, which is RT based. We wait for approval from an IVM representative to kind of have a thumbs up saying, hey, you know, yeah, that looks like a good thing. We want to be able to provide. And also that's kind of just make sure like, is this a legit project? Is it something that seems to be impactful enough to require to get access? We obviously can't take every single project that gets access, but we want to make sure that it meets a certain kind of bar. We typically get access granted within three business days. I have a student that gets assigned that task and they go ahead and they do that. They get it added to an announcement mailing list so that if we have any hardware issues or other issues, they know about it. And then the other thing that we do is troubleshooting issues. So if they have any issues with their instance or anything, they can send an email to this email address that goes to our ticketing system directly. And then they can work with the open source lab to diagnose the problem, whether it's a software issue or it's an actual issue with the architecture. And then if things happen, we can escalate that to IBM as needed. So that's been a really nice benefit with the power side of this. On the ARC64 site, it's basically the same thing. We have another form for that. We have the same kind of questions. We wait for approval from an ampere representative, which is currently Peter. And we go through the same thing where we get them added. We get them on a mailing list. We have a separate email address to deal with any kind of support tickets. They work with us on any kind of issues that happen. And also, if there are any issues, we can escalate that to ampere as needed and we can work through issues that we run into. So we try to make that pretty easy. So here's what the platform actually looks like from a cloud point of view. So everything is running on top of OpenStack. That provides the API-driven platform for managing all of these various resources. We have a web console so they can get on a VNC basically under the system if they want to and kind of do some reboots if they want to to check that out. We're currently using the Rocky release. We're a Red Hat or CentOS shop at the open source lab. And so we're using the Red Hat distribution of OpenStack called RDO. And we also use Chef to manage all of our things. So that's how we manage our systems. Currently, we only provide compute blockstores and image storage. We are considering adding additional services that OpenStack provides, but it's basically based on what projects need and if they need those. And then we'll work on adding them. Currently, you only have IPv4 support, but we will be adding IPv6 into our OpenStack. From a hypervisor point of view, everything is using KVM. We're actually using the QMU KVM EV package, which is basically a Red Hat patched version that has a more up-to-date with some nice patches included with it. And then on the storage side, we're using Chef, which is a nice network storage, easily expandable side. Power actually has our own cluster because they got hardware donated to us. So we have that working while the ARC cluster shares one that the OSL built. Now, before when we started all of this, we actually started all with local storage, and that was great to start out with, but we quickly ran into scalability issues. We have definitely gone through a transformation over time of moving everything to SEP, which has made things a lot easier for dealing with storage on this. On the guest operating systems we support, we try to support as many as we can within reason. So we try to aim for all of the Red Hat-based ones, whether that's CentOS, Fedora, Rel itself. Currently for Rel, we don't have any kind of license currently, site license, but we're hoping to get that now that there's the new collaboration with IBM and Red Hat working together. So we'll see how that works in the long term, but we can at least have the image up, and if you have a license, you can get that going. We also have all the Debian-based ones, the main ones. We have Debian on Ubuntu. We currently only target the LTS releases of Ubuntu, but we can add more as we see. We also have an open Suzeleep instances or guest image as well, because there's a few users that want that, but we're at right now. If you have your own image that works with OpenSnack, we can certainly get that going. There were some users that actually still want to do a lot of support on PowerPC64, Big Indian, and they were able to do that on their own. All of these images are built using Packer. I have a link there that goes to our Packer templates, which include actually everything that we have, whether it's X86, PowerPC, or AR64. So let's go over some frequently asked questions. First off, we'll talk about Power. Do we support Big Indian on Power, otherwise known as PPC64? Yes, we do. However, a lot of the upstream distributions have stopped building for PowerPC64. There's older releases that we still have on the platform for guest images and you're welcome to use them, but as time goes along, we're not going to be able to support it in the long term as those end of life. Also, IBM has really shifted all of their focus onto Little Indian. Can it get access to very metal machines? It depends on the size of the project and the use case. We have a couple of projects that are using that. Dabian really likes to have full control over their hardware for security reasons, so we do that. Alpine