Initiative for Advanced Research in Technology and the Arts
In the music composition studio, two large computer screens display jumbled letters and numbers in an array of flow charts. Crisp, chiming notes come from the speakers, making sounds that could be heard in a space film soundtrack.
These noises and charts are the results of composition senior Caleb Rehmet's extracurricular project, converting the genetic data of roundworms into sound.

The three-phase project began this semester as a collaboration between Rehmet and biology senior Irán Román, who both share an interest in music and genetics.
"It's for my own research," Rehmet said. "Irán [Román] sort of semi-commissioned me to do this, just to find out if there is a possible way to actually have an alternative method for studying a specimen using sonification, or sound."
Rehmet will be showcasing his research today for University Scholars Day at the Gateway Center.
It will be challenging to explain his processes that incorporate genetics, composition and programming, he said.
Rehmet is working with the hif-1 gene of small roundworms, referred to as C. elegans. DNA found in the worms' genetic data consists of nucleotides, or molecules, that have an alphabetical label.
Rehmet translates the alphabetic data into numerical data through various programs.
A string-based synthesis instrument then reads the numerical data and produces a sound corresponding with the numbers. As the genes inside the worm move and interact, a sequence of sounds is created.
"If a scientist were to listen to it, and they hear a certain timbre or certain pitch relationship, they could tell, 'Oh, this is this kind of relationship, this is this kind of interaction,'" Rehmet said.
Román said that although he values the actual results, he is more interested in the act of combining biology and music, and creating a living piece of art.
"What Caleb is achieving through his project is very valuable from the standpoint of expanding what interdisciplinary can do, by interactions of fields that are so apart from each other in our society," Román said. "By bringing together these worlds, you get other possibilities."
Rehmet is involved in the Initiative for Advanced Research in Technology and the Arts, a research cluster at UNT dedicated to exploring artistic expression through technology.
The field of visualizing scientific data is well established, said iARTA coordinator and composition professor David Stout, but a subsection of data representation through sound has only recently developed.
"There is considerable interest to see, or hear, just how effectively this may aid researchers in data-driven fields," Stout said. "Composers, especially electronic composers, are well suited to help carry out this inquiry."
Rehmet's ambition to take on this project will benefit his own compositions skills, as well as the scientific and artistic communities, Stout said.
Rehmet said he hopes to complete a phase each semester, eventually developing usable techniques for creating music and for looking at genetic data.
"What I hope, ultimately, is to find a way that will be effective, that will be great to scientists and to artists," he said.

Configuration help for the following advanced topics is included below:
Follow these steps to restrict access to only andrew.cmu.edu users:
Note: This configuration should be used to support legacy applications only. New web services should be designed to use an identifier in the form of "user@domain" to represent the authenticated identity. To release "cmuAndrewCommonNamespaceID" for your service provider, email a request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Follow these steps to present the "REMOTE_USER" environment variable without the domain component:
In addition to accepting identities from InCommon, some applications have an additional administrative area that will only accept identities from a specific identity provider. Administrative users may find it annoying to work through a discovery service when they know that certain web pages will only accept identities from specific identity provider. The shibboleth2.xml configuration file normally defines where a user is directed when Shibboleth authentication is required.
In the shibboleth2.xml configuration file, the user may be directed to a discovery service:
<SSO discoveryProtocol="SAMLDS" discoveryURL="https://wayf.incommonfederation.org/DS/WAYF">
or to one specific identity provider:
<SSO entityID="https://some-idp.domain.edu/idp/shibboleth">
In the apache configuration file the following directives are normally used to protect pages with Shibboleth and will redirect an authenticating user to a discovery service or idenity provider specified in shibboleth2.xml:
<Location /somewebpath/*.cgi>
AuthType shibboleth
ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
ShibUseHeaders on
require valid-user
The following directives within an Apache configuration file will overrided the specification within the shibboleth2.xml file for specific pages and direct the authenticating user to a specific identity provider:
<Location /anotherwebpath/*.cgi>
AuthType shibboleth
ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
ShibRequestSetting entityId https://login.cmu.edu/idp/shibboleth
ShibUseHeaders on
require valid-user
Note that this configuration only affects where users are directed when authentication is required. Those who already have Shibboleth sessions will not be redirected even if they have not authenticated via the https://login.cmu.edu/idp/shibboleth. The restrictions on acceptance of user identities by the application must still be enforced by the application itself.

