Zstream - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkIt kills the AMD low power motto :( Reply
duploxxx - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linklol, all that you can say about this article is something about AMD. Looks like you need an update on server knowledge, Since the Arrival of Nehalem Intel has the best offer when you need the highest performance parts and when using Low power parts which give still the best performance. Since MC arrived things got a bit different mostly due to aggressive price for all mid value but still a favor to intel parts for highend and L power bins. Certainly in the area of virtualization AMD does very well
What is shown here should be known to many people that design virtual environments, Virtualization and low power parts don't match if you run applications that need cpu power and response all the time, L series can only be very useful for a huge bunch of "sleeping" vm's.
Interesting would be to compare with AMD, but 9/10 both low power and high power intel parts will be more interesting when you will only run 1 tile, the huge core amount lower ipc advantage will loose against the higher ipc/core of intel in this battle. Reply
Zstream - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkExcuse me? I am quite aware of low power consuming chips. The point AMD has made in the past four to five years is that low power and high performance can match Intel's performance and still save you money. I have been to a number of AMD web conferences and siminars were they state the above. Reply

Not sure if you're being sarcastic here, as it's obvious AMD would tell you this.
But regarding the actual question: you'd be about right if you compared K8 or Phenom I based Opterons with Core 2 based ones. And you'd be very right if you compared them to Phenom II. However, the performance of these Intels is being held back by the FSB and FB-DIMMs and power efficiency is almost crippled by the FB-DIMMs. But Nehalem changed all of that.

duploxxx - Friday, July 16, 2010 - link4-5 years.... Nehalem was launched q12009 since then all changed. Before that Xeon parts suffered from FBDimm powerconsumption and FSB bottleneck and that is why AMD was still king on power/performance and was able to keep up with max performance. Nehalem was king, Istanbul was able to close the gap a bit but missed raw ghz and had higher power needs due to ddr2, again MC parts leveraged back this intel advantage and now there is a choice again, but L power still is king to Neh/Gulf.

Penti - Saturday, July 17, 2010 - linkIt invalidates low power versions of AMDs also. That's he's point I would believe. Reply
stimudent - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkNot really.
If there can't be two sides to the story or a more diverse perspective, then it should not have been published. Next time, wait a little longer for parts to arrive - try harder next time. Reply
MrSpadge - Friday, July 16, 2010 - linkA comparison to AMD would have been nice, but this article is not Intel vs. AMD!
It already has 2 side: high power vs. low power Intels. And Johan found something very important and worthy of reporting. No need to blur the point by including other chips.
MrS Reply
Zstream - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkI know we have the VMware results but could someone do an analysis on AMD / INTEL chips?
For instance I can get a 12 core AMD chip or a 6 core/12 HT chip from Intel. Has anyone done any test with Terminal Servers or Real world usage of a VM (XP Desktop) with core count?
I would think that a physical 12C vs 6C impacts real world performance by a considerable large amount. Reply
tech6 - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkGreat work Anandtech - it's about time someone took the low power TCO claims to task. Reply
cserwin - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkSome props for Johan, too, maybe... nice article. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkThanks! We have more data on "low power choices", but we decided to cut them up in several article to keep it readable. Reply
DavC - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linknot sure whats going on with your electricity cost calcs on your first page. firstly your converting current unnessacarily from watts to amps (meaning your unnessacarily splitting into US and europe figures).
basically here in the UK, 1kW which is what your your 4 PCs in your example consume, costs roughly 10p per hour. working on an average of 720 hours in a month, that would give a grand total of £72 a month to run those 4 PCs 24/7.
£72 to you US guys is around $110. And I cant imagine you're electricity is priced any dearer than ours.
giving a 4 year life cycle cost of $5280.
have I missed something obvious here or are you just out with the maths? Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkYou are calculating from the POV of a datacenter. I take the POV of a datacenter client, which has to pay per amp that he/she "reserves". AFAIK, datacenters almost always count with amps, not Watts.
(also 10p per KWh seems low) Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkWith P=V*I at constant voltage power and amps are really just a different name for the same thing, i.e. equivalent. Personally I prefer W, because this is what matters in the end: it's what I pay for and what heats my room. Amps by themselves don't mean much (as long as you're not melting the wires), as voltages can easily be converted.
Maybe the datacenter guys just like to juggle around smaller numbers? Maybe the should switch over to hecto watts instead? ;)
MrS Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkI am surprised the electrical engineers have not jumped in yet :-). As you indicate yourself, the circuits/wires are made for a certain amount of amps, not watts. That is probably the reason datacenters specify the amount of power you get in watt. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkI meant amps in that last sentence of course. Reply
knedle - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkWatts are universal, doesn't matter if you're in UK, or US - 220W is still 220W, but with ampers it's different. Since in the Europe voltage is higher than in the USA (EU=220V, US=110V), and P=U*I, you've got twice as much power for 1A, which means that in USA your server will use 2A, while the same server in UK will use only 1A... Reply
has407 - Friday, July 16, 2010 - linkNo, not all Watts are the same.
