You are again conflating high bandwidth and low latency. > So to not be memory bound you need to run an extra 15 times more instructions... without adding any cache misses, just to execute one instruction per cycle (a…
An application being cache-unfriendly doesn't imply that it will be bandwidth-bound. If the application reads single words from random locations it will be cache-unfriendly and latency-bound. If it reads 1K contiguous…
For all the cases you mention, the critical factor is the product of the average transaction size and the transaction count per second. As long as this value is smaller than the RAM bandwidth, the application will not…
> A quad channel system will have twice the throughput of a 2 channel because there can be twice as many cache misses being handled at once. Sure, that's the theory, but in practice it doesn't seem to make much of a…
Are there any applications that are RAM bandwidth-bound, though? The main bottleneck is supposed to be RAM latency. Going from single channel to dual channel offers like an 8% performance increase, IIRC. Is there any…
VT-x and VT-d are definitely not on AMD. AMD has its own versions of these sets that do basically the same, though, and AFAIK all hypervisors support both.
> difference between fiction and non-fiction Wait, was that actually part of a curriculum? Surely if you know what "fiction" and "non-" mean you can understand the difference between the two.
I do a lot of work in local VMs (testing in clean environments, debugging drivers, etc.), and those can take up quite a bit of room.
If the times claimed by the developers are true, then it just tells me that BSD was the correct choice of license, as otherwise zapcc might not have happened. A world with a lot of high quality software, some of it open…
It's because the 7-Zip file manager first extracts to %temp% and then copies (not moves) to the drop location. If you use the regular extract function it extracts to the destination directly. Using the Explorer context…
It's so annoying that I can't use the arrow keys to scroll. Only Page Up/Down or the mouse.
I think the sound is generated locally. Check out the page source, which contains the JS I think is responsible for generation (I haven't checked in detail).
It's a shame that the meows in the "meow-y" setting are just regular meows, not purry meows (as in, meowing and purring simultaneously).
Yeah, I would have at least ran some kind of similarity search on the output. Without that check it's impossible to know if this is actually doing anything.
I don't know if that's true or not, but if the penalties described in that article are accurate, I'd say the penalties for killing someone with a vehicle, either from recklessness or malice, are shockingly lenient.
So it's basically a nap?
Crazy thought, but perhaps the device is actually pretty terrible at measuring when the user is asleep? Wrist-band heart-rate monitors are known to be fairly less accurate than chest-band HRMs.
In my experience, most how-tos that work for Ubuntu work for Debian, often almost without changes.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the problem, but is maintaining six integers and updating their values as objects move from one status to another not a suitable solution?
The effect of heroin is real, and it won't help if you have, say, a bacterial infection. If you have for example a nerve caught in a joint, a placebo may make you believe you're getting better and eliminate the pain of…
I didn't say it's not a real phenomenon. I said it doesn't help.
Actually, for the torrents on the first link you just need 20.8 TiB. For the ones on the second link you need 49.6 TiB.
Placebos don't help. At best they provide temporary relief; on some people they don't even work. A placebo is like you car engine making a funny noise and the mechanic telling you to turn the stereo up so you won't hear…