MochiLast night
I lost control again and ate too much :(
Today I'll start that grilled meat at dinner thing, really hope it works. 7 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
I lost control again and ate too much :(
Today I'll start that grilled meat at dinner thing, really hope it works. 7 years ago
My mother agreed that I lose control too easily when it comes to snacks. It was a little hard to hear this from someone else, but perhaps it will help me to be stronger. 7 years ago
That's the translated name of a book I intend to buy soon…it's about separating your emotions from what you eat…
Hope this can be useful…I realised I send all my emotional problems down my throat. 7 years ago
- Drink more water, so at least my stomach is full of something
- Eat more meat, especially at night…I read it's better than carbs for dinner, and that it helps to control carboidrate compulsion. 7 years ago
I'm doing pretty bad in this goal…I have compulsive eating episodes everyday…I eat so much, and I know, but can't help it… I just think "whatever", eat eat eat eat eat eat and then my next thought is "my god, what have I done?" and throw everything up. That's so awful, I never had something like this before…I really have to fight with myself, it's not just close your mouth and voila.
By the way, all the days I haven't written down the stuff I ate in my journal…that's because I couldn't remember, since I ate so many different things. 7 years ago
A cup of tea helped me to control my compulsion. But I don't know if it's for real or just psychological. 7 years ago

Just re-reading Feists' Magician series again. Will take a look at World War Z next. Although I have fond memories of the Duncton Wood chronicles from too many years ago, may dig them out next.

Just re-reading Feists' Magician series again. Will take a look at World War Z next. Although I have fond memories of the Duncton Wood chronicles from too many years ago, may dig them out next.
Currently sitting through Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy, about a quarter of the way through The Crossing. Bloody love it so far.
What am I reading?
Situations Vacant.
The Merrily Watkins was OK, but I'm getting a bit bored of the heroine's passivity.
"Goblins vs Dwarves" so far a lot of fun, but not as good as the first one.
Not long finished Ken folletts world without end, now wading through the new Dan brown one.. Like others have said, bit hard going but typical brown really..
Waiting for the third part of Robyn youngs insurrection trilogy hopefully some point this year.. Failing that might try to find dantes Devine comedy ;D
Re-reading Stephen King's "IT"
I'd forgotten how well he writes :)
Re-Reading Sniper One at the moment, Bit of an armchair general so enjoy books by Stephen E. Ambrose along with fiction by Chris Ryan.
Song of Fire and Ice (game of thrones) is a good long read, the first book I couldn't put down, found the second one a struggle though.
Christopher Hitchens is always a thought provoking read. (not just his religious books *ducks*)
Reading 'The Long Earth' by Terry Pratchett and Steve Baxter, love the concept and the authors are exploring it beautifully. Already looking forward to it's sequel.
I don't understand how you guys could stick with Wheel Of Time for so long. It's the most boring, stodgy guff I've ever read. The main characters are literally never in danger, and the plot is unbelievably easy to predict. I'd say it's a book for teenagers, but imo it's pitched too low even for them. I stuck with it up to book 3 but I had to stop because the plot was just annoying me. It reminded me of some terrible anime plot, something like Bleach or DBZ where the characters face progressively larger "evils" (each time slightly too strong for them initially) and keep conveniently discovering NEW UNKNOWN ANCIENT TECHNIQUES to defeat them. As an adult, I wouldn't bother.
Thanks @Sdrawkcab - I'd hoped there would be more than just ASOIAF out there, I just didn't know what it was. I will scout out that trilogy as soon as I can, much appreciated :cool:
Just finished The Tears of My Soul by Kim Hyun Hee. A very interesting book about a North Korean trained as a terrorist and how she deals with her actions once she realises life outside North Korea is very different from the image she has had beaten into her.
Now I need something slightly more lighthearted though! So I am reading Train Man/ Densha Otaku. Its about an Otaku in Akihabara and his fellow geeks guiding him through his first dating experience. Its very sweet/scarily familiar. Its also copied straight from an internet forum with plenty of ASCII art included so I feel right at home!
Re-reading The White Queen by Philippa Gregory prior to it being televised. It's the story of Elizabeth Woodville wife of Edward IV and mother of the Princes in the Tower. I'm a bit of a sucker for a historical novel. The difficulty being separating the fact from the fiction and everyone seems to be called Edward, Henry, George or Richard! A good read. Hope the TV lives up to the book

Penn State York's Chancellor's Honor Certificate in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), is designed to provide students with the skills they need for jobs in the 21st century. The certificate is designed for high school students taking part in the dual enrollment program. Studies have shown that the demand for students with STEM degrees continues to grow.