Watts in a decent datacenter come with power distribution, cooling, UPS, etc. Those typically add 3-4x to the power your server actually consumes. Add to that the amortized cost of the infrastructure and you're looking at 6-10x the cost of the power your server consumes directly.
Such is the fallacy of simplistic power/cost comparisons (and Johan, you should know better). Can we now dispense with the idiotic cost/KWH calculations? Reply
Penti - Saturday, July 17, 2010 - linkA high-performance server probably can't be used on 1A 230V which is the cheapest options in some datacenters. However something like half a rack or 1/4 would probably have 10A/230V, more then enough for a small servercollection of 4 moderate servers. The big cost is cooling, normal racks might handle 4kW (up to 6kW over that then it's high density) of heat/power just. Then you need more expensive stuff. A cheap rack won't handle 40 250W servers in other regards. 6 kW power/cooling and 2x16A/230V shouldn't be that expensive. Any way you also pay for cooling (and UPS). Even cheap solutions normally charge per used kW here though. 4 2U is about 1/4 rack anyway. And like 15 amps is needed if in the states. Reply
WillR - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - link10p per kWh may be low in the UK but it's not for residential in the US. $.12/kWh is average. Just pulled out a bill from earlier this year and we paid 7.3 cents per kWh at my house. What it comes down to is the data center potentially overcharges people in the, using your numbers, 19 to 38 cents per kWh range, but rates can be higher than $.20/kWh in high density areas like NYC or SF. The extra costs should go to paying for upgrades and expansion of their infrastructure so it's not unreasonable.
Worth mentioning to put in perspective is 4 250 watt servers uses 720kWh/month and the average house in the US uses 920kWh/month, so it's not really as simple a setup as one might initially think.
http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/esr/table... provides a nice table of average rates and usages. Reply
knedle - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkI'm not sure if you're aware, but in most countries residential has much (at least twice) lower price per 1kWh, than commercial. Also commercial pays extra for using electricity during the day, and gets electricity cheaper during night.
This is why there are some factories in Europe that work only during night. Reply
WillR - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkThat is not the case in the US. Residential pays higher rates than either Commercial or Industrial users.
Average Retail Price (Cents/kWh)
Items Mar-10 Mar-09
Residential 11.2 11.33
Commercial 10.03 10.07
Industrial 6.5 6.79
Industrial settings tend to use very large amounts of energy in a very small area or number of clients so they get cheaper bulk rates for purchasing a lot with little administrative overhead. It's also often the case they can get a high voltage line installed directly to the plant which is expensive to install but increases efficiency dramatically.
These averages may reflect heavy use of off-peak consumption, but most plants I've experienced operate 24/7. Much of it is politics and bargaining for a better rate on the contract. Reply
DaveSylvia - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkHey Johan, great article as usual! Always enjoyed and appreciated your articles including those from back in the day at Ace's Hardware! Reply
JohanAnandtech - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkGood memory :-). I have been part of Anand's team for 6 years now, that is the same amount of time that I spend at Ace's. Reply
DaveSylvia - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkYeah! One of the first tech articles I recall reading was back in 1999. It was about how pipeline length influenced CPU clock speeds. You used Pentium II, K6, DEC Alpha's as examples :). All good stuff! Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - link
Or you could say that disabling turboboost (by using the power plan "balanced") results in an 10% throughput disadvantage.
Isn't there a power plan which lets the CPUs turbo up (as max performance does) and also lets them clock down if not needed (as balanced does)? It seems outright stupid to take turbo away from a Nehalem-like chip.
MrS Reply
has407 - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkNo reason you shouldn't be able to specify a power plan that does both, but for whatever reason it isn't provided out-of-the-box.
I'd guess that given the relatively small difference in idle power between "performance" and "balanced" (which seems to be more of "power capped" plan), maybe they (presumably the OEM?) decided it wasn't worth it.
There may also be stability issues with some system configurations or support concerns, as there's yet another set of variables to deal with. Reply
has407 - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkJohan -- That brings up an interesting question: How much of the underlying CPU's power management are you testing vs. a particular vendor or OS configuration? I'd expect them to closely reflect each other assuming everyone has their job.
As you're using Win 2008, it would be interesting to see what powercfg.exe shows for the various parameters for different modes and systems; e.g., "Busy Adjust Threshold", "Increase Policy", "Time Check", "Increase Percent", "Domain Accounting Policy" etc. Are there significant differences across systems/CPUs for the same profile? Reply
Whizzard9992 - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkHeat dissipation is also a concern, no? It's expensive to cool a datacenter. Low power should bring cooling costs down.
There's also a question of density. You can fit more low-power cores into 1U of space because of the heat dissipation. Multi-node blades are cheaper than 2U workhorses. Rack space is expensive for a lot of reasons. Just look at the Atom HPC servers: I bet the Atom would score pretty low in performance-per-watt versus even the LP XEON, but its sheer size and thermal envelope fit it in places the XEON can't.
Frankly, I'd be surprised if the low-power XEON saved "energy" at the same workloads versus full-power, given that both are on the same architecture. LP XEONs are really an architecture choice, and greasing the transition to many-cores via horizontal scaling. A good desktop analogy would be, "Is one super-fast core better than a slower multi-core?" Fortunately for the datacenter most servers only need one or the other.
