mohanohihi..12:41
mohanohiis it possible to make a quad core processor work as combined single core ?/12:42
mohanohimy software runs only using single core.. it is not built for multi core..12:42
amitkit shouldn't make a difference, the app should just work12:51
mohanohispeed..12:51
mohanohimy each core is off 900mghz12:51
mohanohiit only uses 900 :(12:52
amitkyou'd have to change your app to use threading for that12:52
mohanohii am using aqsis, an open source renderman renderer.12:53
mohanohiits the only one .. :(12:53
mohanohiyou think it is not possible at kernel level to make the entire operating system think quad core as one processor?12:54
mohanohii think, its crazy idea..12:54
alex_jonimohanohi: no you can't12:55
mohanohialex_joni: oh ok.. thanx for the info :)12:56
alex_joniif there's only one process, that runs on one processor12:56
alex_joniif you have 4 processors (cores), then you need a multi-threaded app to take advantage of that12:56
mohanohiok..12:57
mohanohii think i have to submit the job 4 times..12:57
amitksubmitting the job 4 times will start 4 _different_ processes that don't share the data13:04
amitkmohanohi: to share data, the app needs to be multi-threaded13:05
mohanohiamitk: its not like that..13:05
mohanohirendering a batch of 10 frames x 413:06
mohanohiyeah shading of data is not done.. but it utilizes my all cores..13:06
mohanohihope the developer makes it multi-threaded..13:06

tom3phello, i read that many usb devices are flawed and that kernel 2.6.8 has fixed this (worked around it). 16:24
tom3pWhere can I find more information.16:24
tom3pI hope to patch 2.6.4-16-rtai to allow same fix.16:24
ivoksthere are rumors that 2.6.32 has ext4 bug/issue that impacts postgresql and apache performance17:56
ivoksthis is the commit:17:56

ivoks(haven't tested it yet)17:57
mcgrofanyone aware of upstart changes which would prevent booting older kernels?18:55
* mcgrof pokes at code18:55
johanbrmcgrof, not sure about upstart, but newer udev won't work with older kernels19:04
mcgrofjohanbr: oh I see thanks19:07
mcgrofyeah the upstart README indicatest kernels >= Linux 2.6.24 are supported19:07
mcgrofjohanbr: what about udev is screwy with older kernels19:07
johanbrI don't remember the details, unfortunately...19:08
mcgrofjohanbr: ok thanks though I'll ask Mr google19:19
