Re: Mersenne: Unable to communicate with server.
PS.: Does anyone know what happened to http://www.teamprimerib.com/rr1/topover.htm it has either been updated for days? Yes, one of the TPR members (the one who implement these stats) is off on holiday(vacation for us Yanks). This coincided with the primenet server going down, and probably hosed his box. I would expect them to be back up in about the next couple days if not then the week after(I am unsure as to the duration of the vacation) Mike 'Tasuke' Sanchez _ Unsubscribe list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
Re: Mersenne: Benchmark Timings: XP1800+
There are some SIS based motherboards like the hugely popular ECS K7S5A(among DC farmers) That have both DDR and SDR ram slots. I personally have more than 15 of them running a whole spread of SDR durons, DDR Thoroughbreds(latest AXP processors)and everything in between. Note that it is not often possible to use SDRAM or DDRAM in the same board. SDRAM DIMMs are 168 pin, DDRAM DIMMs are 184 pin, so the modules are not physically interchangeable. Unless you have two sets of RAM slots, you aren't going to be able to convert without swapping the mobo. Even then I doubt you will be able to use both DDR and SDR at the same time, without crippling the DDR performance to SDR levels. It is not possible to use DDR and SDR simultaniously. Neither VIA or SIS solution allows for it, and since they would share the same bus, it would not be worth it in the long run. _ Unsubscribe list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
Re: Mersenne: AMD Hammer
The Hammer will have full SSE2 (what makes the P4's fast) as well as having its own memory controller on the chip(memory latency reduction of near half) larger caches (more memory latency reduction) as well as a full Athlon weight FPU. AMD claims that 25% or better perfomance than the AthlonXP processors, and benchmarks that are floating around show it doing SSE2 applications at about 180%-200% faster than a P4(based on 800 Mhz hammer pilot systems Vs. 1.6A Northwood P4) otherwise, it should perform at about the 3.2Ghz P4 level with the chip running @ 2Ghz or so. No one has any Idea about the cache sizes, as AMD has some NDA clamps on most of the info. Also, the memory for the Hammer (named Opteron, FYI) will be 128bit DDR, using 2 channels of standard DDR(most likely registered) Each chip in a MP system will have its own memory bank, but the memory will be shared by all the processors. - Original Message - From: Jeffrey Ketchersid [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 2:26 PM Subject: Mersenne: AMD Hammer I have heard that AMD is making a new 64-bit chip called Hammer early next year. Will that allow an increase in testing speed similar to what we saw with the Pentium 4? _ Unsubscribe list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
RE:Mersenne: Aside: Who's got the most photogenic prime machine?
Here is a like to a site that has a good deal of farm pr0n(slang terms, farm being the computer setups). My stuff is under /Hard/Tasuke but hasn't been updated in some time. That will soon be remedied. :p Black is currently a 1200 t'bird, main rig is an AXP 1900+ and Cody rig is at 866 celeron. I also have a 1.54 GIG t'bird, 1.3 GIG duron, a 350 P2, 733 P3, Duron 700, 1.4 T'bird, 550 Athlon Classic, and a 433 celeron. I will have pics soon. Hi,Many of us must have watched the latest movie and thought that it would be just us/more interesting if they had instead made a documentary on the computer technology that rendered the graphics.Although we have the stats on the number of machines participating in GIMPS, do any of us have any pictures? I wondered if anyone has any photos of interesting machines or machines in strange places running GIMPS. Perhaps a website could be created with links to some "readers pictures" :-) Perhaps with some pictures of the owners thrown in?(I've got a Linux box in my kitchen, but it's not very picturesque. Someone here must be able to beat that :-)Yours, -- === Gareth Randall ===
