i didn't necessarily mean for practical use, i just meant, what sort of finished (hah) product could come out at the end!

you know, it'd be interesting to see what the open source community could produce if we all took his approach to licences for a little while.

Wine? i don't think so. i know it's difficult to get working, but with a bit of coaxing it's actually pretty compata.. oh. the alcoholic drink produced from fermented grapes.

can't link you to something direct, but everything i've read about it leads me to believe it's ISP level. i'm not sure how effective this will be..

despite the severity of implications of PRISM, being able to laugh about it is important. slides were designed excellently, i definitely did not giggle at all..

i do a lot of audio recording. having a machine that is near silent even at full load is incredibly useful.

kind of surprised to see an update, i genuinely thought it was getting scrapped. however.. case aesthetic appears to be a regression. the previous one was almost perfect. no 16 core ivy-bridge option. i assume haswell might be an option lat

as far as i know, mac pros have never been in ATX form factor. intel tried to create a new case standard, BTX, years ago. but it seems no one likes change..

by foxhill 13y ago
how comes there are no 16-core mac pros? :(

are the GPUs not upgradeable? also, why are you using CUDA? sure it has more features. but then new hardware comes along made by someone else..

this isn't exactly programming related.

the point of the exercise is to understand how a copy works, and stylistic issues aside, the point is made. if you supply a function with inputs outside of it's specification (NULL-terminated strings), then undefined behaviour is (by defini

no, they are only accessible in ring 0, so only the kernel has access to them. turns out there was a patch for the linux kernel[1] to do it. [1] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRESOR

i seem to remember reading about somebody running disk encryption, and storing the keys in the x86 debug registers - i believe this method would be completely immune to this "crack". as has been said before, recovering keys from memory dump

consumer kepler boards have no double precision hardware, in this case a Phi would destroy it.
468.
by foxhill 14y ago
a Phi is not quite as you imagine it, it's more like a single machine with 60/61 cores (when you cat /proc/cpuinfo, there are 60/61 entries). the main optimisation techniques for GPUs aren't difficult to grasp (in my opinion), although not

by foxhill 14y ago
OpenMP 4.0 is likely to have support for accelerator devices (i.e, move the necessary data on to the device, run the computation, and move back to the host). in fact, that's one of the methods you can use the Phi right now (intel have exten

cheap it is certainly not. additionally, all the tests i've seen indicate that kepler/tahiti have got little to worry about.

by foxhill 14y ago
don't know where the 50 core figure comes from, as a Phi has 60 cores (61 in the "better" model).

it may be possible, but it will almost certainly not perform well.

the speed of light, c, can be violated from your frame of reference, but the external observer doesn't see this - it's your perception of time that has slowed down. you reach the speed of light (from the perspective of an external observer)

i'm sure it will perform effectively for more than just embarrassingly parallel problems, but a 2 gbit interconnect is a rather steep limitation. much lower than the few thousand we're used to with existing GPUs.

perhaps if you frequently perform computational fluid dynamics on it.

you can include "hi-dpi" versions of images, which a retina-display device will search for, before searching for the original image, e.g upvote.gif will cause safari to check for upvote@2x.gif (or something like that - i can't remember the

i think i'm missing something very significant here - steam already exists on OS X (and the source engine games run fine on it). doesn't this mean that the engine already has an OpenGL variant? why is porting it to linux such a large task?

the guide fails to mention the uninstallation method, which consists of booting off of a USB pen drive and removing the line that was just added. passworded bios? insert the hard drive in another machine instead. this also doubles as the me

not a real expert on the situation with wifi, but isn't this what an ESS network is supposed to achieve with wifi?