Through dual enrollment, high school students can earn college credit while still in high school. A variety of courses are available at the campus for dual enrollment and courses toward the STEM certificate are included. High school students may receive a scholarship in the amount of 50 percent of the tuition for up to 8 credits per semester for the courses in the certificate if they meet program criteria.
Credits earned under the provisions of this program are valid at any Penn State location and may be transferred to another institution in the same way as any other Penn State credits.
Who is Eligible for the Program?
- High school juniors or seniors with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 and a combined two-part Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score of 1,000
- Students who maintain a grade of "C" or better in each course may remain in the program
- Students who have graduated from high school may not participate in this program
Program Components or Curriculum
The STEM credit certificate provides four academic tracks of study: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. All students will take three core courses; MATH 022 or MATH 026, CAS 100B,and IST 110. MATH 026 is required for the mathematics track.Based on their area of interest, students will choose EDSGN 100, BIOL 141/142, MATH 140, or CMPSC 101.
Mathematics testing is required of all students and is used for advising and course placement. The results of this test determine the level of mathematics at which you will begin in the certificate.The test is important for most students since STEM majors require course work in the mathematical sciences.The fourth course is an elective.
MATH 022 College Algebra II and Analytic Geometry (3 credits)
Relations, functions, graphs; polynomial, rational functions, graphs; word problems; nonlinear inequalities; inverse functions; exponential, logarithmic functions; conic sections; simultaneous equations.
MATH 026 Plane Trigonometry (3 credits)
Trigonometric functions; solutions of triangles; trigonometric equations; identities. (Required for Math STEM Track)
CAS 100B Effective Speech (3 credits)
This is a general education course designed to introduce students to principles of effective communication with a specific focus on group problem-solving through in-class activities, peer critiques, and analysis of both process and product. This course is designed to allow students to actively work in groups and engage in self-analysis of their own group processes.
IST 110 Information, People, and Technology (3 credits)
The use, analysis, and design of information systems and technologies to organize, coordinate, and inform human enterprises.
EDSGN 100 Introduction to Engineering Design (3 credits)

Denied by CABON now to take LVN.. - page 6
Can anyone help me here,im planning to take the LVN exam because I just got denied by CABON because of the concurrency issue..I just want to know: Method #3 Equivalent Education and/or Experience(the PAHARMACOLOGY course)do... Read More
- 0Mar 15, '12 by bsnwnabQuote from proudpinayI don't think it matters weather it's method 2 or 3 because you end up filling up the same form (Record of Nursing Program) and needing the sealed official transcript. Think I'm correct that you don't need to send the 'experience' and 'employment verification' forms.thanks and you brought up that question too..honestly Im also confuse about the LVN application..between method 2 and 3,what is really the difference..
- 0Mar 16, '12 by proudpinayso kabayan no need for record of nursing experience and employment verification...thats good less hassle...
- 0Mar 16, '12 by retetestisWhat is the postcard which the BVNPT is requiring??
"H. Postcard (55A-7) Write your name and address on the postcard provided. Make sure to place a postage stamp on the postcard to receive verification that your application was received by the Board.
(Note: Not applicable for applications downloaded from the internet.)"
Guys who are applying or planning to apply for LVN, what's the first step you took? It's more complicated compared to the BRN. Just making sure I'm on the right track. Did you guys know how long will it take us if we take our deficiency? I tried contacting some schools but I haven't yet found any that offers only my deficiency. Thanks!
- 0Mar 16, '12 by proudpinaykabayan you are right its very complicated until now im confuse...help pls...
- 0Mar 17, '12 by dragon_ladyI know it is really complicated.After i take LVN and hopefully passed,i'll get a CGFNS-CES and try another state.But i'm not sure where to start.
- 1Mar 17, '12 by RN_Mariemost of the applicants here are applying for a vn license using method 3 (click for application)
i am a lvn and the bvnpt is more rigorous than the cabon (i also have my rn license and dealing with them is way easier than the bvnpt). based on the boards website, make sure you have the following before applying for the boards (they generally take 3-4 weeks to process each application).
method #3: completion of equivalent education and experience.
- pharmacology - 54 hours

- 0Mar 17, '12 by proudpinay@ CCRN_Marie...thanks for the information that you provided however some of us doesnt have enough paid bedside nursing experience and like me i do have paid bedside nursing experience but it didnt reach 51 months..so i guess we dont need to fill up those form?..thats why Im kinda confuse..
- 0Mar 17, '12 by RN_MarieQuote from proudpinayYou don't need paid bedside experience because all you need is to have the total of clinical and lecture hours mandated by BVNPT. You are using method 3 because you're petitioning for the equivalent education (it's equivalent education OR paid experience... they are not mutually exclusive).@ CCRN_Marie...thanks for the information that you provided however some of us doesnt have enough paid bedside nursing experience and like me i do have paid bedside nursing experience but it didnt reach 51 months..so i guess we dont need to fill up those form?..thats why Im kinda confuse..
