Intel Hyperthreading In Reality
A reader writes: "Looks like GamePC has got the first look at Intel's new Xeon processor, which has the new super-fantastico Hyperthreading technology, which tricks your OS into thinking one CPU is two CPUs, two CPUs is four. Looks neat in theory, benchies included."
This first post is claimed for AMD and the Queen of Spain!
cherish my balls as though they were Kuro5hin
look at fort knoxies journal about it!
So there.
Heh, the XBox 2 is coming now instead of Microsoft, Intel will get into the Video Game action.
 
its true...

how can this be offtopic? it's flamebait, obviously!
Yes, just think about how much more quickly intelligent agents can be developed using genetic algorythms in a scenario with a tricky god.
I am the great pumpkin and I shit cesar salads. Thanks! p00 beard
Actually, I found it quite informative.
Yes I think macfagslashdot is sold out. This forum is turning into a magnet for all the mac loving, faggot stupid asses.
If you are male and drive a Volkswagon you are a fag. If you are male and voluntarily make use of a mac, you are a fag.
I don't know where else to post this, but has anyone been experiencing problems
with Slashdot? More specifically, cookie problem, such as not being logged in
when you vist the site? For the past three days, I've had to log into Slashdot
multiple times thoughout the day. I've also gotten errors on the site that force
the cookie to be written to the screen. Is there any place where we can see/post
bugs/bugfixes for the site? Or a thread where we can see status on the site in
general? I enjoy reading the site too much to get fed up with small problems.

Karma whoring doesn't really make a great deal of sense when karma is capped at 50, now, does it?
Last friday I got my first taste of the Xeon processor. I work for a company that makes heavily optimizing OpenMP compilers, and we tend to get some of the latest hardware in short order. Last friday, I set up a machine with:
Dual Xeon 2.0Ghz CPUs (3997 bogomips on RH7.2)
1Ghz ram
36Gb disk
This machine is extremely fast. A test suite that runs in 4 hours on a dual PIII 800MHz (512MbRam) runs in about 45 minutes on this machine.
in fact, this is more insightful than the average slashdot post.
I did. It works in C++ too. :-)
---Windows 2000/XP stable? safe? secure? 5 lines of simple C code say otherwise!
Why the hell those morons are writing everything with fixed-width small font with horizontally centered lines?! Some people will never learn how to make webpages. And it's so easy, just not changing anything is enough. Morons.
Here is how it worked. On the CDC 6600 when the CPU wanted to do I/O it would store a request packet into a magic memory address. The next virtual PPU would scoop it up and shovel the bits into the device. There was no DMA. The PPUs polled the I/O port to push each word of data. They also did most of the 'system call' functions. For example for a context switch the PPU would order the CPU to dump its registers and halt, then the PPU would swap in the new registers and order it to resume and load.
Each PPU ran one instruction before switching. The design documents called the switching logic the 'barrel', as in the drinking song Roll Out the Barrel. The design engineers must have liked their beer :-)
