heh

CBenni

@Bob ah ok. Thanks man. Seriously, where from do you know which CPUs are crap? Just looking at benchmarks? Which of them properly represent the power they have?

Bob

@CBenni benchmarks may not be completely accurate, but they're typically good enough to give you a ballpark figure

CBenni

ah ok

Also, we decided to keep the setup the way it is for now and carefully decide on a long-term solution over the next few weeks

Bob

2:12 PM

@CBenni you can also look at manufacturing time, brand, etc

Intel has been dominating AMD for years now

CBenni

You mean, especially in the Server CPU scene?

Bob

45nm is pretty old (~Nehalem)

@CBenni In CPU performance across the board

8 cores implies worse single-core performance (not always, but Opteron especially has had that issue), and you're looking for single/dual performance (Terraria doesn't use more than two worker threads)

CBenni

Ah, I wasnt sure about that

Oliver Salzburg

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ I had a pretty good exchange about that topic yesterday here: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/16488575#16488575

CBenni

eventhough were planning to run multiple servers, single core performance is very important for burst times

Bob

2:16 PM

@CBenni that's far from certain, and it really depends on how well each chip dissipates heat, how its architecture performs, clock rate, etc

But I distinctly remember that AMD's high-end chips from that time were criticised after all their 8-core marketing (rumors of the Bulldozer line beating Sandy Bridge) - turns out its single-core perf was terrible in comparison

I mean, it still beats out many older Intel chips, but it couldn't beat SDB

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob not only that, but software scheduler interleaving of different threads on a high-throughput single core (or many core with hyperthreading) really isn't that big of an overhead when your pipelines are of a middling length like Nehalem+ (it was lethal on P4 with its ridiculously deep pipelines)

in the end, raw throughput, regardless of the number of cores, wins... and raw throughput on fewer cores has the advantage that extremely serial tasks that can't be parallelized can run well, while very multithreaded tasks can still run pretty okay

Bob

cpubenchmark.net/…

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

(for embarrassingly parallel tasks you shouldn't even be using the CPU; use GPGPU)

Bob

The FX-9590 is from late 2013.

The i7-2600 is from early 2011.

The i7 still wins single-core perf, as far as that benchmark is concerned

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob and isn't even particularly high-end

Bob

2:23 PM

AMD wins on price, but not much else (for desktop/server chips; for mobile their integrated GPU helps)

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

also look at the laughable difference in TDP between those chips O_O

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ yea, 220W

How on earth...

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

cpubenchmark.net/…

Intel's single-core performance hasn't been increasing at too impressive a pace though; the 4960X is only marginally better than the 2600.

Bob

Here we have a chip clocked at 4.7 GHz (vs 3.4 GHz) from two years later (almost three!) on the same fab size (32nm), drawing over double the power, and it still can't win in single-core perf. And it's barely ahead in overall perf.

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ They're focusing more on the GPU, and I think they've run out of incremental improvement space.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob the 4960X is Ivy-E; it doesn't have a GPU

Journeyman Geek

2:25 PM

ow

Bob

They'll need another breakthrough to beat it.

Journeyman Geek

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ whoa ;p

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

it has 6 cores with HT, though, which means it's awesome for multithreaded workloads

Journeyman Geek

(@ the nick)

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Yea, but the single cores are still a similar design - they just swap out the GPU for more cores and cache.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

2:26 PM

@Bob true

the 4960X is kind of like having 1.5 3770Ks :p

the 5960X is going to be delicious, though. eight Haswell cores. and I do believe they're looking to exceed 4 GHz on the turbo clock freq

how on earth am I going to afford that -_-

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ $1500+

if I go for the SP3, I might just stick with the i5 model

i7's unnecessary and expensive

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob on a mobile device where you're insane if you're trying to do anything that benefits from the i7? yeah. no joke. :P

though, having more NAND is important, also it increases the performance

the larger SSD models have more NAND chips in parallel, so higher throughput

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ It's a $350 step from 128 to 256 :\

Journeyman Geek

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ: bank robbery? ;p

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob meh. IF I were in the market for a SP3, I'd do that.

Bob

2:30 PM

and I'd need to make that step: the 128 one has 4 GB of RAM, which is laughable

another $300 step for the i7

and another $300 to go to 512

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

I've decided I don't have frequent enough of a use case for a device of that form factor to upgrade any time soon -- though I may at some point want to eliminate my Android 7-8" tablet form factor in favor of Windows 8 (Atom/x86_64, of course) -- Dell Venue, hopefully a late 2014/H1 2015 improved model

Journeyman Geek

(and eh. Apparently one of the high end AMD video cards - R9 290 4gb is about 500 quid at my friendly local parts shop. If it is still next month, I will likely SERIOUSLY consider it)

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Eh... $800 for a piece of Atom/2GB RAM crap? nty

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob if next year's model has 4GB, I'll take it.

being able to run Windows desktop apps is a huge benefit.

Bob

4 GB is barely acceptable :P

Journeyman Geek

2:33 PM

@Bob: meh my laptop has that much

its enough

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

I've already seen what Bay Trail can do in an ultrabook form factor (my Yoga 2). it's not a bad little chip! if anything, the bottleneck in the Yoga 2 is the 5400rpm HDD.

Journeyman Geek

Depends on your use case, but you arn't going to be opening 20,000 tabs or running VMs, no? ;p

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

the Bay Trail 8" tablets all have SSDs.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek not in a new/long-term device

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

although, using Bay Trail's successor (whatever that may be) with some of that sweet 3D NAND, with 4 or 8 GB of RAM in an 8" tablet running x86_64 Windows, would be quite sweet

Bob

2:35 PM

though I really don't need anything tablety

that cheapo tablet is sitting unused :P

SP3 might replace the laptop. I have my phone. Something in between? I have no idea what I'd use it for.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

I've been using either my phone or my desktop lately. too tired for the desk? meh, grab phone, lay in bed

could be that I can just forget about all form factors except desktop and phone, and go phablet

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Yea, even the laptop isn't seeing much use now

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

Note 4 is definitely an enticing prospect, as is the LG G3, for that reason

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Problem is pocket space

Journeyman Geek

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ: Phablets are, to me, an oddball form factor.

