similar to: Dual-core support?

Hi all, I would like to bring your attention to our game "Scratches" that we're developing which is using the Theora codec. We found the video quality to be great with very small files. You can see the results for yourself in this short demo (45MB) we released a few months ago: http://www.nucleosys.com/files/scratches-t2.exe http://www.cellarofrats.com/pubftp/scratches-t2.exe

I encountered a segfault running glm() and wonder if it could have something to do with the way memory is handled in a dual core system (which I just set up). I'm running R-base-2.4.0-1, installed from the SuSE 10.1 x86_64 rpm (obtained from CRAN). (My processor is an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+). The error and traceback are *** caught segfault *** address 0x8001326f2b, cause 'memory not

I've just got bunch of RHEL4 erratas (looks like U2 is out). Looking at the kernel errata (kernel-2.6.9-22.EL), one of the things in list of new features is "Intel dual core support". What does this exactly means? Does it mean if I have dual core pentium processor and use older kernel that it will use only one core, and I need newer kernel to use both cores? Or is it only

Hello. I'd like to know if, under Windows, on a dual-core system, both cores are used by this game. For me, under wine, though both cores are detected correctly, only one of them is used (one is 100%, the other 0%). Can anybody tell me if the game behaves the same under Windows? Thanks. -- Fabrice DELENTE

In the past week, working with Samba 3.0.23d and the Linux 2.6.20 kernel, I have observed something interesting about Samba and the utilization of multiple CPU cores. On a single Dual Core 3 Ghz Xeon machine, when I am hammering the Samba server with requests from many client machines, a variety of CPU utilization tools like Gkrellm and Qps show that CPU utilization is around 30+ percent on

Hello Everyone I have a dual-core Intel i3-370M processor and Windows 64 operating system. I have a 3GB RAM and my processor can support a maximum of 8GB RAM. I have virtual memory enabled on my computer. I am running a program in the 64 bit R which implements a MCMC on a large dataset and involves around 80000 iterations. The processor estimates that it will take around 1000 minutes to

I believe you can assign processors in vmware, and xen as well. So you could probably do something funky like that to try to reduce load. The only thing that probably becomes difficult is trying to manage physical hardware between virtual machines.

Dear expeRts! I'm thinking of buying a new computer and am considering dual-core processors, such as AMD Athlon64 X2. Since I'm not a computer expert, pleas forgive me if some of my questions are silly. First, am I correct that using a dual-core processor is (for R point of view) the same as using a computer with two processors? If that is true, the posts I found on the list imply that

Dear R-users, I use R to run spatial stuff and it takes up a lot of ram. Runs can take hours or days. I am thinking of getting a new desktop. Can R take advantage of the dual-core system? I have a dual-core computer at work. But it seems that right now R is using only one processor. The new computers feature quad core with 3GB of RAM. Can R take advantage of the 4 chips? Or am I better off

Hi all Having problems with dual core in wine. It seems that every application I use through wine only uses 1 core. Any thorghts on how I can implement the wine apps to use both cores?? Native Linix apps use both cores generally. The DXDiag in wine also shows the 2 cores Apps Im trying Red Alert 3 HL2 + DM X3 I know these use both cores in windows I do also use wow in wine but I know theres is

Hey all, I was planning on getting a new computer for the new year to help with my dissertation research, and recently had an opportunity to compare the performance of my 1.6 GHz Pentium M laptop, and a 2.8 GHz dual-core Pentium processor (both running WinXP professional 32-bit). I run a lot of long simulations, so I was hoping to get something that would speed them up. I ran a few quick

I have searched the forums and cant seem to find an answer. I have noticed that when i run games and programs under wine its only useing 1 core. While when i run native Linux apps they use both cores. Also the games and programs that i am running under wine use both cores when run under windows. Is this a bug, or maybe just something i dont have setup correcly on my computer. Computer specs.

Hi All, Please for some advice. I have Linux router that do traffic control with HTB , routing and traffic counting. currently machine is with P4 2.2GHZ 1GB RAM. I plan to migrate to dual core CPU. I know well P4 dual core but is it anybody has experience with AMD64 dual core / or single core / for traffic control . I use Deban Linux for my router. Can I expect problems with HTB and iproute 2

lvm 3.7.0 treats pentium dual core ( cpu family 6 model 23 ) as "penryn" cpu, which triggers a serious bug : - crashs in openGL programs when llvm is used by mesa package, llvm will produces binary code with SSE4 instructions, which is not compatible with pentium dual core, because this CPU doesn't support SSE4 instructions ( bad cpu opcodes ), with llvm 3.6.2 this bug doesn't

Hi I am trying to utilize my dual core processor (and later a High-performance clusters (HPC) ) by using the Rmpi, snow, snowfall, ... packages, but I am struggling at the beginning, i.e. to initialise the "cluster" on my dual core computer. Whenever I try to initialize it (via sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=2) or mpi.spawn.Rslaves(nslaves=2) ), I get an error message: >

Hi I have a new ASUS A6Tc laptop with 1.6 GHz AMD Turion dual core processor. I get a strange error: <4>0000:00:0b.0 OHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?) 000007b4 <4>0000:00:0b.1 EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?) 01010001 This only occurs when booting into the xen kernel, not without xen. Can someone tell me why and how it can be fixed? Art

Hi, My setup is 1 management server and 1 server for virtual guests. The management server is an old dual core 32bit machine, the virtual guests server will be a dual quad core Dell server (until someone needs it back for production stuff :) ) This install is for the 32bit management server. First did a basic install of F12 without any X stuff in it Made sure /etc/selinux/config is in

Dear R-developers, the following may seem a weird question for R-devel – I try anyway, because it does seem to be related to usage of R and R's way of interacting with the hardware. When running R (2.4.0) on my new dual core Windows XP system (Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Mainboard ASUS P5B, BeQuiet Power Unit), I observe various types of sounds (not related to fans) when running at full
