I read somewhere that a modern scientific calculator is more powerful
than the computers the astronauts in the Apollo program used in the
craft they were riding in to the moon.

In the 'old' days, I worked for the Atomic Energy Commission
designing, building and maintaining computer controlled

in real-time......that computer had 16K core memory.......and
people came from all over the world to see what we were
doing....now a watch has more memory.....
Time flies, and the only constant is change......  Â

Yes - I am not saying my entire farm has that much ram.
You can get away with much, much less, but I have
servers that go that high.

This is kinda new to me - Just so I am clear -
unganged systems would perform better if I have
say - a caching system with limited threads
each pined to a specific core (we do this for
processor cache anyway) while ganged systems
would perform better it I was spinning up a new
thread for each request and had a large amount
(say 768GB) of ram running something like
PostgreSQL where threads are being fired up and
down many thousands of times a second but the
data they seek is mostly in main memory.

On-board bios usually will not allocate

I mean I have never sen it do so, even in
the days of ghetto ram thieving by graphics

But why does CentOS not register
all of my memory? Why less than 3/4
of it?
Perhaps the bios has allocated a chunk
of it to onboard video?