Bob

2:36 PM

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ And Android, too! :D

Who doesn't love a versatile platform?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob Note 4 is bigger. the LG G3 is still .5" larger screen (diagonal) than what I have, so that'd be a definite upgrade in readability.

Awal Garg

hello

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

oh and from 720p to 1440p O_O

Journeyman Geek

(also, dogs don't have pockets. I don't really want to get too much bigger)

Bob

@JourneymanGeek I used to think that too. Lately, I've been considering them a tablet replacement more than something in between.

Journeyman Geek

2:37 PM

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ: at some point though, increased pitch density gets pointless ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek ...where do you keep your phone? :O

Awal Garg

is it possible to download videos from the internet, but first compress them (not there quality, the other compression)....

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@JourneymanGeek there are still some aspects of the human eye that can see well beyond 1440p.

Awal Garg

videos have direct link hosted on coursera

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: There's a good reason I didn't usually carry around my phone for ages ;p

Bob

2:37 PM

@AwalGarg you need a cooperating server somewhere that will compress in a format you recognise

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: clearly, I hide it in my bandana.

Bob

but lossless compression on videos is nearly useless

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@AwalGarg "not their quality, the other compression" --> you mean lossless compression, like zip or 7zip?

Awal Garg

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ yep

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

that won't do you any good... in order to reduce the file size of a video, you must compromise on quality. it is impossible to compress it further without losing quality.

Awal Garg

2:38 PM

wait, what is that username?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

it comes down to entropy

Awal Garg

umm, ok. I am ready to compromise on quality.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

lossy video is already extremely high entropy (the data looks effectively random); a lossless algorithm can't improve upon that

Bob

@AwalGarg you're better off transcoding in a lossy format to slightly reduce quality in an unnoticeable way

Journeyman Geek

@AwalGarg its ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ of course.

Bob

2:39 PM

lossless will save you, at best, maybe 0.5%-1% space

it might even make it bigger

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob PPMd on ultra that requires 16 GB of virtual address space and 16 hours to compress, could save about 500 MB on a 4K AVCHD feature-length movie that runs ~50 GB :P

Awal Garg

half the present quality is fine.. now is it possible (and feasible?)

Bob

@AwalGarg then what you need is either the original host to compress it more, or you'll need someone else to download, compress (transcode) and make it available for you to download from them

you can't do it remotely by yourself from an uncooperating host

Awal Garg

hmm, I was hoping of some internet service which can do it.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@AwalGarg what Bob just said is correct -- you'll need a server or someone else to first download the regular (full-size) video, then transcode it into a lower bitrate and/or better codec

Awal Garg

2:41 PM

any internet service (free) which does this?

Bob

@AwalGarg there may be one that exists; I do not know of any.

Awal Garg

okkk

Bob

but it's unlikely to be free, if it does exist

Awal Garg

is it possible to upload video to youtube from link?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

if the source video is uncompressed for some reason, or compressed in an extremely old/inefficient codec, you might be able to lose very little quality by transcoding to a modern codec like VP9 or H264 or H265

@AwalGarg no

Bob

2:41 PM

transcoding is an expensive (CPU/GPU, and therefore power, and therefore money) operation

Awal Garg

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ :(

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

the cheapest way I can think of is to rent an on-demand Amazon EC2 server for an hour or two (it'll run you between a few cents to a few dollars depending on how big of an instance you get), download the video, and use gstreamer to transcode it

Awal Garg

ok, btw, is that.... wait. allouixotic?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

then host the result over nginx for you to download

Bob

@AwalGarg Yes, that is @allquixotic with a new name :P

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ that can be done later; quick 'n dirty hack coming up

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

oh ok I thought you were running it in your browser

Bob

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ oh, I was talking about git... or was it the suggestion of a more general plugin? one of those.

Journeyman Geek

So... if he dies, he gets replaced by another one from the resurrection ship?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Bob gotcha. cool

@JourneymanGeek exactly

Awal Garg

2:44 PM

hmm, we can send files to google drive from web with a chrome plugin. now is it possible?

Journeyman Geek

(I need to rewatch that series)

Awal Garg

it seems drive uses the same player like youtube

and youtube can compress and let download through 3rd party services

Bob

eh, you can try it

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@AwalGarg is that a server-side upload where Drive goes and gets the file, or does that Chrome plugin just download the file to your system and then upload it to Drive? I highly suspect the latter.

Awal Garg

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ I highly suspect the former, but I am not sure. have done that once, and went pretty fast.

wait, I'll post the extension link here.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

2:47 PM

@AwalGarg generally, big companies like Google don't give random internet people the capability to direct their web servers to perform arbitrary HTTP Requests

that can be a huge security hole and/or legal liability

Awal Garg

chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-google-drive/…

there must be a secure api to do that, if possible

can someone please check and confirm? I am not that an expert in such things.

thnx in advance. :)

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@AwalGarg it's trivial to check it yourself -- download Fiddler, turn on capture traffic, and watch your browser perform the HTTP request to start downloading the movie from coursera when you try "Save to Google Drive"

> teach a man to fish

Journeyman Geek

;p

Awal Garg

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ hmm, oh right. chrome dev tools allow to see http requests. good catch bro :)

Bob

is it just me, or is there literally zero difference between the middle and right ones?
