Got an e-mail from a friend.
"The HP DL560 Gen10 came in and I thought I'd have some fun before converting it into its real role next week."

real role
What is its role by the way?
Let me guess: Server for a small (<50 user) Discourse site.
-
@adynathos I'm guessing it's a Slack client

@el_heffe just what the hell was he doing that he maxed out 192 cores with only 20GB RAM?

I assume it's some CPU load test. It's been up for a day and ⅔ so I assume they're stress testing it to before putting it in service.

@dreikin what a waste of resources. They should've run PS2 emulator with software renderer on highest compatibility settings and see if it gets to 60FPS!

It's some sort of benchmarking program called Cinebench. He said he just wanted to play around with it and see if he could max out all 192 cores. I'm pretty sure it's not part of his job and he's not supposed to be doing it.

@tsaukpaetra 42. In arbitrary units, of course.

@el_heffe I wonder how fast that thing could run df-ai in lockstep mode...

Nice ! I'd love to have that to run my code.
But since it already eats up more than 1 TB of RAM with "only" 30 CPUs or so, I guess I'll need to upgrade the memory first. How much more RAM can I
downloadinstall in that beast?(and I won't ask the price either, since I wouldn't be the one paying for it :-P )

Do you think it might be time to write it in something other than Java?

@onyx I wish... Not that I could change language, but that it would be caused by the language I use (it's pure C++).
It simply plays with so much input data, and generates so much output data, that I can't really do otherwise. Basically, it generates about 1 TB data (or more, depending on the data set) and at some point it needs to have more or less everything in memory because it needs to access "random" bits of it.
(I lied when I said it depends on the number of CPUs, it actually doesn't, but if I had more CPU I could run it on larger datasets while keeping the processing time relatively decent, which would require more memory, so it's not totally wrong)

3TB, from what I saw on the store page.
