Maven and Erlang
From ErlangCentral Wiki
This is a two-part article
This part deals with installing Maven and maven-erlang plugin for Maven
The second part will deal with using Maven with Erlide
What is Maven?
Maven is a software project management tool. Though it was initially developed to handle Java projects, thanks to its plugin system you can use it for other types of projects as well.
Maven and Erlang
Thanks to maven-erlang you can use Maven to handle Erlang projects.
Erlang Maven combination lets you do the following:
- compile your entire project
- use EUnit to do automatic testing
- package all project directories, OTP-style, into a single .zip file
- deploy: deploy the zip file to a remote location (via FTP, SCP, WebDAV, etc.)
The packaged project has the following directory structure:
./ --- doc --- ebin --- include --- src
Installing Maven
You may also refer to official instructions
- Download and install JDK: here
- Download Maven here.
- Unzip/untar the archive to any directory of your choosing
- Create/Update the following environment variables:
JAVA_HOME: path_to_jdk PATH: path_to_maven/bin
- Type mvn --version in console. If you see version displayed, you've done everything correctly. Otherwise check your JDK installation and paths
- Create a directory named, e.g., erlang-plugin and perform an svn checkout on https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/maven-erlang/erlang-plugin/trunk
- Create a directory named, e.g., erlang-archetype and perform an svn checkout on https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/maven-erlang/erlang-archetype/trunk
- Go into erlang-plugin and type mvn install. During installation Maven will download any additional dependencies required
- Go into erlang-archetype and type mvn install.
- Download and unpack EUnit: here
- We've installed everything we need!
- As a last step I would also recommend creating the following mvncreate.bat file in **maven/bin** so as to save yourself some typing:
mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.erlang.maven -DarchetypeArtifactId=erlang-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=%1 -DartifactId=%2
Create an Erlang project using Maven
- Create a directory somewhere wehre you want to test everything works and go there
- Type the following: mvncreate Test Core (this will create a project named Core in the group named Orcas). You can see the directories created by Maven here
- In directory Core open the pom.xml file and edit it:
<project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>Test</groupId> <artifactId>Core</artifactId> <packaging>erlang-otp</packaging> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>Test Core</name> <url>some url</url> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.erlang.maven</groupId> <artifactId>erlang-plugin</artifactId> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration>
<!-- Required parameter : absolute path to the erlang binary !--> <!-- *********************** --> <!-- CHANGE THE FOLLOWING PATHS --> <!-- *********************** -->
<erlPath>path_to_your_Erlang_installation/bin/erl.exe</erlPath> <eunitPath>path_to_EUnit/eunit-1.1/</eunitPath> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
- You'll also have to configure the <distributionManagement> section of your pom.xml file if you want to use the deploy goal. More information is available on the maven-deploy-plugin homepage. You can also use another deployment plugin such as Wagon (e.g. for DAV support)
Using Maven
- Go into Core directory (if your project's name is Core)
- mvn compile will compile your project files from src/main/erlang and place the resulting beam files into target/ebin
- mvn test will compile all test files from src/test/erlang, place the beam files into target/test and run the test/0 function for every module which name ends with _test
- mvn package will create a .zip file in target/ (after compiling the project and running the test)
- mvn deploy will deploy the .zip file according to the <distributionManagement> section of your POM file
Note: test and subsequent goals require EUnit

vailr - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkDidn't AMD originally supply an info-graphic (about a year ago, just prior to the release of their 7000 series cards) that the 7790 card was to have been their lowest-priced 7000 series card that still provided a 256-bit memory interface? Any explanation for the downgrade now, to a 128-bit interface? Reply
campcreekdude - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkI thought the 7890 is supposed to be 256-bit. Reply
Oxford Guy - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - linkThe big problem is that it doesn't have enough VRAM. 1 GB is too little for 2013 cards. Pretty ridiculous for one priced at $150. Reply

LOL - goodbye amd
So the beta driver, uhh perma beta driver must have crashed out in civ5 a lot. Reply
email@example.com - Sunday, March 24, 2013 - linkim sorry but if you must insist on invalid staments you shouldnt be on this website because smarter people will correct you on YOUR fanboyness. First of all amd beats nvidia at every price point(check linus tech tips on his youtube video card chanell) and they have perfect drivers. working for 6 months on the same amd driver and no crashes. infact i tried a new crysis 3 driver and it didnt crash then either and that was a beta driver. and my radeon 7770 destroyed the nvidia gtx 650, which is at the same price point.

