I reported an inconsistency in results in the same R program run on different Windows computers and received some suggestions It isn't due to the version of msvcrt.dll (Peter Dalgaard & Brian Ripley) and isn't fixed by Duncan Murdoch's patches to windows R. More experimentation has shown that the set of results I like less (involving internal error reports from optim()) happens

Builds of the R-2.0.0 release have been considerably more successful at my site than previous releases. I now have it installed on these platforms: Apple PowerPC G3 267MHz GNU/Linux 2.4.19-4a (Yellow Dog Linux release 2.3 (Dayton)) Compaq Alpha Sierra OSF/1 5.1 Compaq/DEC Alpha OSF/1 4.0F Intel Itanium-2 GNU/Linux Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Derry) Intel Pentium II FreeBSD

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

Dear list, I have noticed surprisingly big performance differences of runif() between Windows XP and (Debian) linux on similar CPUs (Pentium D 3.0GHz (WinXP)/3.2GHz (Linux)) and I wonder if there is a simple explanation for the difference. On a linux system (with a slightly better CPU and 1GB more RAM), execution of runif() seems to consume about 80% more CPU time than on a Windows XP

Hi, I recently had a problem installing the rgl package on OS X and put together a simple patch. The patched package is available here: http://jinome.stanford.edu/files/rgl_0.66-patched_for_gcc4.tar.gz It can be installed with "R CMD INSTALL rgl_0.66-patched_for_gcc4.tar.gz" as normal at the command line. Also -- as of right now rgl is not in the repository of version 2.3 packages

The CentOS team is happy to announce the availability of CentOS-4.0 (Beta) for i386. This product supports AMD Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron, and Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4 and Pentium Xeon processors. A bittorent for individual CD binary iso files is available from: http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.0beta/isos/i386/CentOS-4.0-Beta-i386-discs1-5.torrent The source

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 This patch fixes code generation bug - 586-class CPUs don't support the nopl instruction and some 686-class CPUs don't support it too. I created bug 17792 for that. BTW. I think you should also optimize padding on these CPUs - instead of a stream of 0x90 nops, you should generate variants of "lea (%esi), %esi" instruction like gcc. This patch disables generation of

Hello, at the moment I am doing quite a lot of regression, especially logistic regression, on 20000 or more records with 30 or more factors, using the "step" function to search for the model with the smallest AIC. This takes a lot of time on this 1.8 GHZ Pentium box. Memory does not seem to be such a big problem; not much swapping is going on and CPU usage is at or close to

There are some minor but significant differences between the FAQ and the User''s Manual.. 1.1. What is Xen? Xen is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) for x86-compatible computers. Xen can securely execute multiple virtual machines, each running its own OS, on a single physical system with close-to-native performance. However the User''s Manual (3.0) states: 1.3 Hardware Support

I have a Gigabyte 8S661FXMP motherboard. It had a P4 2.4Ghz processor in it. I have a laptop which cant be fixed and has a Pentium 4 M 2.8Ghz. I put the Pentium M in my desktop and it boots fine and runs fine, yet I have only been running it for about 30 minutes and shut it down. I have now run it for a complete 2 days without lock ups or anything. I have just been letting it idle, although I

Hello. On a PC Pentium III I had a audio server working properly with Icecast2 and Ices2, running on Debian 5.0 (Lenny). Now I've upgraded to Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) and after a few seconds of running everything correctly, successive cuts begin to occur in the audio. For Debian 6.0 I have used the same settings for Icecast2 and Ices2 I used in Debian 5.0. Increasing "burst" only managed

Please include a testcase with the patch. gas uses " nopl 0x0(%eax)" for k6_2. Are you sure it is a gas bug?

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

Hi, I've been trying to get the G.729a beta codec running with my remote Asterisk box that talks IAX2 to my local Asterisk box. Digium fixed the problem I was having in registering the beta codec, so that now works fine. I've removed the old codec_g729b.so from /usr/lib/asterisk/modules and put in place the codec_g729a.so beta from digium FTP. My CVS build of Asterisk is about a

I plan to install CentOS 4.3 on some older IBM Netfinity which have Pentium III chips. I see that there is now a i586 pxeboot image for 4.3, I think that's new. Can I use that for Pentium III? Kai

Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only. This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel base offset, if it has been relocated.
