OpenBSD ought to run nicely on it.

that'd be rape :P

as for the o350 itself, i got one too and i'm very happy with it. it is faster than a fuel simply because it has at least 2 cpus and the rest of the components are the same.
the noise can be regulated by the L1 fan command.

and for the record, it's not a wannabe tezro but actually above the tezro because you can hook up many units to work as one and you have the IR option.
the link gives me: "Couldn't connect to the database" :P

Okay le, let's be realistic. As a storage server, it's ridiculous. 2U, 19" wide, 27" deep (plus all the crap sticking out the back) to hold two disks.

he didn't say his storage was internal

Compile box, it *might* be a little faster than a Fuel but not enough to notice. I've run both.

it's exactly twice as fast (assuming 2 cpus) as soon as the gnu make or any other jobserver kicks in.

Compute, maybe. But only if you are running fea analyses or similar. For general use the Fuel is just as fast.

every program that supports smp is faster. how much faster depends on each program.

Quote:
I'll go another couple steps : I like smp. SMP means never having to sit there while the computer hops and jumps from task to task. But either Irix or the software or a combination of both do not do the job very well. Fireflop is a pile of shit, absolute total unutterable bear squat. This is one application where smp should be gloating over all the uni-p applications but instead, we get "Our javascript is ten times faster so we can hide ten times as much spyware on our website ! Aren't you excited ?!"

haha indeed. i never understood why something as fat as the mozilla poducts never had smp support. at least partially. even more so since today every walmart box has multiple cores.
now it worked. seems they had some issues before ...

in many (most ?) ways it's no better than a Fuel. In some ways it's a lot worse.

hehe no idea why you think so but my 2 previous posts should give a pretty good impression where the o350 and fuel stand
sure if you have no use for what the o350 has more than a fuel then the fuel is perfectly fine.
do you have multiple versions of gtk or related programs installed by any chance?

Not quite. That's two processors on a shared bus - that means that you have just as much memory bandwidth and I/O bandwidth as a single-CPU unit, so linear scaling with CPU count is unlikely.


hehe yes of course, my point was that it's a serious improvement over a single cpu.
i'd also give -O3 a shot. as long as you don't get problems ... why go for less :D

It's best to experiment :)

yup that's why i suggested to give it a shot. since it's for an indy i'd guess he's happy about whatever he can get out of it :)
hehe yeah that's lightwave. nice find indeed, saved it right away :D

Thanks, I tried that. It's still not compiling. I do see some errors looking for stuff like malloc and free, which should be included by default, right?


as usual the output would help ...

I saw a screenshot on 5.3, but I have no idea.

maybe an older version?

gtk1 and gtk2 ... that should not be a problem tho ?


yup that's fine as long as only one of each major version is in the paths

haha might be more fun anyway :P
great thanks tgc :D
the display might be right with another gfx card. iirc the XL series lacked some stuff like z-buffer or so, don't remember exactly right now
iirc a few of the osf features made it into hpux but i wouldn't bet on it :P
did you have any conflicts before starting the installation and if so how did you resolve them?

now I'm busy pimping out a Fuel, and I have this strange urge for a Tezro.

:P

welcome crystalfire, good to see that there're still guys out there using some serious gear. have fun here :D
Code:
versions remove patch1234


whatever number the patch has
i'm still using them for gfx stuff. i even posted a pic for the nekochan 10th bday :D

EDIT: which is there: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16727438&p=7358453#p7358400
iirc the main softimage window is sort of custom. i've never been able to do anything else but either stowing or restoring it.
i only had speed issues once this year. otherwise always fine :)

My workmates aren't into old UNIX stuff at all and I think I'm crazy building this thing up and the amount of HOURS I've put into getting it going again. However I'll do my best to grab a shot soon. Cosmetically it's not too bad but the outer skin on the right hand side has a huge great scratch across it - unfortunately it was the best condition skin out of 5 O2's! :(

I just love how cool it looks on my desk though. Such awesome product designers SGI had!


indeed and it's just as special on the inside :)
jpstewart wrote: Nice!

Call me crazy, but I like the older/slower systems better for some reason. Maybe it's just because you could do so much with so little hardware back then, before software bloat got us to where we are today. And the programmers who got the software to do so much in so little space get my respect, too.

i could sign that completely. i actually still use a moderately equipped indigo2 for stuff because it's so pure and you can see so well if stuff works well or not.
it's also the best for any sort of learning because you get exactly what you tell it to do. no assistants no wizards no other dummy crap; only you and the file. if you can get stuff done there then you actually got skills. the more "modern" systems seem like a joke in comparison.

Speaking of silly effects, has anyone else noticed the horrible color grading in modern Hollywood movies?

indeed and the same trends i noticed for many other things. variety seems to be quite rare these days. as soon as there's one thing considered fancy everybody brainlessly jumps on it no matter what.

look at the cars for example, could you tell which one is from asia, europe or usa? no? indeed because all look so similar one could think there's only one designer who works for all companies :P
great thanks, grabbed and gonna give it a try :D
okay, give me a hint, why a Donald Duck suit?

Now the driving force is gamers, people buying faster computers because their machine is too "slow" (perhaps something to do with the 15 toolbars and 6 "security" programs installed), ridiculously overdesigned webpages, and shoddy coding with unneded glitz.

amen to that and a double scotch for you :D
no doubt osx is the only thing to have besides irix. it has the unix things and is, unlike linux, supported by the major software vendors.
this seems to be a linux toy. irix doesn't have SIOCGIFHWADDR and neither do freebsd or solaris.
funny tho that they do have linux checks but it seems not at the right places :P
looks all very clean. almost like new except you retouched the photos :P

Well, you know, they finally got some developers who really knew what they were doing and noticed all this bizarro big-endian gunk and a whole bunch of includes that weren't present on their Linux boxes, obviously put there by someone who was blotto and completely unfamiliar with how computers are set up. That kind of useless cruft is just asking for trouble, so you strip it out. Then you add in the latest and greatest MS or Apple-look UI library to show you're up-to-date and things are great, right?

that's how it's done :lol:
neat comment ;)
very nice intro Trippynet and welcome here :)
toast 8 worked well for me so far. just been using the copy feature
I adore the Fuel, but the Indy still has the "special place in my heart."


same for me with the indigo2. although it's one of my weakest machines it does have one of the biggest aura hehe
surrealdeal wrote: And they had better documentation...........

it's a niche product and free. i guess you can't have it all :P
grabbed it, too. very nice find thanks :-)
hmm intel dg/ux is news to me, too. wouldn't mind taking it on a ride in a vm tho :-)
surrealdeal wrote: Are you at all involved with oi development?

no, i rarely used one of the distributions but it was quite nice how close it comes to the "real" solaris :-)