Sabresiberian - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkA roadmap is nothing but a projection of what is PLANNED for the future, not some kind of "promise" or "guarantee". Calling AMD people liars because the released product didn't match the projection is childish at best.
And before you slap the "fanboy" label on me, I prefer Nvidia generally speaking (but I'm not going to cut off my proverbial nose to spite my face in order to be brand loyal; if AMD has the current best solution for my purposes, I'm going to buy AMD). Reply
CeriseCogburn - Saturday, March 23, 2013 - link128 bit bus is great, the HD5770 proved that.
BWHAHAHHAAA Reply
dishayu - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkGood eye. But then they metion HD7790 as Pitcairn LE in that infographic. What they have launched as HD7790 now is Bonaire. Reply
ShieTar - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkMaybe they surprised themselves by getting GDDR5 to run at 6GHz, and realized that they can stick with 128bit at that speed? Reply
Lonyo - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkThey were going to use a cutdown Pitcairn, being 7870/7850 GPU, and cut down the GPU core to use excess cores that couldn't make the cut as 7870/7850s.
They might have gone with 256-bit to simplify the product for AIB partners who could just re-use their HD7850 designs, rather than needing a new design for a smaller run product.
The 7790 now is a new GPU designed to be cheaper to produce (as it's smaller) than Pitcairn, and the fact the memory can run at 6GHz is probably due in part to the fact it's a new GPU rather than a cut down Pitcairn. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkI don't see a launch date in the whole article, it's NOT available. I guess that's another mystery freebie for AMD's products here.
Didn't see port config either, so what cabling do we have to buy to run 3 monitors when Asus 650ti runs 4 out of the box, 3 with dvi and vga only ?
Not impressed with the huge AMD biased game line up either, so expect your mileage to be less than shown.
No overclock talk really either - so it must blow at that.
Other sites are reporting amd's beta driver, so maybe they won't even have a release driver for this card when they release it, as AMD is often known to do, for like a year sometimes or forever in terms of any sort of quality-LOL.
Civ5 has only 1 bench rez, it must have crashed in others.
Crossfire ? Article didn't say.
Multi-monitor - no talk of that anymore since nVidia SPANKS amd to death on that now.
Hopefully you've fooled the internet tards again, because amd is bankrupt, for good reason. Reply
Spoelie - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkLet's feed the troll.
Did you even read the article?
-Launch date is mentioned on page 1, in one and a half week
-Ports are clearly visible and standard, 2 DVI + HDMI + DisplayPort
-Lineup is consistent with every other review on Anandtech.
-There's an entire page on the new PowerTune and how it impacts overclocking, single sample OC investigation is irrelevant and best left for a dedicated vendor comparison.
-... really?
Who's the real tard here? Reply
Spunjji - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkOh for a down-vote button. We expect no less than mindless bollocks from Cerise, but failing to read the article entirely is a new low. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Saturday, March 23, 2013 - linkNo, that's what you do all the time. But thanks for the compliment, since you know I always read the articles completely, yet you think I didn't this time, WRONG.
I've made a lot of money this past short week without a lot of rest, so I'll give you and dipsy doodle a point on the svengali launch date the article writer for the first time EVER declares "solid" before it even occurs, og wait, he always does that when it's AMD, but if it's nVidia he says we'll have to wait and see as they are probably lying...
Who cares, the card sucks, amd is dying, the drivers blow beta chunks, and amd is way late to the party. Reply
ppeterka - Thursday, July 18, 2013 - linkJust a question: And how much will your favored brand of GPUs cost, if AMD really dies? 10 times? 100 times? An arm, a leg, and both kidneys? Grow up, and understand how an ecosystem works for us all.
BTW. I don't have GPU preferences, just grab what gives bets bang for bucks. If it has EasternElbonianVideoPigs GPU on it - be it... Reply
silverblue - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkYou must've missed the part about them simply not having as much time to test the 7790 as they'd have liked because they were at GTC. Other sites apologised for their lack of time as well.
There's a whole load of other reviews out there; only a few have overclocking results (Guru3D notably), and as far as I can see only AT, of the major sites, has both the 7790 and a factory overclocked 7790 in the same test. Guru3D is alone in providing a CrossFire test and though two 7790s perform about the same as a sole 670, there's no power readings. There's a good number of different titles being benchmarked so it's not strictly a list of AMD-says-test-these-titles, plus Tomb Raider, a Gaming Evolved title, performs better on NVIDIA hardware. There's a few bugs with the beta drivers used for the 7790 in these reviews most notably with latencies (a bug that has already been fixed with the next Catalyst release so yes, we will see new drivers soon), however the latency values are so far ahead on average of what we used to see from AMD that this can hardly be classed as an issue. Testing has generally centred on 1920x1080 because that's really the limit where cards like this are supposed to be performing - there's little point in 1024x768 and an equal measure of futility trying for 5760x1080 or whatever; the former is ridiculously low res and the latter is ridiculously ambitious even for a 7970 or 670/680.
Sapphire's blurb about multi-monitor usage via the TweakTown website:
"Working or gaming with multiple monitors is becoming increasingly popular, and the SAPPHIRE HD 7700 series supports this with AMD Eyefinity, now in its second generation. The SAPPHIRE HD 7790 OC Edition has two DVI ports (DVI-I and DVI-D), HDMI and a single DisplayPort output, supporting up to four monitors.
The SAPPHIRE HD 7790 OC Edition model supports the FleX feature, pioneered by SAPPHIRE, that allows three digital displays to be connected to the DVI and HDMI outputs and used in AMD Eyefinity mode without the need for an external active adapter. All four outputs can be used in AMD Eyefinity mode, but the fourth display must be a DisplayPort monitor or connected with an active adapter."
I've heard AMD's launch date for this is today; Guru3D has the following to say:
"But I need to add this little note alright; AMD's Never Settle Reloaded promotion continues. At participating retailers beginning 02 April, 2013, gamers will be able to receive a free copy of BioShock Infinite with a purchase of their new AMD Radeon HD 7790 graphics card. See, now that's great value. The Radeon HD 7790 series cards will be available in stores starting April 2, 2013"

