for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
if you can do it for years why is the biggest multicore only 32 cores?( intel SCC) there are some bigger muliticores but that are simpelers cores than the SCC? HPC programs are 100% build for parallel processingFinray wrote:
We've been able to do that for yonks, never had any practical application due to programs not being optimised for anything over 8 cores.

doesn't mater it is a new discovery. if we were already capable of this kind of this it would be in HPC solutions already.Finray wrote:

The point of having FPGAs in your desktop isn't to run your favourite game across thousands of GPGPU threads. The strength of dynamically reprogrammable FPGAs lies in having what is essentially hardware acceleration for computationally heavy tasks of any kind, on demand, programmable at runtime, and specific to the application.Finray wrote:

So basically, dedicated 'cores' that are only used for certain tasks?
heh, i'll bet he hasn't a single clue of what you just said . . .mikkel wrote:

Nope I was just remembering a link I posted to a very similar article. "### company creates CPU with #### cores" I'm not dissing the tech, more the media, reselling a very similar story over and over.
well, that's true - a local company made the newspaper for running distributed computing over 128 machines (not cores) and it's what they do everyday.Finray wrote:

Agent Dung Bomb may have worked there, if i recall. not seen him logged in in awhile now . . .
PCI ports are completely different. By leaving out the E you weren't just abbreviating it, you were also referring to a completely different type of port.FloppY_ wrote:

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
While what you were referring to was indeed obvious, it may not always be so. By abbreviating PCI-E to PCI, you're setting yourself and others up for un-necessary confusion. Typing out "-E" takes considerably less a second to do.FloppY_ wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
you wouldn't abbreviate carburetor to car because people would think you were referring to automobiles.FloppY_ wrote:

carbeuratoire. is that french?
You are comparing car parts & cars vs computer ports & computer ports now?Miggle wrote:

the thing is floppy that usually contextually you'll be able to tell between a carburetor and a car, but when talking about two similar ports on a motherboard that's not usually going to happen.FloppY_ wrote:

You wouldn't say your ram was DDR when it was DDR3.You wouldn't say your motherboard had 8 PCI slots when it actually had 8 PCI-E slots.
Miguel is right, Floppy. Drop it, you're just making yourself look dumb, trying to defend a flawed point to such extent.

no surprises there, coming from floppy

I'd look for one with Nvidia ION if I were to get one now tbh... Haven't used my 9" netbook since I got a full sized laptop

considering this one instead. Mostly for class/library/tv/light travel.
I have a studio XPS16 and it's just far too cumbersome to take with me anywhere. battery life is pathetic, it's huge, and very heavy.