If you have the hours specified above, and your school can validate that for you, then you are qualified to take the NCLEX- PN exam.
- 0Mar 17, '12 by proudpinay@ CCRN_Marie...ok now I know what to do hehehe...thanks for your help my friend..
- 0Mar 18, '12 by NurseCubanitaRN2bJust an FYI, you may not qualify for the Method #3 because I believe that's for CNAs with many years experience in all fields of nursing who can take the NCLEX-PN. You may want to contact the BVNPT directly and get clairfication because using method #3 will limit your scope as an LVN. You may not be able to take the IV ceritfication with using Method #3. I'm advising you to contact the board directly. You may be able to apply as a LVN with out using any of the methods. Good Luck

A Weekend in Houston
Catherine and I had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful city of Houston, TX this past weekend to stop by a couple of churches for impression visits.
We left on Friday afternoon and flew into Houston to be ready for our visits on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we returned to Woodsedge Community Church in Spring, TX and did more impressions for musicians that are involved with "The David Project". We have been to visit Woodsedge 2 or 3 times a year since 2007. We want to thank Leann Francis, Greg Johnson and Woodsedge for their continued support of Fidelity Custom Earphones. We would also like to thank Jonathan Rennie with New Haven and David Hogan with Spring First for introducing us to some wonderful people. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone.
Sunday morning was spent with the wonderful music department of Champion Forest Baptist Church. This was our first visit to Champion Forest, and we hope to make future visits. Thanks to Jonathan Inabnit, Matt Rhodes and everyone else at Champion Forest for their hospitality and a wonderful Palm Sunday Service.
Remember folks, if you have a group of people interested in Fidelity Custom Earphones, contact Catherine and ask her about the requirements for us to visit your organization for an impression session. We would love to come and visit you.Join the forum discussion on this post - (1) Posts

Bitcoin Currency and GPU Mining Performance Comparison
What is a Bitcoin?
This article looking at Bitcoins and the performance of various GPUs with mining them was really a big team effort at PC Perspective. Props goes out to Tim Verry for doing the research on the process of mining and helping to explain what Bitcoins are all about. Ken Addison did a great job doing through an alottment of graphics cards running our GUIMiner and getting the data you will see presented later. Scott Michaud helped with some graphics and imagery and I'm the monkey that just puts it all together at the end.
** Update 7/13/11 ** We recently wrote another piece on the cost of the power to run our Bitcoin mining operations used in this performance article. Based on the individual prices of electric in all 50 states of the US, we found that the cost of the power to run some cards exceeded the value of the Bitcoin currency based on today's exchange rates. I would highly recommend you check out that story as well after giving this performance-based article a thorough reading. ** End Update **
A new virtual currency called Bitcoin has been receiving a great deal of news fanfare, criticism and user adoption. The so called cryptographic currency uses strong encryption methods to eliminate the need for trust when buying and selling goods over the Internet in addition to a peer-to-peer distributed timestamp server that maintains a public record of every transaction to prevent double spending of the electronic currency. The aspect of Bitcoin that has caused the most criticism and recent large rise in growth lies in is its inherent ability to anonymize the real life identities of users (though the transactions themselves are public) and the ability to make money by supporting the Bitcoin network in verifying pending transactions through a process called "mining" respectively. Privacy, security, cutting out the middle man and making it easy for users to do small casual transactions without fees as well as the ability to be rewarded for helping to secure the network by mining are all selling points (pun intended) of the currency.
When dealing with a more traditional and physical local currency, there is a need to for both parties to trust the currency but not much need to trust each other as handing over cash is fairly straightforward. One does not need to trust the other person as much as if it were a check which could bounce. Once it has changed hands, the buyer can not go and spend that money elsewhere as it is physically gone. Transactions over the Internet; however, greatly reduce the convenience of that local currency, and due to the series of tubes' inability to carry cash through the pipes, services like Paypal as well as credit cards and checks are likely to be used in its place. While these replacements are convenient, they also are much riskier than cash as fraudulent charge-backs and disputes are likely to occur, leaving the seller in a bad position. Due to this risk, sellers have to factor a certain percentage of expected fraud into their prices in addition to collecting as much personally identifiable information as possible. Bitcoin seeks to remedy these risks by bringing the convenience of a local currency to the virtual plane with irreversible transactions, a public record of all transactions, and the ability to trust strong cryptography instead of the need for trusting people.