CeriseCogburn - Sunday, March 24, 2013 - linkI've run 2 flex edition cards, you idiot.
Have you ?
Run any MDT nVidia galaxy cards dummy ?
How about all dvi outs so you daon't have to have $100's of dollars of soon to die amd dangly cables ?
Heck a friend just got ANOTHER 6870 he usually runs 4 monitors, but that could only run 2 OOB and he has loads of cables, so he had to buy another cable just to run a 3rd monitor - it took 2 weeks to arrive...
AMD SUCKS with eyefinity / multiple monitors and nVidia DOES NOT - nVidia keeps the end user in mind and makes it INEXPENSIVE to set up 3 or 4 monitors !
Amd makes it cost prohibitive.
AMD SUCKS, they lost again, totally. Reply
geniusloci - Saturday, March 23, 2013 - linkYou are a pathetically simple little mind, aren't you? Reply
geniusloci - Saturday, March 23, 2013 - linkWhat planet do you come from?
This card will run 4 monitors, eyefinity has done this very well, forever. With discrete audio per monitor. Nvidia is really getting handed it's ass by AMD in this category.
This card will spank it's nvidia competition in civ5, since civ uses opencl, and nvidia sucks at opencl (and their current cards even suck at cuda).
Crossfire: there's a crossfire port at the top, genius. It will obviously crossfire.
Too bad Nvidia's 2D quality and video quality is such utter shit. I might have actually used that gtx660 I bought instead of sending it back for a 7870. Reply

