[QUOTE=Brt5470;35979723]So have a dual bay hotswap HD dock and I'm defragging random drives just cuz. I should timelapse all these and put them on youtube.[/QUOTE] Does your onboard audio get interference from the HDDs? If it does you should record it and make some music out of it.
I'm at work right now, but I don't think so. At home I run on optical to my DAC and it's perfect. [editline]16th May 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/eXSff.png?1[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Iz6Sp.png?1[/IMG]
[url]http://www.scribd.com/doc/93790976/Oracle-Itanium-Exhibits-Chronological[/url] Holy fuck. I know I'm an Itanium/HP Fangirl but this is saucy shit. Oracle managed to get their hands on high-confidential, very deep corporate information from HP and fucking leaked it. To sum up some of the shit. There's talks of 4 potential roadmaps for Itanium, Ranging from Killing it quickly after the next 2 generations, to keeping it and going with what they have now (Which looks like what they're doing) Or fucking killing it and partnering with Oracle to use Solaris to take IBM off the fucking UNIX market There's also lots of other informative shit, like internal bullshit between HP and Intel, like HP considering completely buying Itanium back from Intel. Also shit like moving HP-UX to x86 a few years back and a fucking x86 Superdome. Huawei plan to release a 32 SOCKET Itanium server with SLES and HP-UX. It also looked like Poulson and Kittson were cancelled and brought back because it would cost them multiple billions over 5 years to just kill it. It also looks like HP HATES Intel. This is fucking saucy shit.

If Huawei actually puts any meaningful effort into IPF, things could turn around - they have a lot of pull in Mainland China. There's also what's left of NEC's IPF business. It could be worse.

This is fucking saucy shit.[/QUOTE] I'm genuinely curious, but what makes an itanium processor better than an x86 Intel xeon for example?
[QUOTE=inconspicious;35980356]I'm genuinely curious, but what makes an itanium processor better than an x86 Intel xeon for example?[/QUOTE] Performance (for some workloads), reliability, and scalability (x86 has poor performance above four sockets). The new "Poulson" Itanium should be Intel's fastest CPU when it comes out, assuming Intel manages it to clock it fairly high.
How is itanium doing for power consumption?

[editline]17th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=inconspicious;35980402]How is itanium doing for power consumption?[/QUOTE] Comparable to Xeons.
[QUOTE=inconspicious;35980402]How is itanium doing for power consumption?[/QUOTE] Lower than P7, slightly higher than most Xeons - although the "TDP" figures for mission-critical CPU's tend to be conservatively high, so there's some headroom.
[QUOTE=Keyrah;35980418]Lower than P7, slightly higher than most Xeons - although the "TDP" figures for mission-critical CPU's tend to be conservatively high, so there's some headroom.[/QUOTE] It doesn't look like there is any reason for using an X86 server for really intensive applications then.
Itaniums just seem so wierd. It's one of those things that's so out of my thought pattern it doesn't make sense. So Itanium's are mad expensive right? Basically because they are a small niche market?
[QUOTE=inconspicious;35980458]It doesn't look like there is any reason for using an X86 server for really intensive applications then.[/QUOTE] There isn't. If you're going to be moving into the market as of now, you go Power7. Especially with the new PowerLinux boxes that came out.

But they are crazy expensive, up there with the high end Xeons. Few grand for a high end chip. BETTER THAN SPARC THOUGH. Outperformed by Bulldozer. $25k for an Entry level system. BRILLIANCE THERE.
GPU accelerated raspberry pi cluster is where its at. Now if only it had a faster bus to communicate with other units through :C

These are low-volume parts, so they have to be expensive to pay for the R&D.

Now if only it had a faster bus to communicate with other units through :C[/QUOTE] GPU's are only useful for certain workloads. A lot of people have the wrong idea about them, some people just want to ditch the CPU entirely and run fucking Apache on a GTX 560 or whatever.
In a nutshell, GPU is much faster for working with floats while CPU is faster for working with whole numbers.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;35980611]In a nutshell, GPU is much faster for working with floats while CPU is faster for working with whole numbers.[/QUOTE] More like floats without serial dependencies, heavy branching, or high latency sensitivity, and that vectorize well.
[QUOTE=wingless;35980541]GPU's are only useful for certain workloads. A lot of people have the wrong idea about them, some people just want to ditch the CPU entirely and run fucking Apache on a GTX 560 or whatever.[/QUOTE] Even using the GPU as a stream processor, it really only is good for vector calculations. As you said, its only useful if the application can take advantage of it.
Which is why GPU's probably will never do well for video encoding. Too many dependancies.

I'm talking actual encoding, not just super fast AVC shit.
[QUOTE=wingless;35980848]Actually, Quadro's do brilliantly. [editline]17th May 2012[/editline] Ugh, awful pagequeen.[/QUOTE] I still have a Quadro in my media PC.
59 degrees is fine for an i5-2500k right i just realized I've had HWMonitor open for like two weeks so I literally have the max temperatures
Better? [video=youtube;96ApYKPiigk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96ApYKPiigk&feature=youtu.be[/video]
What the fuck is going on in that animation
[QUOTE=esalaka;35981358]What the fuck is going on in that animation[/QUOTE] Some stuff moves and an effect appears.
[QUOTE=TonyTheBean;35981278]Better? [video=youtube;96ApYKPiigk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96ApYKPiigk&feature=youtu.be[/video][/QUOTE] Noooot really, but hey no one gets it right at first. Keep working on it.
[QUOTE=TonyTheBean;35981278]Better? [video=youtube;96ApYKPiigk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96ApYKPiigk&feature=youtu.be[/video][/QUOTE] I really don't understand what's going on it.
I did what was expected of me, and nothing else (because i don't know anything else). Probably will get an A or B. I mean, Jesus Christ its animation I. Were not supposed to be making masterpieces. And for an explanation, its a cannon blowing up my midterm... which now that i notice does not have any textures...