There are a number of security measures inherent in the Bitcoin protocol that assist with these security goals. Foremost, bitcoin uses strong public and private key cryptography to secure coins to a user. Money is handled by a bitcoin wallet, which is a program such as the official bitcoin client that creates public/private key pairs that allow you to send and receive money. You are further able to generate new receiving addresses whenever you want within the client. The wallet.dat file is the record of all your key pairs and thus your bitcoins and contains 100 address/key pairs (though you are able to generate new ones beyond that). Then, to send money one only needs to sign the bitcoin with their private key and send it to the recipient's public key. This creates a chain of transactions that are secured by these public and private key pairs from person to person. Unfortunately this cryptography alone is not able to prevent double spending, meaning that Person A could sign the bitcoin with his private key to Person B, but also could do the same to Person C and so on. This issue is where the peer-to-peer and distributed computing aspect of the bitcoin protocol come into play. By using a peer-to-peer distributed timestamp server, the bitcoin protocol creates a public record of every transaction that prevents double spending of bitcoins. Once the bitcoin has been signed to a public key (receiving address) with the user's private key, and the network confirms this transaction the bitcoins can no longer be spent by Person A as the network has confirmed that the coin belongs to Person B now, and they are the only ones that can spend it using their private key.
Keep reading our article that details the theories behind Bitcoins as well as the performance of modern GPUs in mining them!
The privacy and anonymity afforded by the bitcoin protocol has received flak recently due to the currency being used to purchase illegal drugs and other products online. The US government has seen a number of members speak out against the currency because of the illegal drug involvement and taxation implications. However, bitcoin is not the only currency that is used by a number of people for illegal uses, and it is certainly not representative of a majority of illegal usage. Regardless of the relatively small number of illegal uses, the privacy afforded by bitcoin is not inherently a bad thing. As the Internet equivalent to a local currency such as cash, bitcoin is able to facilitate a much higher level of anonymity than other currencies used online. The privacy implications are not only good for those mis-using it for nefarious purposes; it is actually a good thing for legal transactions because sellers do not need to collect nearly as much personally identifiable information in order to trust the buyer enough to go through with the sale. Traditionally, telephone numbers, addresses, financial information, and other personal information has been required in order for even the most mundane transactions over the Internet as sellers needed to protect themselves as much as possible from fraud.
I think it is your responsibility to deter readers more actively from investing in hardware in order to conduct bitcoin mining and distance yourselves from those activities. It is easy for people to understand that they can make money from computing power, but it takes some very careful reading to understand that by design, this whole enterprise will become less and less profitable over time. So I think it would be better to put the emphasis of the article on parallel computing performance and to use bitcoin merely for illustrative purposes. At the very least, you should factor in the energy costs in your profitability analysis, but in my opinion, calculating projections is misleading and even deceptive, given the facts about Bitcoin (see below).
So my warning here:
Investing in hardware in order to engage in bitcoin mining is a highly risky and quite possibly loss-making idea!
The calculations of "Days to payoff" and "1 year profit" in this article are misleading: Not only is the rate of bitcoin creation is deliberately being slowed as the total number of bitcoins approaches 21 millions, it is also getting more and more difficult to accumulate enough computing power as the number of participants in bitcoin mining is increasing (as people reading this article and others will start setting up their own mining operation). The only effect countering this deterioration in profitability would be an increase in the dollar value of the bitcoin, which is uncertain and unpredictable.
Oh hey look, that's already in the article..
"Please keep in mind that we understand that these values will change over time not only because of the exchange rate differences but because your ability to mine Bitcoins will slow down over time as the algorithm to find coins becomes more and more complex as the network hashing power increases. Read over the first two pages of the article again to understand WHY this happens but just know the results you will see below are based on an instance in time during this writing process!"
I hope this is a dumb question, but what prevents a virus from creating a mining botnet?
Nothing really. Plus a virus which specifically only attempted GPU mining would be alot easier to hide in the windows environment since most users are unlikely to be monitoring GPU usage levels when simply web browsing etc.
A virus which intelligently slowed its mining attack if the user was trying to do something GPU intensive (gaming), in order to hide the system use and keep the user from noticing massive in-game slowdown, could likely mine away unnoticed.
I do not fully understand the setup in regards to mining as a pool though, which is what you would ultimately want all your zombied systems to do. I guess it is probably not 'that' difficult to setup a pooling setup given how many continue popping up, plus presumably someone writing a virus specifically targetted at hijacking GPU cycles is probably a decent enough coder.