4 monitors MY BUTT.
Another clueless amd fanboy. Reply
email@example.com - Sunday, March 24, 2013 - linkYou obviously dont have a clear understanding of gpu tech so just stop blabbing your stupidity, even most nvidia biased people can admit Check linus tech tips , check your games they all work much better on amd with multimonitor.
and no overclock talk maybe because AMD doesnt approve of people tampering with gpus............ and because they want it to seem so good that you dont need an overclock...... and the specific hardware partners can make different port configs so why would you say that?
and maybe comparing ASUS 650tis to this GPU is invalid becuase you didnt specify who made it so the port config advantage is completely irrelevant.
Amd is not bankrupt because of their GPU business. and their CPU business isnt bad i dont think that getting into the gpu and cpu of the top 3 consoles (PS4 Xbox WiiU) is so bad either. and why would game biases not be true if amds drivers and games play better on the amd based systems
eg: Crysis 3. and saying that the civ 5 benches crashed is completely stupid because a good website like anandtech doesnt normally disregard such things. and AMD didnt pay them off if they are bankrupt right? yes it can crossfire because theres crossfire connectors on the top so maybe they assumed things would be implied for the general crowd. Reply
althaz - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkI think it's also worth mentioning that the 7850 is a quite excellent overclocker. At stock I think it's definitely not worth the extra $30, but once overclocking is taken into account, if you can afford the $30 you are crazy not to spend it (assuming you are comfortable with overclocking of course). Reply
Bob Todd - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkYeah, I'm curious what the pricing will look like on these a few weeks after introduction. I picked up a 7850 (2GB MSI Twin Frozr) for $170 AR a few weeks ago to put in a HTPC, and I've seen it at that price again already. It will be interesting to see if the regular sales on 7850s decrease once the 7790 is out. Kudos to AMD for offering BioShock Infinite with this. Reply
Aikouka - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkGiven we're talking about gaming cards here, I think it's worthwhile to add that only the 7800s and 7900s come with AMD's Never Settle game promotion. So, if you're interested Tomb Raider and/or Bioshock Infinite, the 7850 may have significantly more value to you. If you're not interested in them, people have been selling the coupons on eBay for about $50-60 each. Reply
Bob Todd - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkThere's a small paragraph in the article explaining that this card _is_ part of the Never Settle Reloaded program. It's only getting BioShock Infinite since it sits at a lower price point, but still a nice addition. The bundles are a big part of the reason I'm curious to see how the pricing shakes out. I sold a TR/BS bundle and kept about ~$50 in my pocket after fees, so I basically got a very nice 2GB 7850 for $120. You could obviously sell the BioShock code you'd get with a 7790, but if the prices for that card stay at MSRP for too long they'll have some stiff competition from 7850s on sale. Unless of course the 7850 sales dry up since it doesn't have to cover such a large swath of AMD's lineup now price wise. Reply

Quizzical - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkYour chart shows Radeon HD 6870 FP64 performance as N/A. I think it's 1/20 of FP32 performance, but I'm not sure of that. It definitely can do FP64, as otherwise, it wouldn't be able to claim OpenGL 4 compliance. Reply
MrSpadge - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkNo, it doesn't have any HARDWARE FP64 capabilities. It's always possible to emulate this at slow performance via software, though. Reply
Quizzical - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkIt's basically the same as what the 7770, 7790, and 7850 do, but they're not listed as N/A. The relevant question isn't whether you can do it more slowly, but how much more slowly. Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - linkNo, it's not the same, the GCN cards have hardware FP64 capabilities. Reply
Ryan Smith - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkLet's be clear here. 85W is not the TDP. The TDP is higher (likely on the order of 110W or so). However AMD chooses not to publish the TDP for these lower end cards, and instead the TBP. Reply
alwayssts - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkYeah, I figure ~85 TBP/105w TDP because that would be smack between 7770/7850 as well as having 20% headroom (which also allows another product to have their TBP between there and 7850's max TDP with it's max tdp above it within 150w....ie ~120-125/150w). IIRC, 80w is the powertune max (TDP) of 7770, 130w for 7850. 85w is the stock operation (TBP) of 7790.
I really, really dislike how convoluted this power game has become...can you tell?!
First it was max power. Then it was nvidia stating typical power (so products were within pci-e spec) with AMD still quoting max, which made them look bad. Then we get this 'awesome' product segmentation with 7000 having TBP and max powertune TDPs to separate them, while nvidia quotes TBP and hides the fact the TDP limits for their products exist unless you deduce them from the percentage you can up the boost power.
AAAAaaaarrrrrghhhhh. I miss when the product you had could do what you wanted it to, ie before software voltage control and multiple states, as for products like this it gives the user less control and the companies a ton to create segmentation. Low-end stock products may have been less-than-stellar back in the day, but with determination you could get something out of it without some marketing stating it should fit x niche so give it y max tdp so it doesn't interfere with the market of z product. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkMaybe so you couldn't blow the crap out of it then return it for another one, then another one, as "you saved money" and caused everyone else to pay 25% more since you overclock freaks would blow them up, then LIE and get the freebie replacement, over and over again.
Maybe they got sick of dealing with scam artist liars... maybe they aren't evil but the end user IS. Reply
Spunjji - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkWhy would the design power be higher than the total board power? :/ You're correct that the figure they're quoting isn't TDP but then you just went and made up a number.
Here's some actual power consumption measurements of a 7770:
So using Ananad's figures to extrapolate you can expect this thing to be ~90W max, usually lower than that at peak, right about where AMD put it. Reply
Spunjji - Friday, March 22, 2013 - link...forgive my stupidity. Actual figures of the 7790 here:
Depends on whether we focus on Peak / Max figures to decide whether you or I am closer to the truth. :) Reply
Ryan Smith - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkTypical Board Power, not Total. TBP is an average rather than a peak like TDP, which is why it's a lower number than TDP. Reply

