nice cuppa afternoon tea.
heating up some cornbread, melty butter, yumma
LAX to MEL or SYD day gives you a sunset. LAX to MEL night gives you a sunrise. Is all ocean so sun and moon are the only thing there is to see :) ( could only find a LAX to SYD flight path) Think that is the longest over ocean route there is :)
...well you could always go from The east coast (where I believe starionwolf lives) through Europe to get there as well. Then you'd see two sunrises and have more landforms to fly over so you have something to look at out the window. Going either way you effectively lose two days.
...well part of the difference may be the fact that two separate processors have to continually communicate between each other as well as with memory so the "attention" has to be split between both functions. With all 12 cores on one CPU it's back down to the task of just passing instructions between it and the memory to deal with.
There also may be other improvements like a "fatter" pipeline between memory and CPU (kind of like adding more lanes to a superhighway). When the i7 was released it had triple the memory pipeline width as well as significantly increased memory caching of the old Core Quad LGA775 CPUs.
...bugger, everything on the Daz site is running in slow motion again here.
Did the usual S.O.P., cleared cache, cleared cookies (using CCleaner which is much more thorough), shutdown/restarted FF, shutdown again, restarted the entire system, and still ended up sitting here watching tabs for the site take seemingly forever to load. Even got hit with another "Network Reset" error. Now I know it's not my connection, because I tested other sites and they open within moments of clicking on them.
Running a Executable installer defaults to Admin by default so a RUN As is not needed.

...I always run my main apps (DIM, Daz Studio, Carrara, etc...) in Admin Mode. I have changed no user protocols on my system since setting it up over a year ago and again, this never happened before the 1.0.1.115 update.
Morning. Feeble yellow sun struggling against a grim grey sky , chilly south wind breaking over the last of a warm spell bringing showers of brown gold leaves on street and roof and paving outside my window today :)

Went to a presentation by a local distributor about the differences before Christmas, should have paid more attention. One Intel Xeon E5-2697 V2 is 22nm tech, 4 channel memory, 30MB cache vs two Intel Xeon X5650 45 nm tech, 3 channel memory, 20MB cache. Am cynical enough about sales pitches to expect the machine to maybe run a little slower perhaps, never expected big speed increases in processor intensive stuff like volumetric lighting :lol:
Just for fun I did a search for flights flying east:
no flights to narnia -tee hee
they released the gianni thread. bummers
No flights to Xanadu either, perhaps that wonder woman airplane should go into production :lol:

...ahh, quad channel, there again explains improved performance as the memory load is distributed equally across 4 memory sticks instead of just three as my system has or two as others may have.

My knowledge of that kind of hardware isn't as detailed as perhaps it should be but yes, the 2010 Mac Pro has three 16 GB sticks and the 2013 Mac Pro has four 16 GB sticks. I know the ECC RAM copes with random bit flips and the memory bus speed is 1866 vs 1366 Ghz without quite knowing what the implications are. Just because I never usually do I'm running a Lightwave benchmark render on both machines, might be interesting but I am kinda blown away and intrigued by up to a forty times increase in render times between the two machines, perhaps I set up some shaders that are way less than optimal (?)
Phew the two machines are blowing a cartload of hot air right now :lol:

xanadu = olivia newton john on roller skates :)

...umm Malaysia Airlines? If I'm not correct that isn't that the airline that lost 777 under mysterious circumstances in the southern Indian Ocean a month ago?
I'd go to IAD and take Emerates Airways myself.. 777-300 to Dubai, Airbus 380 (the big double deck plane) to Sydney. Total flying time 29 hrs 10 min with a 2 hr 15 min layover in Dubai. yeah a bit more expensive but arguably the #1 airline in the world and you only need to make one plane change enroute.
Of course if you are more budget minded and don't want to spend hours and hours over boring open ocean, there's always a connection with Aeroflop/China Southern (formerly part of CAAC which jokingly was always referred to as "China Airlines Always Crashes") through Moscow and Guangzhou. Unfortunately it is three days total as you spend a good part of two days in both Moscow and Guangzhou (over 9 hrs at each stop). Fortunately all flights are on modern western built aircraft (Boeing and Airbus) instead of old Soviet era relics.
If adventure is your thing and you really need to get out and stretch the legs that may be the best deal going.

...wasn't sure if 16GB sticks were available yet. In that case the memory load is spread over the entire 64 bit kit at once rather than having to wait for one to fill up one set before cascading to the next. 1866Ghz is also pretty shredding. I only have 1366 sticks in my system. Another factor is CAS latency, the lower the number the less delay time between the memory controller and module (stick) to access a particular memory module.
Yeah I guess that 18 months I spent learning how this stuff actually comes in handy sometimes.
anybody remember these watchamacallums? :lol:
don't leave em in the attic. they melty

Am pretty clueless about hardware I guess because I went to software school :lol:
Interesting results from the benchmark thing:
Mac Pro 6,1 late 2013 2.7/3.5 Ghz x 12 cores 53 min 9 sec (3189.7 sec)
Mac Pro 5,1 mid 2010 2.66/3.5 Ghz x 12 cores 59min 35s (3575.1 sec)
Same scene file and shaders, optimised by the developers for benchmarking,
one more cuppa tea tnite.
7th day of no bus. 2 more days of free.
walking to the bus again is gonna feel like :down:

Yes they do come up very pretty and shiny :)
Thanks, starionwolf. I've been in and out. Real life is one huge mess right now. I had lunch at WoolyLoach's favorite breakfast taco place yesterday, but didn't see him around. I try to at least skim through my forums every day, even though I don't post I'm keeping an eye on all of you.:coolsmile:
Vinyl has had a big revival here, this was huge a month ago http://www.recordstoreday.com.au
Egads! I know I'm broke and can't buy anything from the store, but I read this as "freebie" yellow sun and was ready to get it.

Always have some freebie sun and a shady spot to sit in for you here :)
AtticAnne you know your welcome over here in my Humid as can be southern Sun any time you like. I get it free too.

...yeah RL been doing a big number trying to stomp me into the ground. The UI extension looks to be pretty much dead in the water, and the job search is going nowhere. As I mentioned on my other thread, received a preliminary eviction notice on Thursday for which the proceedings will go into effect if I am unable to come up with the back due rent by the 22nd.
If that miracle turnaround is to happen, it better do so quick.
In the meantime trying to hang on as best I can to whatever shred of hope is left.
