The result figures are still climbing after a relapse of the Universe server, but here are the figures for the 32-bit squad as per today 20240108: BeagleBone-AI (dual core Cortex-A15): 4,035 credits/day Asus Tinker Board (quad core Cortex-A17): 8,086 credits/day Odroid-XU4 (quad core Cortex-A15/quad...

A PCIe 2.0 x1 interface, 500 MT/s. No faster than USB 3.0 (600 MT/s) meh. Jeff Geerling shows here that the PCIe 2.0 x1 can easily be changed to PCIe 3.0 x1, thereby doubling the speed to 1,000 MT/s (Theoretically that is. But as the great Yogi Berra already said "In theory there is no differe...

Finally got round to install the Jetson Nano special version of the 52Pi Ice Tower Cooler. My first attempt to install it was halted because the supplied T7 screwdriver wasn't up to the task and the heatsink couldn't be pried loose from the SOM. I now praise myself lucky to have bought an expensive ...

It's that time of the year again:

Stupid thing is that the 32-bit control group (an octa-core 2GB Odroid XU4, so a mere 256MB per core) has no problems at all running the 32-bit ARM/Linux apps. That finding was the start for "The return of the 32-bit squadron". As the Odroid-XU4 effortlessly crunched its way through Unive...

Some progress: as the Athlon A12-9800E was happy on the A320 board and the 3400G wasn't happy at all on the Fatal1ty X370 Gaming iTX/ac, I decided to have a go at another variable in the equation: The PSUs. So, I removed the A320M Pro4 board from its casing and put in the Fatal1ty X370 Gaming iTX/ac...

A 500 internal server error is, as the name implies, a general problem with the website's server. More than likely, this means there's an issue or temporary glitch with the website's programming.

This happens when I try to access e.g. 'Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!'

The idea is to post benchmarks here...

The BeagleBoys strike again!

The NH-D9L (including one fan) weighs 531 gram, two additional NF-A9 PWM fans weigh 184 gram, so the triple fan cooler weighs 715 gram, 0.715 Kg. It looks far more massive than it is, on the picture. Mind you, the NH-D9 retail series is rated for 3U servers (max height 133 mm). A NH-D15 (with two fa...

When we discuss cooling here it is mainly whether (AIO) water-cooling is better than air cooling, where air cooling usually means: BIG air, e.g. the Noctua NH-D15 or likewise dual tower/twin fan coolers. But suppose such a cooler won't fit your case? You can usually find good performing 120mm cooler...

A word of warning from my not-so-enthusiastic alter ego: :character-count: The latest RISC-V boards are, BOINC-wise, equipped with a non-functional CPU, a non-functional GPU and a dito non-functional NPU.