Shut up and drink - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkHas it occurred to anyone else that this is in all probability an OEM release of the "semi-custom" silicon that will find its way into Sony's Playstation 4 in the fall?
Word has it that Sony has some form of GPU switching tech integrated into the PS4.
- apologies for the link to something other than Anand but I don't think they ran anything on the story http://www.tomshardware.com/news/sony-ps4-patent-p...
Initially I presumed this to be some "Optimus"-esque dynamic context switching power saving routine. However, the patent explicitly states, "This architecture lets a user run one or more GPUs in parallel, but only for the purpose of increasing performance, not to reduce power consumption."
Which struck me as some kind of expansion on the nebulous "hybrid crossfire" tech that AMD has been playing w/since they birthed the 3000 series 780G igpu
Based off of AMD's previous endeavors in this area on the PC side I would be skeptical of the benefits/merit of pairing the comparatively anemic iGPU's of Kabini w/a presumably Bonaire derived GPU.
As an aside; since SLI/CFX work by issuing frames to the next GPU available, if one GPU is substantially faster than the other(s), frames get finished out-of-order and the IGP/slower-GPU's tardy frames simply get dropped which may make the final rendered video stuttery/choppy.
Pairing an IGP with a disproportionately powerful discrete GPU simply does not work for realtime rendering.
It is certainly possible that with the static nature of the console and perhaps especially the unified nature of the GDDR5 memory pool/bank that performance gains could be had
However, my digression on the merits of the tech thus far is
128 + 128 = 256 + 896 = Anand's own deduction of 1152sp's) Reply
Shut up and drink - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkI pushed submit by mistake...damn...
oh well...my last point of arithmetic was simply that 1 fully enabled 4 core Kabini's I'm suspecting would have a 128 shader count igpu. Factor in the much ballyhooed 8-core Cpu in the PS4 we would have two Kabini's (128+128=256) + a Bonaire derived 896sp GPU all on some kind of custom MCM style packaging "semi-custom APU" (rumor had it that the majority of Sony's R&D contributions were in the stacking/packaging dept.)
Anyone concur? Reply
Shut up and drink - Friday, March 22, 2013 - link...which jives w/Anand's own piece that ran on the console's unveiling, "Sony claims the GPU features 18 compute units, which if this is GCN based we'd be looking at 1152 SPs and 72 texture units"

