    Quite possibly. When we first moved up here, the first house we lived in,  we used to wonder why people always gathered to have a chat outside our house.  Turns out it was because it was the best place for the bus to stop, nearest to the chippie.    The one thing I really.really miss about living in that other house is the chippie across the road.

    Fish and chips shop? (I had to look it up) Across the pond (and a bit archaic now) it means bar girl or prostitute, so that was what I first pictured across the road from your house. blush

    i doan understand gpu verses graphic card memory.

    they 2 different things?

    rendering deep underground computer center, the card memory got used up and went to my sytem memory, which was expected behavior.

    but gpu was at 2% load and my system cpus were stuck on the ceiling. ??

    are the cudas in the gpu or the memory?  is the gpu supposed to be faster for the iray than a i5 quadcore cpu?

    what is a cuda exactly?

    CUDA is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) model created by NVIDIA. It allows software developers to use a CUDA-enabled graphics processing unit (GPU) for general purpose processing – an approach known as GPGPU. The CUDA platform is a software layer that gives direct access to the GPU's virtual instruction set and parallel computational elements.

    Ooh, ooh, I can answer the last part.

    I set up a box to collect can tops for kids to bring into school to help off-set the cost of cancer treatments for families in my state and in crayon font I wrote "help cure something that sucks" and when I came into work today someone threw it in the garbage. 

    If I find out who and kick them into an open elevator shaft and holler down "have a blessed day." is it still a crime?

    The GPU is the processor, the CUDA cores are the amount of power it has for calculating the render - as long as the sceen fits into the card's memory. Once the card's memory is exceeded the render drops the grpahic card and uses only the CPU and system memory. You were told when asking for advice that 2GB would not be enough to hold much of a scene.

    the deep underground computer center used over 9gbs of system memory and it used 2034 of the card memory.

    it's a shame it can't use both the gpu and the cpu.

    was hoping i could simultaneous render in DS and Carrara.  cross the streams.
    iray gpu
    Rara cpu

    i wanted to see how the DUCC is supposed to look before starting the carrara shading on it.
    finished rendering after i went to sleep, dunno how long it took.
    loaded with all the lights setup, was happy about that.  
    that guy who doesn't like the lights already setup to render should speak for himself.

    Chippie also means carpenter, so we'll often get a chippie in to remodel the house...

    I saw them in concert a few years ago.  They still kick ass and take names!!  Maybe Ann can't quite hit the high notes like she used to, but they still rocked the house down!  Ahhhh Nancy....heart

    Pull tabs from cans have no special value, only the aluminum itself. Collect the entire cans, turn them in to a recycling center for the current value of the metal, then donate that money to your chosen charity.

    learned a new memory limerick today.

    when yoo using the workbench vise, Righty tighty, lefty loosey

    could possibly also apply to the pegs holding on the cpu-heatsink

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    flop exhausted 

    inertia is a real thing.

    just wheeled a cart of 7 35lb routers across the building.  
    forgot the paperwork had to trot back&forth one more time.
    then the UPS delivery came had to trot back&forth with a fresh cart.

    my legs literally shaky with fatigue.
    my arms are shaky from lifting 35lb routers.

    how long til retirement?

    the heat sync is usually a clamp, it may have an arm or a clip, to take of off it needs to come up

    clip on, clip off.

    And your limerick reads like a haiku that a Japanese Leprechaun wrote. 

     

    If your in IT you still need to be able to lift 100 lbs. My record is 220. I had to move a stationary printer from one room to another. The users I supported dialed "91", and then when the printer fell on top of me the other "1"

    Someone sent me package a clothes.  Maybe it is from one of my relatives.  The relative should have sent me a note telling me to expect a package or a gift.  I'm sitll waiting for the dress that I ordered.

    doh, it's a spectrum analyzer not a spectral analyzer.  
    why do i keep calling it a spectral analyzer, i sound like a doofus at work.

    Ah, spectrum analyzers.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_analyzer Cool machines! smiley  Magic machines to sample a signal in time, and show how the power is spread out in frequency.

    If you've got a spectrum analyzer you don't need to know Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms and all that jazz. It may be fun stuff for the math geeks, but the the spectrum analyzer cuts to the chase!   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform  yes

    Mathematics for fun and profit.  Another example of the usefulness of "Imaginary" numbers. smiley

    ...not really, I've had buses and streetcars just go past while I and others were waiting at the marked designated stop.

    However, at Disneyland, a freind and I would just stand at some random place near an attraction and within about 10 minutes or so there'd be a queue behind us. We'd leave and come back later to find the queue was longer.

    [ETA]

    ...ugh the type as you go spell checking crapped out again.  This site softare is most definitely not an improvement.
