I read somewhere that a modern scientific calculator is more powerful than the computers the astronauts in the Apollo program used in the craft they were riding in to the moon.

Anyone remember the old days when we thought 64k RAM and a 5MB hard drive was a fast machine?

Yes - I am not saying my entire farm has that much ram. You can get away with much, much less, but I have servers that go that high.

Did I read that right you have 768GB of RAM?

This is kinda new to me - Just so I am clear - unganged systems would perform better if I have say - a caching system with limited threads each pined to a specific core (we do this for processor cache anyway) while ganged systems would perform better it I was spinning up a new thread for each request and had a large amount (say 768GB) of ram running something like PostgreSQL where threads are being fired up and down many thousands of times a second but the data they seek is mostly in main memory.

On-board bios usually will not allocate that much however. And by usually will not I mean I have never sen it do so, even in the days of ghetto ram thieving by graphics chip-sets.

But why does CentOS not register all of my memory? Why less than 3/4 of it?


Perhaps the bios has allocated a chunk of it to onboard video?