A5 - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkYeah, once this came in at 14 CUs with minor architecture changes, it seemed like a likely scenario to me.
Obviously it isn't going to give you PS4 performance on ports with only 1GB of memory, though. Reply
crimson117 - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkGood thought, but I sure hope Sony doesn't hamstring its PS4 with a 128-bit memory bus! Reply
silverblue - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkNot at 176GB/s, unless they're clocking that GDDR5 VERY high. The 7790 is good for 96GB/s. Reply
Shut up and drink - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkSony's previous two consoles (PS2 and PS3)have traditionally favored high frequency/bandwidth proprietary Interconnects between components (see Cell's EIB) so this is likely where the "secret sauce" Sony R&D came in, thus facilitating the 176GB/S.
AMD was quoted (can't find link) that said Sony engineering would be excluded if/when they release a PC variant of said APU. Reply
Spunjji - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkVery, very interesting indeed. It tallies well with the numbers. There was me thinking they had bolted Pitcairn onto the side of their CPUs but this combo might make more sense (and yet also less sense). Reply
lopri - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkTotally agree with memory size. At this performance and price level, 2 GB should be default. Reply
lopri - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkThen again, it would be strange if AMD doesn't release "larger" cards based on this updated GCN core. Reply
silverblue - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkPerhaps the reason for the lack of a 2GB version would be that it would be too close to the 7850...? Reply

ROFL - That's what they do - they even do it when comparing to a 2GB nVidia, suddenly forgetting amd makes crapster 1GB they swore off years ago, even though that's the screamer amd fanboy price "they pay" because "it's such a deal! Man! "

Oxford Guy - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - linkIt's absolutely ridiculous to release a 1 GB card today when even games like Skyrim need 2 GB at 1080p. Reply
Arnulf - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkRegarding noise measurement: weighing scale used for absolute measurements may be the "A" scale, but a card is not certain number of dB(A) louder than another card, it is certain number of dB louder (3 dB more would be twice as loud as far as sound pressure level is concerned, measured under same conditions and with same weighing), since your weighing scale used to take absolute measurements is the same.
This refers to all your statements along the lines of "... but over 3 dB(A) louder ..." etc. Reply
warezme - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkMiddle of the road filler products are so boring. They are usually a mishmash of memory from here, GPU features from there, all so confusing and boring. Just release a full line of new core and memory features, age down your older products according to how they perform compared to the new and be done with it. Reply

Shadowmaster625 - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkIs there any actual evidence to support the conclusion that 1GB is not enough for 1080p? Given the choice between more compute units or more RAM, I would take more compute units. Reply
Spunjji - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkRight now I believe there would not be. What people are anticipating is an inflation in the size of game assets spurred on by the next generation of consoles. Some people want to keep these things for a few years so it's a legitimate concern for a change! Reply
CeriseCogburn - Sunday, March 24, 2013 - linkLOLOLOLOL
Wow how fanboys change from just prior releases with 2GB or 3GB amd crapcards - then it was an ABSOLUTE WIN according to you - necessary and "future proof!" especially for "skyrim mods !"

MrSpadge - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkIt's good to see clock & voltage states become more fine-grained and their choice smarter. Ultimately how I'd like a GPU to work: set targets and limits for power use, temperature and noise.. and then crank it up as far as it goes. Vary chips by different amounts of execution units, not frequencies.
This includes simple user settings for lowering power consumption (call it the "green mode" of whatever), if people want to, which would automatically choose lower voltages to increase efficiency.
And of course something similar to nVidias frame rate target: if performance if fine now, save power. And save some thermal headroom in case it's needed soon. Make smart use of the power budget. It's nice to see AMD making some progress! Reply
Termie - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkRyan, just FYI, you're using Catalyst 13.2 beta 7 with the other cards, not Catalyst 13.7 betas as indicated in the text on "The Test" page. Reply

SithSolo1 - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkThere will be no GE of this card.
Quote - "The Radeon HD 7790 runs at 1GHz, but is not going to be called a "GHz Edition" anymore. AMD feels that they have made the point about having 1GHz edition GPUs in the market in 2012, and did not feel a need to label this new one a GHz Edition. Therefore, it will just be known as Radeon HD 7790." - Brent @ HardOCP, Asus DCUII 7790 review Reply

