View 7 Replies View RelatedI would like to run my own server, and I'm thinking of buying a dedicated machine to run it on. I checked out the dell website for a cheap machine to run it on (I don't need high performance - just a personal file server running a few hard drives, and a web/mail server). I noticed that they have some cheap models in their server line that are as cheap as a desktop. Compare:

The main difference I see between the desktops and the servers is the use of the Core or Xeon processor, and also, the servers tend to have lower RAM.if I am looking for value, should I opt for a low end desktop or a low end server to run a personal server? Also, what advantage does the Xeon processors and Dell server line have over the desktop models that make it better for running a server?
I recently read in a forum that by default the Linux kernel only activates one of two cores in a dual core processor. Searching online gave one option to find out and that was the mpstat command. I therefore ran the command and got the following output.As the result says, it shows only 1 cpu. I was wondering what I could do to activate both cores in my machine, and whether doing so was going to cause me any problems.

View 5 Replies View Related! I'm thinking of buying a corei5-660 on a motherboard with an Intel H55 Express Chipset. Does anyone know if it's fully compatible with OpenSUSE 11.3? I mean video (that comes from the processor, not an off-board PCI), audio (HD Audio), networking (Intel� 82578DC Gigabit), SATA Controller, USB, etc. I've tried to google but didn't find much info so I wonder if anyone is using or knows where I can find more info about it...
I have found this thread on the forums about the H55 chipset: Core i3 Intel Clarkdale graphic controller problem But the problems were facing on 11.2, I don't know about 11.3...
I've installed Suse linux 11.3 (kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5) on my brand new computer HP all in one 5130. Everything worked incredibly well : Wifi, wireless keyboard and mouse, sound, webcam.. There is only one remaining issue : I get a very poor resolution (1280x1024) instead of the 1920x1080 allowed by the screen. The graphic card is an intel chipset (HD graphics) integrated to an intel core i3 CPU. Here is (part of) the X11.org log :

I've got a few simple questions that have been bugging me for days:
What do we need slack64 for? What are the differences and advantages?
Is it true that EVERY core 2 duo processor is both 32 and 64 bit?
When i viewed the cpuinfo file (using command: vi /proc/cpuinfo ), i found that there are listings for 4 processors( i.e 4 sets of listings each one starting with item : processor - 0 ; processor -1 and so on..). Each of them have similar data among which one is "cpu cores" which is 2 for all.. How do i make sense of this data.. 4 processors with 2 cores each ? Also, what could be this hardware be classified as : dual core? quad core ?...
P.s: each of these processor listings also have an item called "siblings" which is 2 for all... Just thought i'll include this here because i felt it may be relevant to this question..
I've just finished installing debian 5.0.3 on my pc and i chose the installation set for the Intel x86 architecture. Does it mean that my OS is then 32 bit and will be used to run only 32 bits applications ? I'm doing also software developments with gcc with my linux box. Using this os and the gcc tools, for this os, will my software only be 32 bits ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedKernel 2.6.21.5, slackware 12.0 as 2.17 [I am speaking here about 80x86 processors, with their segment registers SS, DS, CS, ES.] In a source file for as, I wrote
Code:
.section _STACK
.rept 4096
.word 0
.endr
Now, in the .text section, I want to initialize SS, the stack segment, to point to the _STACK section. In other assemblers, there was a special section for the stack, and the linker cared about initializing SS. Here I use a common section for the stack. For a segment such as DS, I could write
mov ax,_DATA
mov ds,ax
But I don't think mov ax,_STACK would do with as/ls.how do I initialize SS?
I am looking to buy a laptop for my college years, so I would like to buy one that will serve me many years ahead. Currently the only laptop I have found is the System76 Serval laptop, but they do not ship to Europe.
Another laptops I have found are the Toshiba A505 series, but they are not currently supported by the latest version of Ubuntu.
I anyone knows of a good laptop (must have Corei7 processor and Nvidia/ATI powerful card fully supported by the proprietray drivers), please share your knowledge here.
I am planning to by Dell Laptop having core i3 processor. Does Linux supports this processor ?

I wanted to try Fedora 12 Live/KDE on a newly-bought Fujitsu Esprimo P1500. Booting with no kernel options would just freeze the machine. After some random experimentation, I added the option "nolapic" and got a seemingly working machine. However, only seemingly, as it turned out that only one of the processor cores was working (the processor is a "Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300").

I'd like to write a linux kernel module for that, but I am not sure how to proceed: How do you sequentially access all of the CR4 registers? I have read the Intel manuals and they describe a way to initialize each core, but this is done in the bios.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have written a simple script which has to find required patterns from a bunch of files ( where each file is around 2 GB each,which contain the output of seq 1 10000000000000) on an 8 core machine.I am current forking 6 child processes which run simultaneously on 6 cores of the processor & have to search for the required pattern in 6 different files & inform the parent process when a pattern is found using a PIPE.
The problem is,when a child process is done reading a text file looking for a pattern,it is becoming a zombie process.It exits cleanly when i put a $SIG{CHLD} = "IGNORE"; in the script.Can any one tell me whats going on & how do i improve the communication between child and parent processes?

If your PC has a 64-bit AMD or Intel processor, you will most likely need the "amd64" images (though "i386" is also fine), the "ia64" images will not work."Does it mean I should use ia64 image for my 64-bit intel processor?

A friend is trying to rescue some files from his computer because Windows won't boot, so he's making a Live CD. However, he realized that he accidentally downloaded the Intel version of Ubuntu, but he has an AMD processor. Does this matter for a Live session if he's not actually installing anything?

It loads, then when rebooting into Ubuntu... Nothing.
I tried to boot off the CD and it boots until I click install.. Then nothing.
I tried to install from a flash drive... nothing...
any one point me to the download link of the most suitable ISO image (CD/DVD) with the latest stable Debian Lenny distro, taking into account that I have a two-processor Intel motherboard with currently one Intel Xeon 64bit processor.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOn my 2 year old laptop I have an Intel Celeron Processor (The one made in June something of 2008) and last night I finally decided to tear it apart. My reasoning was, that I am going to buy a new laptop soon (I want a 64 bit system ) and lo and behold, my celeron processor has 2 cores on the chip itself. I ran several software tests on it in Linux (mostly just profiling and etc.) then I ran a full diagnostic on it and turns out that the second core was never used in any of it. So I looked over it through a magnifying glass and found a pin that was blocking a section from passing anything to this other core. I pulled the pin out and popped my processor in my laptop. Windows refused to boot at first except into Safe Mode because of a hardware change. It was there that my PC was re-evaluated and while previously I had a 3.5 out of 5.0 according to Vista, I know have a 4.1/5.0 thus Aero now was enabled. I then tried something crazy, I popped in the Arch64 net-install disk and VIOLA!!! It loaded and installed Arch64 successfully. Thus, I converted what was a 32 bit processor into a now 64 bit processor by (carefully) removing a pin. After doing research it seems other people found this out too and am wondering to myself, if Intel created this cheap of a 64bit processor, why didn't they market it like that and/or use this as their low-end 64 bit processor? It's all very fishy to me and I really don't know what to make of it.
As an update, I have re-soldered the pin on and Windows still sees the 2nd core. Arch64 however refuses to boot because it's trying to boot 64bit instructions on a 32bit processor again. It seems that since Windows saw that it was there, it has loaded a new driver (some weird "Intel Blah blah blah" [didn't write it down and don't feel like rebooting, sorry] ) that wasn't loaded before. It's still running Vista 32bit (NOT going to upgrade), but it still sees that the other core is there.
