    bitcoin, Nvidia gpgpus, & ebay

    I never know where to put threads like this as it covers a few topic areas. I never did bitcoin but am aware that the competitive bidding I got involved with on ebay was from those that were buying the accelerator cards for bitcoin mining ... I think I have that right. Now that bitcoin seems...

    more Pi (Raspberry Pi)

    hahaha ... "Analysis Paralysis" ... I relate :( Thanks for the link. Writing much code in C is frustrating. For many applications you get lost in a sea of parenthesis. But it is the primary language to understand. Using C++ overloaded operators and device drivers with...

    more Pi (Raspberry Pi)

    C++ takes the fog away from seemingly complex programming projects. I bought a book on C++ just before a friend of mine went in for surgery. I needed to be by her side, but knew that I was not going to be busy 24x7. I just needed to be available 24x7. During those many available hours I studied...

    more Pi (Raspberry Pi)

    10 amazing Raspberry Pi-based Kickstarter projects More tantalizing add-on widgets for the Pi are here. These are starting to make programming this thing look almost easy. I dare not invest because my ideas are ... if not nefarious ... then illegal:o

    more Pi (Raspberry Pi)

    I noticed this article in EDN, "Raspberry Pi I/O expansion card ..." I really have no time for this! But, I want so bad. Long long ago and far far away ... I used to write C++ code for embedded machine control systems. It was a lot of fun making things move when something else was sensed...

    The Bizarre Phobia You've Never Heard Of: Fear of Holes

    I thought that an odd headline, although I have had an on going aversion to walking over grates. At least in my dreams. I always feel that at the most inopportune moment I will drop my keys!! Hasn't happened yet ... knock on wood :o

    ASUS Introduces World's First Intel Thunderbolt 2-Certified Motherboard

    I have to admit that I barely understand Thunderbolt. This just popped up in one of my news sources, but looking at the date of the news release ... this is old news? Since I am a bit of an Asus junky I guess I will have to read up on Thunderbolt.

    SSD performance measurement: Best practices

    a chiller thread/review over at XS. I am considering 1 reservoir to dump the water from all 4 (eventually) systems into, then a radiator to drop off a few extra joules, then the chiller.

    SSD performance measurement: Best practices

    hahaha .. kougar ... open your mind up ... a bit. I currently have 2 WC-ed & OC-ed i7-990X (4.3GHz) systems each equipped with Nvidia GPGPUs (1 C2070 & 1 M2090). They sit next to each other and always have regardless of the office location. Same mobo, pump, radiators, fans (nearly so). The...

    The biggest-little revolution: 10 single-board computers for under $100

    These small single board computers fascinate me. Wonder how networkable they are? They remind me of the MS-DOS cards plugged into a STD bus "mainframe" where there was a master with several slaves, local & shared memory, and all used to control a pot making machine. LOL Long long ago and...

    SSD performance measurement: Best practices

    Hey ... I have been hunkered down working! :mad: But making money.:cool: I get interested in these articles as I get closer (maybe) to a new build. I guess it causes me to be social again.:oI also allowed a little dalliance by getting into marine aquariums. I have a 90G + 50G refugium + 20...

    SSD performance measurement: Best practices

    Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but this is a link to an EDN article about SSD testing. This seems out of place for EDN but maybe they needed a little filler. I have kind of lost touch with how SSDs are being tested here, but thought that this might dredge that up a bit.

    Canadian Maple Syrup Syndicate

    I am reticent to post this here of all places. Yet, I think I must as I suspect that this forum is a conveyance of secreted messages amongst the many members of our friends to the North. Perhaps this is the heart?:eek::eek::eek: Time to call it out!!:mad: Canadian Maple Syrup Syndicate I...

    Under the hood of a M2090

    nvidia-smi.exe, the actual application, was installed with the Windows Nvidia driver. I have used it on both the C2070 and the M2090 systems to compare what can be reported. As a result, I am pretty confident that the M2090 does not report temperature. Percent of memory usage is reported which...

    Insane house explosion in Indy

    Coincidentally, no one was home. The couple that died lived next door. One report I heard yesterday is that a meth lab has been ruled out. At least one expert on home explosions (how specialized is that?) did not feel that a simple nat. gas leak could cause this level of destruction...
