@JourneymanGeek what do you think about the Broadwell-E processors?

Journeyman Geek

@KronoS I tend to go high end mainstream. I don't consider HEDT processors good value for money - since they're a lot costlier, and I actually rather have the onboard GPU for diagnostic purposes on my daily driver rig.

Unless you have some specific thing in mind that needs more than 4c8t that is.

x99 is HEDT

Running Prime95 stress test. I've never done this before.

CPU is unable to boost beyond the stock clock of 2.7 GHz due to extremely heavy AVX load. ThrottleStop reports 47W power (right at the TDP); temperatures are within limits.

Peak load was nearly 60W at 2.9-3.0 GHz, with the processor allowing a brief boost before dropping to 2.7 GHz due to TDP limit.

I've run AVX-rich code on this machine before (artificial neural network software compiled in VC++ with AVX2 enabled) and have seen throttling of this sort.

Oct 30 '15 at 20:55, by bwDraco

Running some neural network simulations compiled in VC++ 2015 with AVX2 enabled. Very, very hard on the CPU. It's running hot as hell and the processor is already throttled to less than 3 GHz!

"the network port" :P

I suppose "ethernet port" is the most commonly used

@Bob My bad, sorry

eh. a consumer router will be on 80 the vast majority of the time

@DenisKa Port 80 would normally be used.

it literally is a web interface... you use HTTP

(exceptions if you enable SSH, telnet, etc., but ... that's not typical)

but with PC and router not with router and web server

DavidPostill

It could be telnet, port 23.

Bob

2:49 PM

the "router" is a webserver

Dog

wtf is this shit

DavidPostill

Some routers also have serial ports ...

Bob

your consumer "router" has a switch, router, possibly modem, probably wifi access point, DHCP server, NAT translation, etc., maybe a DDNS client, all built in.

that also includes a webserver for config/admin

DenisKa

one question, so my public IP is not unique?

Ben N

If your ISP does Carrier-Grade NAT, then it could be shared by multiple other customers

DavidPostill

3:37 PM

Ah. Good question. Normally it is unique but there is now CGN

Carrier-grade NAT

Carrier-grade NAT (CGN), also known as large-scale NAT (LSN), is an approach to IPv4 network design in which end sites, in particular residential networks, are configured with private network addresses that are translated to public IPv4 addresses by middlebox network address translator devices embedded in the network operator's network, permitting the sharing of small pools of public addresses among many end sites. This shifts the NAT function and configuration thereof from the customer premises to the Internet service provider network. Carrier-grade NAT has been proposed as an approach for...

Ben N

If your router does NAT (which it almost certainly does), it will be shared by the devices on your home network

@JourneymanGeek According to the newest formula I can find, close votes don't seem to affect it

DavidPostill

@BenN That is a bit iffy, as those devices don't have public IP addresses. The only device that might is the edge facing device and there is only one of those (usually). So strictly it is not shared (ignoring CGN).

DenisKa

@BenN you mean my laptop and my mobile phone will share same public IP address?

Ben N

@DenisKa Right, that's what I meant

(if they're both going through your router)

@DavidPostill I wasn't sure if they were asking whether multiple devices shared a public IP or if multiple households shared it

DenisKa

@BenN yeah they do! but I think my public IP is not kind off.. permanent it's last octet changes quite often. So if I do a cyber crime how will they find if my IP remains changing?

Ben N

3:42 PM

Your ISP keeps logs of which customer has which IP at which time

DenisKa

I see

one more question, I have seen quite often people not disclosing their public IPs but when I pinged my friends public IP it showed the host is down, so how will people damage my PC by knowing my public IP?

Ben N

A big reason to not disclose public IPs is that they can be more-or-less geolocated

Many home routers don't respond to pings so attackers aren't sure whether there's actually anything there

This web site finds my location as a nearby town; I would rather people on the Internet not have a good idea of where I live

Some geo-IP databases are better than others - one of those thinks I'm in California, which is not remotely accurate

It's just my personal laptop, CPU not overclockable. Just trying it out to see what it's like.

CPU was limited to 2.7 GHz (the base clock speed) because of the load imposed by AVX-rich code.

Nov 3 '15 at 0:34, by bwDraco

The TDP is 47 watts. If you were to try to run AVX2-rich code at the full 3.5 GHz Turbo speed, the processor could easily dissipate closer to 65 watts, well above what the processor is designed for.

Actually, my processor was doing 60W at 2.95 GHz and 47W at 2.7 GHz.

You're looking at closer to 100-130W at 3.5 GHz.

Spokn - VOIP service. I paid $10 for it early in 2015. I just checked and their website does not respond. Are they operational?