Linux also has their own node. And we also can also do a very single FreeBSD also has some access as well. If you do need some temporary access to debugging issue, we can probably do that. We have one system on the side that we kind of use as our test system to kind of do that and we can kind of use that as needed for that. How does the OSL get the hardware? Right now, IBM either donates or loans the hardware. The nice thing about the loaner systems for the open source lab is that includes all of the hardware support for the life of the system. So we don't have to pay for anything on that, but we technically don't own the hardware. However, donated systems become what the standard warranty expires and we have to pay for that warranty, which can be expensive depending on the hardware. Well, that's a lot of the facts on that one. On the AOC64 side, do we support ARM32? Yes, we do for ARM V7 and 8A. This is helpful for the newer users of the Raspberry Pi. I currently don't have any images right now, but the images are a little bit more cumbersome to work with on the cluster, especially because the way the systems work on ARM64 is they require EFI to boot, and most of these ARM32 systems don't support EFI out of the box. So we end up having to boot the systems with an external kernel and in-at-ram FS. But I was able to test this and get this going and plan on having some images for this fairly soon. Currently, though, there is no fully hyper-virtualized support for ARM V6 and below. That basically is the original Pi 2 and 0. But we might be able to do emulation, but I don't know if that's really going to help or anything. But if we get a lot of requests with that, we can take a look at that. We're really targeting ARM64, though. Can I get access to the bare metal machines? Yes, and it depends on the use case and for how long. We currently don't have any projects having full access to a system, but we can certainly change all of that since we just started. The next question, how do we get the hardware? Well, Ampere Computing currently loans the hardware. They include the hardware, full hardware support for the life of the system, and it also allows Ampere Computing to send us newer models as they become available. So that makes it a lot more flexible for us to deal with that. How do we fund both of these projects? So a lot of these require some kind of way of paying for my salary, the student salary, and other miscellaneous expenses. Currently, IBM does quarterly cash donations, or they haven't for several years. And this last year, we actually switched to a formal contract with deliverables, and so that's a lot better for us because it's a multi-year contract, and we know exactly how much money we're getting and we can allocate that. So that's been really good to do that. Ampere Computing, we just started out with an annual cash donation, and we might switch to them to the formal contract eventually. But that really helps us make sure that we can keep these systems going and maintain them for the long run. So there's obviously some nuances between running these systems compared to running it on your regular x86. So on the power side, they have various models that they have. They have the L-line and the open power L-line that are most common with running Linux. So the L-line is what actually looks like a regular IBM box. It looks like a regular IBM box. And that actually can run in two different modes. The power VM mode, which is the L-parts I talked earlier, that talks to an HMC, which is a hardware management console, a system that basically manages all of the systems and it can call home for support requests and things like that. Or it can run an Opal firmware, which is an abstracted firmware mode that makes the system essentially boot like a regular, it looks like a regular system, and I can access it with IPMI and all of that. But that requires having knowledge that there's a service processor on there that you have to log into and then change the setting in there to get it to Opal. Also, there's no VGA output. It's only serial. So that's also kind of, you know, if you're used to dealing with x86, that's another thing you have to deal with. All of our Power 8 systems currently, at least on the compute side, are all these L-lines. On the newer systems, they have another line called the IBM open power LC. And these are actually super micro chassis, which was pretty wild when we got them. I was like, is this actually a power box? It looks like a regular machine. But sure enough, it is. It runs power. But that one only supports the Opal booting. And you actually can just plug in a VGA cable in the back and it boots up and you're there, and there you go. You can manage all that systems and it uses IPMI as well. Firmware is also a little bit different. From power, it boots up into an environment called Petit Boot. It's basically a really fancy boot loader that's running Linux. So you can actually get into a bash prompt or a shell prompt. I think it's running Busybox. And you can run various utilities such as setting up maybe hardware, ray controllers, and those various things. You can also do net boots from there as well. The other nuance is that between the different lines, actually updating that firmware is different. And you have to read the documentation on how to do that. So that was kind of interesting to deal with. On the ampere computing side, the BIOS is very similar to the X86. It's very much acted like an X86 box. The