Hardcore69 - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkDon't see a point. As a PC gamer I want it all, not some laughably compromised card - just over 30FPS (if that) at 1080p with the settings turned up? What's the point, just buy a console. I'll stick with my 680. Reply
cyan1d3 - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkWhile I agree with your sentiment, this card was not designed with us in mind, there is a large portion of people on budgets, who can't go ahead and blow ~$450 on a graphics card. There is also a large portion of people who see no need to play games at Ultra with high AA, etc.
This card is a great line-up filler. I can see a use for this in a variety of budget gaming systems. Reply
R3MF - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkagreed.
i spent £400 on an MSI 7970 Lightning, but not everyone is that stupid! :D Reply
evonitzer - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkWell with a name like Hardcore69, of course you would want the best of the best of the best (with honors). But I'm a casual PC gamer, so this card looks pretty great to me. My 4870 is getting a little (ok, very) long in the tooth. Why would I buy a console and pay full price for games, only use a controller, and have to pay a monthly fee (x360) just to play casually when I could pick up a $150 card and drop it into my computer? Reply
CeriseCogburn - Sunday, March 24, 2013 - linkHis point wasn't your pathetic budget, his point was the graphics suck like a console.
Just keep the 4870, it sucks too. Reply
I am as mad as hell - Friday, March 22, 2013 - linkThe day will come, in the not so distant future, that 700W PS requirements or higher for high-end gaming machines will come to an end (thankfully). And the whole system will not consume more than 100W and fits inside a mATX case or smaller (and no need for Godzilla size cooling fans anymore either). Reply

Death666Angel - Friday, March 22, 2013 - link"pulling 7W more than the 7770, a hair more than the 5W difference in AMD's TBP"
That 5W is not at the wall though. Factoring in rounding PSU efficiencies, it's very possible that the cards are only drawing 5W more. :)
"The Sapphire card, despite being overclocked, draws 6W less than our reference 7790."
Seeing how the Sapphire runs cooler in Furmark, that might explain a Watt or two in reduced power draw, coupled with the efficiency of the PSU, it might explain three or four even. :) Reply
pandemonium - Saturday, March 23, 2013 - link"NVIDIA has for a long time set the bar on efficiency, but with the 7790 it looks like AMD will finally edge out NVIDIA."
What is your definition of a long time? As far as efficiency standards, I consider AMD to be better for the end result when looking at the full definition and application of the word. See the spreadsheet I created here about 16 months ago to understand what I mean: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=21507... Reply
silverblue - Saturday, March 23, 2013 - linkYou just called Ryan a "dummy", did you, without even checking the statement further down which reads:
"For anyone looking to pick up a 7790 today, this is being launched ahead of actual product availability (likely to coincide with GDC 2013 next week). Cards will start showing up in the market on April 2nd, which is about a week and a half from now."
If YOU had read the article, blah blah dumb idiot blah blah. As you've not replied to anybody in particular, your mistargeted rants could be construed as being directed toward the staff themselves, so keep it up and you won't HAVE to worry about what AT is reviewing in future.
Bottom line - it's faster than the 650 Ti, it's looking to be more efficient than the 650 Ti, and oh look, both have 1GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit memory interface, which you seem to have forgotten when you leapt down AMD's throat about the 7790, and when you went on your childish tirade about the 5770's 128-bit memory interface earlier.
As far as I recall, Ryan didn't mention anything about when Titan was available to buy, only that it had launched. Pretty much blows your theory of Ryan hating NVIDIA out of the water, doesn't it?
I'm not sure if I've said this before, and apologies to everybody else if I have, but I'm done with you, full stop. I can only hope everybody else here decides that not feeding the ignorance you perpetuate on every single AMD article would save them time they could be devoting to something far less boring instead.
To the staff - is there anything you can do to introduce an Ignore List? Thanks in advance for your response. Reply

CeriseCogburn - Sunday, March 24, 2013 - linkYou got eveything wrong again, and you failed to read the article not I, and you failed to read my reply addressing half your idiotic non points, so you're the non reader, fool.
Now I have to correct you multiple times. And you're a waste.
650TI overclocks and it's only faster in a few amd favor games which are here, of course.
Strike one for tardboy.
650Ti runs fine OC'd too, which it does well: " We pushed Gigabyte's GeForce GTX 650 as far as it'd go and achieved a maximum core overclock of 1125 MHz, with the GDDR5 memory operating at 1600. All it took was a 1.15 V GPU voltage. "
The 128 bit bus - REPAYMENT for you FOOLS SQUEALING prior, what's so hard to understand ?
Did you forget all your WHINING ?
Did you forget your backing up the FAILED theorists with the nVidia dual speed memory ?
You're up to strike 4 already.
" Ryan didn't mention anything about when Titan was available to buy, only that it had launched. Pretty much blows your theory of Ryan hating NVIDIA out of the water, doesn't it?"
NO, so why would it be mentioned if he didn't want anyone to buy it ? Why mention it, that would key in to save for release date, right ?
Instead we get this gem first off in BOLD to start the article: " Who's Titan For, Anyhow? "
Guess that just crushed your idiot backwards bullhockey forever.
For all you know Ryan mentioned release date anyway.
You're not "done with me", you get everything WRONG, so you'll be opening your big fat piehole forever, that's how people like you do it. Idiot amd fanboys, all the same.
Also a beggar child for extra "control", since you "can't be an adult and control yourself" - please give me an ignore button ! I'm a crybaby who can't handle it !