There have actually been some botnets (that have since been shut down) mining for pools; however, they were thousands of computers using the CPUs to mine as access to the GPU hardware is more difficult/would require more end user cooperation to get that botnet software installed and running, AFAIK.
This test didn't use DiabloMiner, so it's automatically invalid.
What price did you use for power in your profit calculations? At 500W for a simple 6990 system, total power consumption in a year of 24/7 use will be 4380 kWh. Your profit after one year will be negative if your price for power is more than about 35 cents, assuming constant difficulty. All Nvidia cards will operate at a loss unless your power is very cheap or free.
Difficulty is about 1000 times larger now than half a year ago, btw. Power cost has become the most important factor in mining profitabilty.
You should check out the second article for a host of details on that topic:
For european readers, the power use is a bit more important. 1kwh of power costs on average around 0.25 euro.
Which means a system like the beast (using 1kw of power) will cost you 0.25*24*365 = 2190 euros per year in electricity.
The beast yearly produces 3637 dollar equivalent bit coins, which is about 2584 Euros.
That means it will effectively only produce 394 euros. And that is not counting the cost of buying the system.
A 6990 in the default BIOS position should generate 330 MHash/s PER core. That's 660 MHash/s per card. I'm not sure why, but your card is showing a much slower speed on one of the cores. (~285.3 MHash/s)
Switch the BIOS switch to position 2 and you'll be at 360-375 MHash/s per core.
You also seem to be missing the most basic flags for GUIMiner running poclbm: -v -w128
Does anyone see this as an AMD ATI scam? I smell so O_o
Your cpu usage is silly!
It's prolly the guiminer interface or something.
My 'rig' runs 350Mh/s on i7 2600k and HD6970 and rarely hits 4% cpu usage.
And that is while i run an active minecraft server and use the rig to watch videos and stuff (gets it to about 8% for SD video).
I'm using the Phoenix miner btw.
"... maximum performance on a Core i7-2600K of 8 instructions x 4 cores x 3.4 GHz = 108.8 GigaInstructions."
It's 4 integer operations/instruction x 3 instructions/clock x 4 cores x 3.4 GHz = 163.2 GigaInstructions/second. AVX is 4 integer operations/instruction or 8 floating point operations/instruction. Each clock can issue up to 3 instructions if they don't depend on the answer of the previous instructions. The nice thing with AVX over SSE2 is AVX has instructions like a = b *operation* c vs a = a *operation* b for SSE2.
Great articles guys. thanks.
You DO know that there are single-slot water-cooled Radeon HD 6990 monstrosities out there, do you? 8 of these in a single system *head spins*...
This whole thing sounds kind of stupid.
Who is this IDIOT slamming bit coins? Moron, the US government has nothing to do with the Federal Reserve Bank. It is owned by private individuals. Do you homework before your next show-n-tell.

Now i know why i can't find another 5850 to run crossfire with. The ones i do find are way overpriced now.
I'm looking at testing out a very simple mining rig. If I get a Radeon 6XXX series GPU, would it make sense to use it on a Core 2 Duo system? Would the CPU be a bottleneck?
So your telling me you put a Virus on your computer that helps criminals launder money.
you let it operate through your GPU because there is no security there.
and you spend hundreds on hardware and power, for a experiment in social engeneering?
then you think that because 3 places are taking the hype of the bitcoin as a COUPON to sell you shit at 3 times the normal cost, that the bitcoin is therin a currency?
what do you think your GPU is really processing?
or does anyone think?
You just dont get it,
the GPU is processing YOU!
It is internally cyclicly redundant pre-processing your own non-trasnactions, into a multilevel advertising purchacing and marketing scheme.
If they do not enable the user with a journey, then there is no game to be played. There is no Corelation to alternative universal dimentional shifting of exchange goods in virtuality, when there still is nothing but virtuality in existance.
How do you perceive that something exist when one person tells you that it exist, and masses of people join that ONE person to confirm that it exists.
That is a singularity of the black hole variety.
Issue -problem guiminer with dual gpu card HD6870x2 powercolor. After creating new worker for the second Gpu, it still doesnt work 0 Mhashes the first gpu at 304 Mhashes clock at 970 Mhz 60% fan speed temp 74 degrees Celsius
flags -v -w128 -a4. Does anybody know how to setup this correctly , so that both gpu´s work at the same time thank you for helping me out.
This is all far too complicated for me. Can't you have a simple link to click on that will look at one's machine and say "yes" or "no"?
How do I buy the beast? Then after I buy, I would probably find a better more efficient system where?