only other thing that was different is that EFI was required for booting. So we had to update some of our debt booting systems to support EFI. All firmware updates currently, I could tell, only work through the BMC web console, but it worked seamlessly and I didn't have any issues. It'll boot via the VGA or via the serial. On all of our systems, we try to actually redirect everything to serial so that it's easier to connect remotely and can kind of see what's going on. So the systems are really simple to use, which is really nice. Let's move on to the technical challenges that we run into. So the first one is general binary package availability. In the most part these days, binaries are available, but there still might be a few things that aren't available. And most of that is if you're trying to get things outside of what's already included in the distribution, you might have some issues. So one example is we've been using the upstream repositories from Docker to use their binaries since they're generally a little bit more up-to-date than what you can get from the distributions. However, for PowerPC, Little Indian, they aren't building those anymore. They were building them, but they haven't been building them. But if I have the system, I can work through and build it, but it's kind of annoying to do that. So I might have to revert back to using the distribution versions of that. So that's good. The other part is with OpenStack. So right now, everything, at least if you're a sent-off-based system, and I think the same is probably with Ubuntu as well, all the binary packages that you need to run are available on Power and on ARX64. But early on, this was not the case. So I ended up having to build some of these things manually and have my own repository. Thankfully with OpenStack, it's mostly just a Python application. So a lot of those were just no work, packages, so I didn't need to rebuild them. But there were a few things that needed to be rebuilt that I needed to do. So that was a fun thing early on. But thankfully, when we got the ARX64 machine, I didn't have to do anything. It just worked out of the box. Even to configure OpenStack, I just had to make a few minor adjustments and it worked. One thing to note with Power, we cannot migrate instances between Power 8 and Power 9 hypervisors, but we can certainly spin up new instances between the two. So on the KVM side, there was some really a lot of problems on the power that we had to deal with or things that we needed to deal with. So SMT has to be disabled on the hypervisor or hyperthreading essentially. Otherwise, the system doesn't work properly. Later on, we also ran into CMA memory, which is contiguous memory allocation on the Power 8 systems. At a certain point, we couldn't spin up VMs, even though we had plenty of actual memory available in the systems. The actual CMA memory on the system was was full and it was kind of based on how Power does the virtualization layer. So we had to do a little bit of a kernel turnable when we booted the system up. So we had to work around that. We actually had to use a mainline kernel to be able to see how much CMA memory we had because the version that came with CentOS doesn't display that at all. So we had no idea how much memory it was. The other thing to note with on Guest, you must install this package called PPC64Diag. And that allows for hot plugging devices. So if you want to have the ability to be able to dynamically add interfaces or disks and so forth, you need to have this installed. And this isn't really apparent when you first do this. And a lot of the upstream guest images that were created don't always include this sometimes. So you kind of have to think about that. One nice thing is that booting guests between big Indian and middle Indian is easy. You basically just install whichever ISO you want that works. It works the very same way as doing a 32-bit and 64-bit, 64. X86, I mean. And I already mentioned about the mainline, but we've really been using the mainline kernel to get the latest features and fixes for a lot of the issues we ran into. So we try to follow the latest LTS kernel upstream and build around internally. We try to have the configuration as close to what CentOS has with a few other minor adjustments to it. When Power 9 came out, support was really special for CentOS 7 and the REL7. Basically, the kernel they had originally for it just would not work. So they had to create a new kernel specifically for it. And so due to the installation was really interesting. But with CentOS 8, REL8, that's not an issue. It's actually a first class citizen of the operating of the platforms right now. So that worked really well. On ARC-64, all the guests must boot using EFI. So this requires hypervisors having a special package installed called the ARM Architectural Virtual Machine Firmware, or AAVMF. That provides that special EFI firmware that you need to have. And it also required some special QMU flags to get this working with Packer initially. So I had to set some settings on the machines and then I also had to point to the BIOS. Thankfully OpenStack just knew about this already. So when I spun up instances, it would automatically do that. But when I was wanting to build my own images with Packer, I had to make sure I included that in there. On the hypervisor, very little changes I had to do. I don't have to deal with SNCP or anything. We're only currently running in a known issue that Ampere knows