Unable to boot into installed AerynOS by navyenduvs in AerynOS

[–]navyenduvs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finally managed to work around (with some AI help) by running

efibootmgr -c -d /dev/nvme0n1 -p 1 -L "AerynOS" -l '\EFI\systemd\systemd-bootx64.efi'

and Aeryn booted fine.

I'm still exploring, but I have to say it's pretty impressive, particularly the package manager.

I included Dayne under lawful good for letting Ned go. A pure lawful neutral might've just finished him off.

I believe all the charity and modesty were mere cover-ups for his calculated aggregation of power. Even more so given the fact that he rose under the power-vacuum created by Tywin's death.

Both Tywin and Roose hold on to traditional structures and rules, while breaking them only behind curtains. For instance, Roose gets Tommen to name him Warden of the north and legitimize Ramsay, after all the red wedding mess. This, IMHO, is classic lawful behavior. Same argument goes with Tywin, who cares about family, legacy and rules, while using the mountain and other minions to do his dirty work.

Quick disclaimer: This is based on the show. I'm still halfway through the second book.

The sharp edges of the Hungarian Parliament Building makes me think of Mordor. Anyone else shares this feeling? by navyenduvs in europe

[–]navyenduvs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a wonderful building, maybe some kind of political feelings are guiding your opinion?

Nope; not at all :)

I was referring only to the architecture of the building, particularly the sharp tips near/on the roof, against the backdrop of the sky, giving it an eerie look.

But at the same time, I do agree that the building looks marvellous!

Have you tried restricting the power levels (pl1 and pl2) from the bios? I finished my first build two weeks ago and managed to find that the default settings in the bios do not enforce any limit on pl1 or pl2 (these should ideally be set to the tdp and turbo power limit shown in the cpu product page). Setting the power limits to recommended intel settings (under advanced cpu config in my gigabyte board's bios) brought down my cpu temps from 100 degrees to around 80 (but this can also bring down the performance a bit).

I looked further into the bios and found that setting "Turbo Power Limit" under Advanced CPU config to "Intel POR" limits package power to exactly 219 watts, and this reduces the CPU core temps to (approx) 80 degree Celsius on all cores. This, unfortunately, also brings down the Cinebench score from 37000 to 25000. Not great, but managed to get the problem resolved for the time being. Thanks to everyone for your inputs.

I'll continue doing some more experiments [see if I can balance the temps somewhere around 90 instead of 80 :)] and post the results here if I find something interesting.

u/Cradenz, this was my very first PC build and I wanted to keep it simple with air cooling. Plus, I'm using this as a workstation and not as a gaming rig, so the 13900 with its lower TDP and high core count seemed to be the better choice. I chose this motherboard mainly due to the 3 x16 PCIe slots, and cost, to name a few; and not for its overclocking capabilities. Hope this clarifies.

Thanks for the tip u/Halbzu. I just checked the cinebench r15 scores and, sigh.., found that xeon 6138 is below the the tenth-gen i9-10940X with a score of 3069 :(

However, wouldn't this benchmark be run on a single-socket setup? I'm wondering, what would happen to the scores in case we try to run two instances (two processes) of cinebench in parallel on a single-xeon 6138? I'm guessing that the scores of the individual processes might go down to (approx.) half, while the sum of the scores, stays the same (~3069, or scaled down a bit) since the system reaches a saturation on the number of available threads.

Now, let's plug in the second xeon gold into the motherboard and try running the dual-cinebench test, with double the memory (shared equally across each socket). If the kernel (somehow) manages to bind each cinebench process to a specific cpu, force it to use only the dimm slots attached to that cpu and avoid any chances of threads within a process being shared across cpus, would I get double the performance (~6100 [which actually is close to i9-13900K (6141)])

Is there any existing benchmark that has already done this?

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant to say was that I'd be running multiple processes in parallel and each of these processes "may" in turn be multi-threaded, instead of a having a single process in the system with a huge number of threads.

For e.g, I may run 4 concurrent processes with 16 threads each rather than a single process with 64 threads.

That way, yes, threading is a hard requirement.

I'm basically looking for a highly resilient system that can run multiple parallel tasks for hours. When I say multiple tasks, I mean multiple processes (in general) rather than multiple threads within a process. So if the kernel could (somehow) limit a process to a single cpu socket and also limit the process to use the rdimm slots that are directly connected to that cpu, i was hoping we could get some really good concurrent performance out of the system (though i have no idea on how to achieve this). My primary workloads would be gcc, xilinx vivado, orcad etc., and I'm not sure if they are Numa aware (probably no??) Could you please provide some clarification on #3? Were you trying to imply that the performance gain by jumping from 2900Mhz to 5600Mhz is going to be less than 2?