You guys really need to rerun this test using bitminter. I have the GTX 560 TI and I am getting 138 Mhps with that card. Also would really like to see how the new ATI 7xxx series cards perform.
is your 560ti a 448 core version or no? also are you only running 1 card or do you have a sli, tri-sli, or tri-sli with a fourth dedicated physics card?
kinda wonder what my ole x58 rig might pull off with its i7 980X cpu
3x GTX 560Ti 448 core GPU's
lowly 9600GT that is just in there as a dedicated PhysX processor
course I built it with a 1600 watt psu and the system doesn't pull enough juice to really even warm the power supply up LOL
Try this site, it may help you. Goodluck! http://btc.nubtektrx.us
Has anyone considered solar power for the electricity? Take longer to recoup costs, but any analysis?
Iwant to have one accunt plz .

I was pretty much on the fence the last time I played Red Faction: Armageddon. My tune has all but changed with my latest playthrough, as I got to experience a lot more that the game has to offer. Plus, the new build was quite a bit more polished, especially in the visuals department.
It's not entirely perfect, but all in all, I'm happier with what to expect come next month.view full story + comments
The latest game in the Warhammer 40,000 series is taking players in a new direction with Space Marine, a third-person action-adventure title. You play as Captain Titus of the Ultramarines chapter, a genetically modified superhuman soldier equipped with powerful armor, badass weapons and a chainsaw sword.
Your task is to defend a vital Imperial Forge World home to powerful weapons of war, including the devastating Titan superweapons. Orks have invaded the planet, and you're all that stands in the way of total annihilation. Think Gears of War but with less hiding and more action. A lot more action, in fact. You're a super soldier who isn't afraid of getting right into the thick of it.
As promising as an action-adventure game where you use a freaking chainsaw sword sounds, I'm sad to say that Space Marine didn't really wow me.view full story + comments
You know what we don't have enough of anymore? Metroid-vania style adventure games. This style of adventure games is few and far between nowadays but luckily for us there are some developers out there who haven't totally forgotten this genre.
Not only is Outland reminiscent of games like Metroid, but there's also a puzzle-like element in the style of Ikaruga. Yes, this does sound like a marriage made of awesome.view full story + comments
Take Suda51's creative mind, Shinji Mikami's long history with the survival horror genre, and Akira Yamaoka's brilliant musical skills and you get Shadows of the Damned. From what I've seen at least, Grasshopper Manufacture's upcoming "road movie set in hell" isn't going to do anything that changes the action-adventure genre a whole lot. In fact, the game feels like a faster-paced Resident Evil 4.
The charm with Shadows of the Damned comes from a really outrageous and unique presentation unlike anything I'm used to when it comes to videogames. Yet despite everything Shadows of the Damned has going for it, I still have this horrible feeling that the game is going to fail at retail.view full story + comments
F.E.A.R 3 is the latest in the spooky first-person shooter franchise where you and your dead ghost brother have to save the world from your pregnant ghost mom. Or something. Honestly, it's hard to pay attention to the story when all I can ever focus on is that you get (SPOILER) ghost raped by Alma in the previous game.
So it's a good thing I only had to play the four multiplayer modes during my hands-on session with F.E.A.R 3. One mode is awesome, two of the modes are good and the fourth mode was pretty forgettable.view full story + comments
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 was one of the best games ever created. Not many people will argue with that statement. However, something that even the most hardcore Zelda fans will agree with is that the visuals haven't stood the test of time.
Enter the 3DS update of the classic. I sat down with Nintendo this past week and played the upcoming first real must-own title on the 3DS. At the same time, Nintendo ran through the areas I was in, but on the Wii. The differences in visuals were night and day and that's due to Nintendo completely remastering the 3DS version. All new textures, character models, environments and more were reworked to take advantage of the unique graphic capabilities of the 3DS.
As Nintendo's Director of Product Marketing, Bill Trinen, told me -- who first started working with Nintendo on Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 -- Nintendo used "the power of the 3DS and they tried to go in and make the characters and the models in the game look much closer to the illustrations that they released in the manual and things like that at the time."
Bill continued by stating that the Link model in the 3DS version is "much closer to [Nintendo's] image of what the characters were when they drew them in picture form (see the images in our gallery) rather than what they were able to achieve on the Nintendo 64."view full story + comments
Afraid of heights? Can't climb down a ladder to save your life? Would you rather eat dirt than step one foot into a roller coaster? Well suck it up, buddy. This game isn't for the weak of heart.
In Higher Flyer Death Defyer (HFDD), Game Mechanic Studios sends you plummeting down from enormous heights and through a treacherous comic book art style sky-world filled with floating cities and perilous obstacles in this action packed sky diving game.