about using the 10 gig NICs that we're using that are causing some random walk-ups. Thankfully, we seem to have mitigated most of this by using a mainline kernel, but it's still happening now and then. But hopefully this will get resolved later on. So I guess that's at the end. So we could open this up for any questions if anybody has any. I don't see any questions right now. Peter, do you have anything else you want to add to this? No, just if there's anybody listening from any particular open source project that is interested in hosting, please follow the links included in the presentation to send in a request and we'll do what we can to expedite access as soon as possible. We've got one question. Are the slides going to be available? And I'm assuming, yes, these will all be published once everything is done here. I'll make sure of that. I'm very excited to see growth and expansion on the ARM64 systems that we have and getting more projects on that. Yeah, I can see just from my own experience working with you, Lance, and some of the other projects I'm working with in the community, there's definitely a need for server-based ARM computing in open source development ecosystems. What I've found is in most cases, as you mentioned earlier, it's only, you know, their only frame of reference for ARM-based computing is Raspberry Pi hardware or some of the other Tinker boards.  So it's an interesting space to be in to see, you know, a lot of the change that's occurring in the data center, you know, having, you know, working for an ARM server company and having, you know, seeing what you can do with real ARM computing power and data center from a density and compute. I think it's going to be real interesting, you know, to see what happens in the future. So it's good times for ARM computing, I think. Yeah. One thing I was going to note that I didn't put in the slide is when I got these systems all rack and running, one of the most amazing things I noticed was on the ARM-54 systems, when I powered everything on and got everything working, the power being used in that rack was so much less than what I was expecting. I think I figured out the, I have a top of the, top of the rack, a regular one gig switch and then two Arista Ting gig switches in there. And I think out of that rack with all the 12 systems running, the Ampere systems was only using 60% of the power in that rack. The rest of it were all the other systems. I think they were running at maybe what was it, was like 170 watts each, I think, idling or something like that. It's quite amazing. You can pack a lot of these systems into a rack and not have to use a lot of power. Ironically, the power systems consume a lot of power, especially if they have GPUs connected into them, which we have a few of them. They are very loud when they turn on. But yeah, that's one of the amazing things I like about these systems is their power consumption. Yep. Just to add to that, as the computing density increases, the physics of the rack doesn't really change. You can only really get so much electricity into the same amount of physical space. So one of the challenges that we're trying to address is specifically, trying to address from Ampere is specifically building a computing platform that will allow you to achieve the maximum density possible while being as efficient as possible and hopefully getting as much compute into the same physical space with as many cores to build and be sufficient for cloud operations. Yeah, it's very... I think we're trying to address the problems that you're going to see, especially in times like this where people are being driven towards cloud computing and service providers. The need for more efficient computational power is definitely, I would say, high on those types of providers lists and being able to work for a company that provides a solution for high-performance computing that's efficient and also optimized for cloud-native platforms is extremely fun and entertaining at the same time. Yeah, one thing I was also going to note is that one nice thing about us getting involved in this early on, especially, I know we encountered that one nick issue on the Ampere system, but also on the power side when we first started this, we actually ran into some bugs and issues that were discovered before they were released to the GA, so we were actually great to kind of be their Q&A in a way of testing and being able to catch these things before maybe the bigger providers run into that, so that's one experience that I really... It's a pain for me if I have to work around an issue, but it's also nice to know that I'm helping out down the road. And the other thing I was going to mention was it's also been great working with both Ampere Computing and IBM. They've both have been really supportive. Neither one of them has been saying, no, you can't do that with them. They're really excited to know that we're both providing access to all of these architectures. Obviously, they each have their own business cases and what they want to do, but it's great to be able to work together and being able to provide platforms for whatever architecture is needed in the open source ecosystem. Well, I don't think there are any other questions that I don't have anything else. I think with that, we can end this session. Thank you all for coming here, and I hope you enjoyed our session. And if you have any more questions, our contact details are there on that slide. Thank you, everybody.
