Except Carmack, as much as I hate to say it, was simply wrong. If you run the GPU at full throttle then you get the power draw that he reported. However, if you run the CPU AND the GPU at full throttle, then you can draw all the power that’

In my tests of a Supermicro ARS-111GL-NHR with a Nvidia GH200 chipset, I found that my benchmarks performed far better with the RHEL 9 aarch64+64k kernel versus the standard aarch64 kernel. Particularly with LLM workloads. Which kernel was

Prime95 is my gold standard for CPU and memory testing. Everything from desktops to HPC and clustered filesystems get a 24 hour “blend” of tests. If that passes without any instability or bit flips then we’re ready for production.

I was pleasantly surprised a few days ago to find Supermicro sells a 3U chassis that runs 8x Ryzen 7000 series CPUs supporting ECC. If one doesn’t need more than 128GB of RAM per system then they can get much higher clock speeds at a much l

This would be very useful to me in helping to source CPUs for a +40PB Ceph cluster that I’m building at a University. Could this be extended to include server grade AMD SP3 CPUs? I’m in the market soon for +30 Milan processors.

It will be interesting to see what Valve _recommends_ as their preferred Linux distribution and even more so if they roll their own.

I find this news interesting in light of Dell's February acquisition of backup and recovery startup Appassure software which competes directly with Quest Software's NetVault Backup. Seems a bit schizophrenic.

I think we should really take a moment to thank RIM for what they've done for the market place. If it weren't for them, where would mobile instant messaging be? Think down the road to when most of us will be moving on from Google to the nex

Forgive me if I've heard wrong or if this is just wishful thinking, but doesn't Google do this with Navigation? I believe there's an option to view a traffic layer and from what I've seen in my commutes, it's fairly accurate for gauging t

This is the best 'feature' to come along for quite some time. Reading through the comments turned up the "Samygo Project" aimed towards rooting Samsung televisions. I can't be the only one who's longed to have a dumb terminal with a big

I agree with the assumption of this projects application though I find it maddening that they're choosing to look 'up' instead of _down_. I believe more practical value can be obtained if that enormous computing resource were used to inve

Need some good feedback here. The site was kicked off a few months ago, but traffic has been a trickle. We're new at this and some advice would be profoundly appreciated!

This could be a good way to stretch the life of an old laptop especially for gaming or number crunching though it's probably not for LAN parties.

I'm working out of PSU on a humanitarian engineering and social entrepreneurship venture based in India. I have to say that Moodle is light years ahead of the competition. I'm speaking not just from a users perspective, but as a system admi

The first productive applications that will utilize these speeds will be grid-based computing projects. Initial iterations of artificial intelligence will require large computing resources (GPGPU) in addition to high bandwidth, and low late

Bitcoiner was just released on the Android market though I haven't had the chance to dive into it yet. Can anyone comment on it's merits?

When does money start to become "real currency"? Numbers on an ATM machine are only representative of the physical currency that I can extract from a bank. A message on an IM window could essentially mean the same thing: "Thanks for helping

Trying to release a Bitcoin app on Apple's app store may preclude cautionary tales of how not to get noticed. Bringing something like this into the mainstream could otherwise be hazardous to a protocol and community that are just beginning