When I met with the HFDD team at WonderCon 2011, they seemed excited but nervous to hand over their iPad in order to give me a taste of their game, stressing that it is in an "extremely alpha, alpha, alpha" stage.
I don't follow sports, but I know there's some kind of most improved award that they give players. From what I've seen so far, the gaming equivalent of this award would have to go to inFAMOUS 2. I thoroughly enjoyed the first game, but it needed some polish and attention. Judging from what I saw at a press event last night, Sucker Punch went above and beyond for inFamous 2.
This is how you do sequels, folks.view full story + comments
To me, the original inFAMOUS featured an almost ideal sandbox game world. Running around with such explosive, limitless power made me feel like I could do anything in the game, and that felt pretty great. But now I know that this was only the beginning. Imagine having the tools to create your own missions to play through in this world. Imagine being the hero of your own missions. The new user-generated content ability in inFAMOUS 2 lets you create just about anything you can imagine, and then share it, making this sandbox a whole lot more fun to play in.
At a inFAMOUS 2 media event last night I got to try out a few examples of user-created content. I also made an attempt to put some of my own ideas for a mission together.view full story + comments
Alice: Madness Returns picks up eleven years after the original game and we quickly learn that Alice is still not right in the head. Alice still suffers from survivor's guilt after her family was killed in a deadly fire, so she must go back to Wonderland in order to heal herself and find out the real cause of her family's death.
You see, the official story is that the deadly fire was started by a cat that had knocked over a lamp. As you go on your journey in Wonderland though, you come to discover that Alice's memories aren't matching up with the "official story."
I won't really be touching too much on the story, as Samit Sarkar did that himself recently. Instead, I'll be focusing more on the core gameplay and controls.view full story + comments
The next Spider-Man adventure will see Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 working together through time in order to fix a timestream gone awry. When Spider-Man 2099 is fighting an evil scientist, the madman somehow gets sent back through time where he proceeds to ensure a better and brighter future for himself. As a result, the future of New York is completely changed and no one knows any better except for Spider-Man 2099.
Spider-Man 2099 figures out a way to telepathically communicate with Amazing Spider-Man through time and convinces him that the life he is living isn't right. Not only is the perfect life that Peter Parker living wrong, but he's set to meet his end very soon.view full story + comments
Until last year, Team Bondi's L.A. Noire had been something of an enigma. Since it bears the Rockstar name, many assumed that it would simply be a Grand Theft Auto-style adventure set in 1940s Los Angeles instead of the '80s, '90s, or the present. After watching a half-hour demo of the game at PAX East, I can say that while it shares some elements with Rockstar's previous crime thrillers, I've never seen a game quite like this before.
Will you be driving around an open-world city and shooting people in L.A. Noire? Yes, but that's not the focus. I used the word "adventure" earlier, and in fact, that's what stood out to me in the demo. This game retains some of the familiar trappings of GTA, but at its heart, it can perhaps be best described as an evolution of the classic point-and-click adventure game.
Grasshopper Manufacture's Suda51 is renowned for quirky, out-there games that often have something to say, even if it's through juvenile humor. As the creator of Capcom's seminal Resident Evil franchise, Shinji Mikami knows a thing or two about action-horror games. And as evinced by his work on the Silent Hill series, composer Akira Yamaoka is a master of creating a chilling atmosphere.
Those three creative minds have joined to bring you Shadows of the Damned, a third-person action game that offers familiar demon-killing gameplay, yet is a uniquely Suda51-style experience. In mid-February, I was treated to a twenty-minute demo of an early section of the game, and what I saw was a game with Japanese design and Western trappings.

Want to become an EMT? Classes on island soon
The Block Island Volunteer Rescue Squad, the hard-working group that responds to accidents and medical emergencies of all kinds, all year long, is once more looking to beef up its numbers. It's offering a steeply discounted EMT class to anyone who can commit to the 140-hour course this winter.
"We are looking for 12 to 16 people to take it," said squad Captain Bryan Wilson. At the end of the course, students take the licensing exam for full EMT certification.
Those who take the class are not compelled to join the squad.
Classes will run on two nights a week from November to May, with a couple of weekend days as well. The actual schedule will be devised based on input from the people who sign up.
The cost of the training will be $400. The actual cost is $1,600, but the squad will offset $1,200 of the cost. The remaining $400 is reimbursable to anyone who joins the squad and is active for two years.
If interested, call Bryan Wilson at (401) 474-5782 or Police Dispatch at 466-3220.
