First post from Project CRUNCH!

[freecableguy]

Project CRUNCH is operational. Graphics acceleration sucks. I need to do something about that....

Getting ready to run some benches. I need an IA-64 SANDRA edition...

flippin' SWEET!

[Mr_Slinky]

sounds like someone wants more canadates and to see how well this runs d2ol way to show the team

[freecableguy]

Confirmed by EVEREST...these are Madison 4MB MP ES chips...third generation Itanium 2 chips. Gonna run D2OL benchmark now...

[freecableguy]

Just to brag also...memory access latency on this system is 13.1ns

[faruquehabib]

WHAT!!!!! 13.1!!!! amazing haha

[Mr_Slinky]

wow that is really fast

results?

[Mr_Slinky]

post your benchies and sc too mate we would all love to see em

This is soo cool. A comp that has 13 latency in everest. The lowest I've ever seen is like 32's. R they running stock, cause if so that has to change. Post some pics of the final system.

my big quetion is can u overclock itaniums ?

[freecableguy]

d2ol performance is not as good as I hoped. It would rock if ported to IA-64. ALU performance on SANDRA is over 30K!

Oohh, well, still a very nice system. Do u have 4 instances running? What does it produce daily?

how bad was it?

hopefully you had more planned for that system then crunching
:sofa:

[afireinside]

So what did you do about it hitting the breaker on your power? Pics of this monster?

[freecableguy]

I only ran one instance for testing. I will post more pics soon. And to answer the question, no this was not designed for crunching...this is actually going to be a massive file/print server and will also run the new SQL Server 2005 64-bit.

[Ackbar]

This this being used in a business or for a personal server? If its a personal server, my hat is off to you! :clap:

[Entity_Razer]

lol

image the reply:

"yhea this is just my homeserver. I run WAMP, Windows 2000 and some streaming audio for in my house, thats about it."

....


would be freacking hilarius ....
such a MONSTER rig and running as good as nothing on it :D


BTW I "know" it's a pro server I think because if I remember correctly he's gonna put 8Gig of ram in it and later 16 or something for SQL and such.... or what that someone else?

Then why do you call it Project CRUNCH? :)

Just playing around... :p:
