Dreez Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2005.10.12 20:16:00 - [61] As long as CCP dont change towards the 64bit technology im staying relaxed. 64bit is still very instable with software not fully developed and drivers being lacking. TomB, Tux & Oveur comming home from the latest meeting for denying blastership boosts.

SengH	Posted - 2005.10.12 23:34:00 - [64] server side 64bit has been in use for years. Its just desktop 64bit support that sucks.

Magnum III	Posted - 2005.10.13 21:10:00 - [70] Upgrades are fun! Thanks. I did not think these types of big ram hard drives would be out already. I think all computers will use this technology in the years to come.

Grainsalt	Posted - 2005.10.13 22:00:00 - [72] All training times are forward calculated anyway, e.g. I select a skill and it marks in the DB the time it will end.. So an offline database should just need to be restored without calculation. At least that would be the sensible way of coding it Originally by: Ehrine Ashbark won't need that to be honest. All they have to do is work out how long the the database was offlimits for and then scroll the training that far forwards. It should be simple maths to work out how much each character should have trained.

Dreez	Posted - 2005.10.13 22:38:00 - [74] 1 Year Ago : A fleet of about 50+ ships jumps in to any ordinary system without any flaw. no pilots are losing connection or warping away due to long loadingtimes. Today : Fleet of 30+ ships jumps at the same time, ships getting warped of due to long loadingtimes, other pilots CTDs. Please dont take this post as somekind of rant, im just trying to explain the current serversituation from a players point of view. I sencerely hope that these are some of the issues that will be fixed by this upgrade. I might have ATUKO in my tag, but i have OC in my DNA

Darius Shakor	Posted - 2005.10.13 23:34:00 - [76] Originally by: kieron Originally by: Darius Shakor You realise that if it doesn't work, then there will be several planes full of angry fans heading there on the 20th for the fanfest. Why do you think there is a party on the 23rd? Last I heard, there were plans for libations of the alcoholic nature, in addition to Devs acting silly, music and who knows what other shenanigans! Ahh, compensation or just rotting the memory implants. Eitherway, all good and I look forwards to it. And if this all works well, I guess the devs deserve the chill out afterwards. ------ Pain is meant to be felt. It is meant to exist.

Dale Cussler	Posted - 2005.10.14 00:52:00 - [78] Originally by: kieron Originally by: Bon Hedus Can I have the old hardware? I think you'd have to stand in line to get the old stuff. On a more serious note, the older equipment will still be used. This is not a complete change over from old to new, but an upgrade of the existing equipment. Replacing all the old gear is an investment of major proportions and is under discussion. This is just the first step. Sssoooooo.... where can we take our number to get in line for when the old equipment ceases to be equipment and starts to be potential landfill? I want a piece of history, dangit. And uh, great purchase on the RamSan -- I've seen one of them things in action and the performance of it should be enough to make any self-respecting hardware geek go "omgwtfbbqorgazmz0r". Or that could just be me /Dale

darphius	Posted - 2005.10.14 06:32:00 - [80] perhaps when the old gear becomes of new use it will be dropped in a loot can by a 2k rat in 0.8 sec

Ralitge boyter	Posted - 2005.10.14 08:09:00 - [82] Great news. \0/ for solid state disks. CCP would you be so kind as to show us some stats that would show the average user what kind of improvement this has made to the preformance of the system. Would be cool to see if you are closer to the 2 or the 25% speed increase as their marketing pitch states. As for the old hardware in stead of the loot drop how about distributing it among E-on readers. Anyone with a years subscription is automaticly enterd in to the competition. Or even better just do away with the competition and send it all to me you have my address I am sure as E-on (a great magazine by the way) arived right on time.

If you have a problem with that please feel free not to tell me.
SengH	Posted - 2005.10.14 08:57:00 - [84] an estimate for performance would be running a program totally off your system memory rather than going thru the harddrive. This link might be a bit more informative. http://www.superspeed.com/images/pc-mag.gif This is a small ramdrive program you can use for desktops to create a "ramdrive" off your own system memory. The only downside is that every time you shut your computer down you lose everything. The solid state drives that CCP bough do NOT suffer from this and that drives up the cost considerably. When you have a bunch of them in an array, the bandwidth you have is virtually unlimited in comparison to everything else in the system. In fact the next most probable bottleneck would be the servers itself/ the gigabit NICs interconnecting them... (more likely the servers though).

Drogos	Posted - 2005.10.14 13:26:00 - [86] Is 128GB enough to hold the entire database, or is this going to be used in a caching setup? The latter seems more likely, as I can't see 128GB being enough to hold all the information accumulated by ~75,000 subscribers, in ~5000 star systems, with millions upon millons of little bits of data representing assets. Anyone from CCP care to comment? -=-=-=-=-=-=- Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated. -Sun Tzu

Wait a year: you'll be able to get this: http://www.mc.com/cell/press2.cfm Quote: The Dual Cell-Based Blade, based on IBM's industry-leading BladeCenter(R) design, will offer unprecedented peak performance of 400 GFLOPS and feature two IBM Cell BE processors, as well as XDR(TM) memory from Rambus Inc.

That would require a TOTAL code rewrite from the ground up for custom hardware which isnt ever going to happen. Also GFLOPS is not the only thing that people look at when buying server hardware. Edit: The'd have to rewrite everything from the node handling software to the proxys. All in in-order code. It would be suicide if they attempted something like that.
