You should also post requirements for sr-2 users.If you set all the ram it will become unbareably slow since (it is my guess) every core will try to use the memory of the other cpu which is a way slower access than to his own memory bank. Secondly with sr-2 setups using 16(for double quad corexeon) or 24threads(for double exacore) is not a good stability check since in this way every thread is confined to a single core and you don't test the stability of the qpi between the cpus.Hence 32 threads testing is required since in this way you have threds jumping from one core to the other and from one cpu to the other and in this way you can test also the qpi between cpus.
Thirdly you should use your chipset connected devices to check if chipset too is "Lynx stable".For example QPI crapping after 7000 GT/s does not show up very evidently in Lynx testing if you don't play an audio sample and listen with your ears if there are stutters n the audio while for example testing lynx and listening to an audio file( i suggest clean audio samples like classical music since in this way you will be able to spot even the smallest stutters in the audio due to qpi crapping.Cheers and happy stability session to everybody
Why don't you start your own club, then? See how many people want to run 250 loops while sitting at the PC and carefully listening to the music for hours at a time looking for stutters (and do you want them to post 10+ hour recordings of their music playback?)...
I think my requirements are reasonable. Seeing as I've got around 200 people join, I guess I'm not the only one thinking that way.
You are posting a lot of assumptions about an SR-2 setup. Looks like you don't have one. So why are you so bothered?
Let's not discuss what's stable and what's not here. I've never claimed ultimate stability. Just sufficient one. I think this discussion belongs to a different thread.
And what is this "Lynx" you keep talking about?