colonelclaw - Sunday, March 24, 2013 - linkTo Ryan and staff
As a long-time admirer of AnandTech, I always enjoy reading pretty much every article you post, and have immense respect for all your writers.
However, I am now utterly fed up with the direction the comment discussions have taken. The general pattern is they start out as debates and end up as pretty nasty personal attacks that have nothing to do with the articles. You may say 'don't read the comments', to which I reply that they used to be an extension of the articles themselves, and were always a source of valuable information.
It pains me to say this, but if you don't start removing the trolls I will no longer come to this site at all, and I would guess I am not alone in having this opinion. Reply

medi01 - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkSuddenly Fermi is forgotten and it's only now that AMD will edge out nVidia on power efficiency. Reply
silverblue - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkThe 7790 reminds me of the 4770. Sure, that was on a new process node, but it's a late addition to the line designed to take advantage of tweaks, process improvements, etc.
There may be a lot of transistors in a GCN design but I couldn't help feel that there were power savings to be had. For this reason, I'd hope that their next flagship doesn't exceed the 7970GE's power draw whilst providing a decent performance boost. Reply

Oxford Guy - Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - link1 GB VRAM is ridiculous, especially for a $150 product. Reply
ericore - Thursday, March 28, 2013 - linkFor those who want the most power in the smallest package and power drain, look no further then the Radeon 7790. The only disappointment was the heat factor, but more or less the same performance as 7850 at half the power; that's great. Also, I don't mind that AMD went the 6 ghz vram route, because now there is even more reason to get 2 GB which is especially needed if you apply a dozens or hundreds of mods to your games. Also its the 128 bit interface that kept the power low, so despite everyone's cussing AMD made the right choices. I have a GTX 460 which easily uses at least 200 watts. This 7790 is almost twice as fast and uses 2.5 times less power. The pricing is acceptable, if you were to include 2GB by default, then why bother with the 7850; they still want ppl to buy that one.

slickr - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkHey Anand, can you guys please do a video quality test? I mean I haven't seen any such test on any website for over 3 years.

The goal of the RCN program is to advance a field or create new directions in research or education by supporting groups of investigators to communicate and coordinate their research, training and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, geographic and international boundaries. RCN provides opportunities to foster new collaborations, including international partnerships, and address interdisciplinary topics. Innovative ideas for implementing novel networking strategies, collaborative technologies, and development of community standards for data and meta-data are especially encouraged. RCN awards are not meant to support existing networks; nor are they meant to support the activities of established collaborations. RCN awards do not support primary research. RCN supports the means by which investigators can share information and ideas, coordinate ongoing or planned research activities, foster synthesis and new collaborations, develop community standards, and in other ways advance science and education through communication and sharing of ideas.
Proposed networking activities directed to the RCN program should focus on a theme to give coherence to the collaboration, such as a broad research question or particular technologies or approaches.
Participating core programs in the Directorates for Biological Sciences (BIO), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Geosciences (GEO), Engineering (ENG) and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) will accept General (non-targeted) RCN proposals. Some submission deadlines for the general RCN proposals vary by program; consult program websites. BIO is joined by the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) in the Undergraduate Biology Education (RCN-UBE) track described below.
The following targeted track within the RCN programs is intended to foster linkages between BIO and EHR.
- RCN-UBE: The Undergraduate Biology Education track focuses on any topic likely to lead to improved participation, learning, or assessment in undergraduate biology education and follows the same guidelines outlined below for the general RCN program.
