Has anybody tried LinuxDNA?

I was watching a favorite IPTV show of mine, and they had an interview about LinuxDNA. From what I understood, it allows you to optimize the kernel specifically for what you do, for example gaming. They claim to have a 200 FPS increase on Quake 3 once they optimized the system. Has anybody gotten LinuxDNA to work on Arch?

Hi, this is Tyler McAdams. I was the one interviewed about LinuxDNA on hak5.org. Please allow me to clarify.
The 200fps increase is NOT with an ICC compiled kernel. It is strictly with GCC. An ICC compiled system with both an ICC compiled kernel and ICC system code with IPO and PGO optimizations would probably increase the FPS about 20fps or so on top of 200fps.
When I say 200 fps per sec increase, I am referencing to over Vista Ultimate on the same hardware:
P4 EE 3.4ghz, 4Gigs PC3200, Supermico P4SCT mobo, nVidia Geforce 7950 GT 512MB, KillerNic gaming network card, and X-Fi Fatality gaming sound card.
The Linux system tested was a highly optimized Gentoo Linux system that was optimized to do one thing only: gaming. The idea is to have a special gaming system that you can dual boot in to a lan events... etc for hard-core gamers. You would not and could not use this system for anything other than gaming.
We have many uses for the kernel, gaming hpc, netbooks...etc All of these uses are specialized and furthermore optimized through PGO profiling for a specific purpose. That is how we can get extra performance that a generic Windows or even Linux install can not.
Quake 3 is a cpu intensive game that works well on Intel hardware. That is why I picked it to talk about. It shows what you can do by optimizing a system for gaming.

  • Has anybody tried the Day-Timer iPhone App -  Syncs. Calendar + Todo list?

    I have had my iPhone 3Gs calender sync. break several times,
    and honestly none of them seem to be my "fault". I stumbled across this app. and for $6 I'd take the cowards way out rather than try to fix my current broken sync. problem with iTunes. Has anybody tried this?

    Frankly the demo. seems pretty clever:

    I have not connection with Day-Timer company... other than being a potential customer

    Vlingo doesn't consume all the app memory space itself... it can be used by a number of factors, including the browser cache.
    Your unintall of Vlingo also caused a reboot of the device in which all the free memory space was cleared, from routine use of the BB device.

  • Has anybody tried to transfer Hi-8 video to iDVD?

    Has anybody tried to transfer Hi-8 video to iDVD?

    Has anybody tried to transfer Hi-8 video to iDVD?
    I have done lots of that.
    To get your Hi-8 video into iMovie, use the Grassvalley ADVC300.  With the ADVC300 Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 (I have used it a few times with iMovie 11).

  • Has anybody tried this multirow header JTable sample?

    Hi,
    http://www2.gol.com/users/tame/swing/examples/JTableExamples1.html
    I found a link to this sample from this forum, and I need to implement a similar functionality. I tried running the code of this sample but it returns a "NullPointerException" for the call "GetHeaderRenderer" in the class "GroupableTableHeaderUI".
    Has anybody tried this, and if so, how do I get this sample to work ??
    Thanks,
    R.

    I ran into this problem a while ago. If you are using SDK 1.3 and above, tame's example won't work. You need to some minor modification in the "GroupableTableHeaderUI" java file. I have already made it work under SDK 1.3.02. I don't have the source code at home. So, if you need to take look at my source code please let me know, I can either e-mail or post it when I return to my office.

  • Has anybody tried these speakers?

    Hi,
    I am kinda new here so I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question? I want to buy a set of external speakers for my kid's ipod, and he wants these giant earbud things. I found them on Amazon for $50, but then the same thing on ebay for $18.95 - apparently some sort of liquidation or something. Has anyone tried these? How is the sound?

    Hi guys,
    Could anyone share his experiences about installing Oracle RAC
    on Solaris zones located on single physical machine ?
    I created 2 sparse root zones , presented the same raw devices for ocr and votedisk to them and try to install clusterware,
    but during clusterware initialization there is an error
    OCROSD[1]utsz:3: ioctl DKIOCGAPART failed. errno 48
    Does anybody tried similar configuration ?

  • Has anybody tried to uninstall ML

    I installed ML on Friday the 27th and quickly realized it was not gonna work, "Power PC" products no longer worked like Excell or Word and as a realtor I need access to the realtor data base which only works in Explorer and that no longer worked. Well the bottom line uninstalling has been a nightmare. Phone support couldn't get it done so I have to go into the store. I am rather shocked that Mac no longer wants to play with PC products. That was the 1 thing besides a bug free system that kicked PC's but. No matter what Mac would always work with 99% of all applications. Bummer, I was really looking forward to the new product. Now have to try and get my money back for the ML bomb.

    Cloning as backup allows you to keep and have a bootable copy or image of your system before you do the update, even allows you to wipe the system you have and then install and use Setup Assistant to bring it back to how it was and still keep your old system on an external drive for backup and safety net - such as here.

  • Has anybody tried to design an Illustrator panel as windows WPF and load it as a plug-in?

    This would allow to quickly design neat panels, at least for Windows ;-)

    As far as I know, the only way to design illustrator panel is
    - to use FlashBuilder and Extension Builder to create a flash-based extesion. (CS5-CS6). (flex).
    - or to use a third party library to design it (such Qt).
    - For Creative Cloud extensions/plugins panel, you will have to use HTML5.
      (flash-based extension will be deprecated).

  • Has anybody tried wifi printers HP LaserJet P1102w or Samsung ML-2165W on 10.8.1?

    The subject says it all... I have found some experiences for both printers, but on 10.7 and below... Anything more recent?
    thanks

    Hi,
    The HP Laserjet P1102w currently only supported via Wireless connection using AirPrint. Full Functionality should be available later.
    Make sure to update the latest firmware of the printer to enable AirPrint and add the printer as you may find listed below:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03425022&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
    And the latest firmware can be found in here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-95186-3 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
    Make sure the printer connected to the wireless network, the Blue light should appear as solid blue.
    If the light is blinking the printer is disconnected from your network. Let me know and I will provide you the steps to connect it to the router.
    Regards,
    Shlomi

  • Mini DVI to DVI + DVI to video out - anybody tried this on Macbook white?

    Hi there,
    reading the posts in the forum it seems quite clear that the mini DVI to video adapter is not compatible with the new Macbook white (early 09).
    Has anybody tried to use a mini DVI to DVI and a DVI to video adapter together? In theory this combination should work but it is possible that Apple has done something to make this combination not working.
    If that is not possibl, has anybody got any other ideas on how to connect a Macbook to a standard tv with the 3 RCA pins (yellow for video and red and white for audio)?
    Thanks a lot
    Mike

    No, Mini DVI to DVI and then DVI to Video won't work either. But this will work used in conjunction with a Mini DVI to VGA Adapter:

    1) Has anybody tried Geil ddr3 with this mobo and if so, did you have any problems with the combination of these products.
    2) Do the timings need to be altered for getting a 4gb (2x2gb) set?

    ( http://www.patriotmemory.org/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=5&catid=13&prodgroupid=71&id=697&type=1 )
    However, most of the Patriot DDR3-1333 are overvoltaged DDR3-1066.
    Try to test their stability at 7-7-7-21 and 1.7V
    good luck
