Einen #Desktop #PC habe ich mir vor ein paar Jahren zusammengebaut. Vielleicht hatte ich keine glückliche Hand bei der Auswahl von #CPU, #RAM und #Motherboard und das Zusammenspiel ist nicht optimal?
Er läuft sehr gut - bis auf unvermittelte Totalabstürtze ohne Logeinträge, die mir weiterhelfen konnten.
Irgendwann stolperte ich über ein #Gnome AdOn zur leichten Ampassung der CPU Leistung. Nach der Begrenzung der max. Frequenz via Multimedia-Mode lief er stabil.
Unter #ubuntu 24 funktioniert das AdOn nicht mehr und ich habe mir nun ein Script eingerichtet, welches nach dem Start die max. Frequenz begrenzt:
for cpu in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*; do
cpufreq-set -c "${cpu##*/cpu}" -u 4490000
doneInteressanteweise stürtze er nicht bei Operationen ab, bei denen man es erwartet hätte, z.B. der Transkodierung von #Video. Das letzte Mal rauschte er in die Tiefe, als ich lediglich mit #Firefox #GitHub aufgerufen hatte ... was auch immer da die Frequenz nach oben getrieben hat?
Es handlet sich um einen Intel® Core™ i7-9700. Dass ich die 4,7 GHz nicht zur Verfügung habe stört mich übrigens gar nicht. Jedenfalls bemerke ich keine langsamere Arbeitsumgebung durch die Begrenzung ... und Gnome ist offenbar seit den neuen Versionen stark optimiert worden, was die Geschwindigkeit angeht...

The foundations of internet communications were set 56 years ago, when 'LO' was transmitted from UCLA to SRI on the ARPANET.

Chipmakers puting AI cores in your CPU and not letting you use them for absolutely anything is the biggest waste of silicon in the history of modern computing.
Those tensor cores are godsend for things like large-scale CAD simulations but the only SDKs/samples provided are hardwired to run pretrained models.
There's no way to access the matrix/tensor capabilities directly. And that goes for both AMD and Intel.

Numlock on keyboard toggles light but that’s about it.
Memtest86 has come up clean in the recent past. Disks are fine. Video card is ok too I swapped all these for spare components.
