Many apps still can't take advantage of more than one core. Firefox seems to struggle with that, for instance. Give them a thousand cores and they would still run at 1x! JohnB on The Kilo-Core Computer 5/21/2013 2:32:27 PM Re: Virtualized Processor Fabric...: Intel has a new encryption core that looks to do this typeof function. It can be built into an SoC or delivered as a PCIe interfaced add-on chip. JohnB on The Kilo-Core Computer 5/21/2013 2:12:27 PM Re: 12TB of DRAM: I agree John it is a different domain that what we are used to seeing at normal enterprises. Doesn't everyone thrive on more bits/sec? I mean everybody would like to have that number as high as they could possibly get. smasood on Kraken Gets Crackin' 5/21/2013 1:29:23 PM Kernel level changes impacted most: With multi-core computers, the kernel will need a lot of modification. It will become much more complex to handle lots of memory and hundreds of cores. RaviN on The Kilo-Core Computer 5/21/2013 1:19:18 PM Re: Windows vs Debian: @toby: Good point regarding windows NT. However, when I think of an OS for my 8-core 4-TB memory server, Linux comes to my mind, not Windows.

JimOReilly on Getting CPU Clocks to Tick Faster 5/21/2013 1:04:06 PM Re: Super Duper Chips: Computer cores generate a lot less heat per transistor than chip interconnect. If the interconnect can run at much less power, we can get a lot more cores on a chip. JimOReilly on Getting CPU Clocks to Tick Faster 5/21/2013 12:54:24 PM Re: Windows vs Debian: @Mike: Open Source (at least linux) has been built as a collection of utilities. You can just install the base OS and then load packages as needed or you can install the entire OS with source. Windows, on the other hand, has been built as... RaviN on Windows & What Not to Do 5/21/2013 12:12:24 PM Poll: the changing environment: I'd have to say the cloud and client computing are having the greatest impact on reshaping our thinking about the enterprise. TomMurphy on Changes 5/21/2013 11:42:16 AM Re: Super Duper Chips: By allowing it to tick faster means you generate heat within the cpu more than the usual. Im not sure how practical it will be unless you increase the cooling effects of it too. anthony.h on Getting CPU Clocks to Tick Faster 5/21/2013 11:40:38 AM Re: Windows vs Debian: @JV: Im not a big fan of Win 8 right from the start and I still feel that it has some compatibility issues within it still. anthony.h on Windows & What Not to Do 5/21/2013 11:32:38 AM Re: Windows vs Debian: John: OS2 was a good solid platform and is surely still out there doing important things. Getting it to run on virtualized multicore hardware would be tricky of course! toby on Windows & What Not to Do Next 5 messages + All messages All messages blog roll message boards chat 3/27/2013 1:57:36 PM Live Chat Here - Wed.