Also, with physical nodes scaling out horizontally, entire nodes can be powered down during down times, with significant power savings. This is software-bound, and I haven't seen this in action yet, but it's a direction nonetheless.
Without getting into all of the details, I think a proper TCO analysis is in order. This article seems to really only touch on the actual power-consumption, where there are really no surprises. The full-power peaks performance a little better, and the LP stays within a tighter thermal-envelope.
The value of low-power is really low-heat in the datacenter. I'd like to see something that covers node density and cooling costs as well. A datacenter with all LP-servers is unrealistic, seeing as how some applications that scale vertically will dictate higher-performing processors. It would be nice to see what the total cost would be for, say a 2,000 node data center with 80% LP population versus 20% LP population. The TDP suggests a 1/3 drop in cooling costs and 1/3 better density. Reply
has407 - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkGood points. At the datacenter level, the IT equipment typically consumes 30% or less of the total power budget; for every 1 watt those servers etc. consume, add 2 watts to your budget for cooling, distribution, etc.
Not to mention that the amortized power provisioning cost can easily exceed the power cost over the life of the equipment (all that PD equipment, UPS's etc cost $$$), or that high power densities have numerous secondary effects (none good, at least in typical air-cooled environments).
I guess it really depends on your perspective: a datacenter end customer with a few racks (or less); a datacenter volume customer/reseller; a datacenter operator/owner; or a business who builds and operates your own private datacenters? Anadtech's analysis is really more appropriate for the smaller datacenter customer, and maybe smaller resellers.
Google published "The Datacenter as a Computer -- An Introduction to the Design of Warehouse-Scale Machines" which touches on many of the issues you mention, and should be of interest to anyone building or operating large systems or datacenters. It's not just about Google and has an excellent set of references; freely available at::

gerry_g - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkJust a little engineering clarification, one pays for electricity via energy units, not voltage, amperage or even power. Power is an instantaneous measurement, over time.
Electrical energy is almost universally measured/billed in KWh Kilo Watts x hours). Power plants and some rare facilities may use Mega Watt hours.
Why does it make a difference? Actual voltage not only has different standards but there are distribution loses. For example, nominal US 240/120V (most common on newer utility services) may droop considerably. However, in the US, if the building is fed via a three phase supply, nominal will be 208/120 volts!
That meter that measures the energy you pay for measures real power multiplied by time regardless of single phase, three phase, nominal voltage or voltage loses in the distribution system.
Most modern computer power supplies are fairly insensitive to reasonable variations in supply voltage. They have about the same power efficiency at high or low voltage. Thus they will consume the same wattage based given the same load regardless of present voltage.
Since we measure computer power supplies in Watts (capitalized since the unit is named or abbreviated after a persons name as is Volt and AMP or W, V and A). Wh (hours are not named after a person) is the most consistent base unit for energy consumption.
Watts of course are directly converted to units of heat, thus the air conditioning costs are somewhat directly computable.
Just trivia but consistent ;) Reply
gerry_g - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkI should clarify, Watts are NOT voltage times amperage in AC systems! Watts represent real power (billable and real heat). reactive and non-linear components generally draw greater amperage than is billed for if one just multiplies V x A! Look at a power supply sticker, it has a wattage rating and a VA (Voltage x Amperage) rating that do not match!
Also note, UPS systems have different VA and Wattage ratings!
For this reason, costs can only be computed by Watts x Time. (KWh as an example), not Voltage or Amperage. Reply
has407 - Friday, July 16, 2010 - linkHmm.... If your Watts come with power distribution, UPS, cooling and amortization, then maybe "costs can only be computed by Watts x Time".
If not, I think you're going to go broke rather quickly, at least allowing for ~1.25x for power distribution, ~1.5x for UPS, ~2x for cooling, and ~3x for CAPEX/amortization.
Would you settle at 12x your Watts for mine (in volume of course and leaving me a bit of margin)? Counter offer anyone? Reply
has407 - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkTrue, but as Johan posted earlier, he's looking at it from the datacenter customer perspective, and amps is how it's typically priced, because that's how it's typically provisioned.
The typical standard datacenter rate sheet has three major variables if you're using your own hardware: rack space, network, and power. Rack space is typically RU's with a minimum of 1/4 rack. Network is typically flat rate at a given speed, GB/mo or some combination thereof. Power is typically 110VAC at a given amperage, usually in 5-10A increments (at least in the US). You want different power--same watts but 220 instead of 110? Three-phase? Most will sell it to you, but at an extra charge because they'll probably need a different PDU (and maybe power run) just for you.
They don't generally charge you by the Watt for power, by the bit for network, or anything less than a 1/4 rack because the datacenter operators have to provision in manageable units, and to ensure they can meet SLAs. They have to charge for those units whether you use them or not because they have to provision the infrastructure based on the assumption that you will use them. (And if you exceed them, be prepared for nasty notes or serious additional charges.)
Those PDU's, UPS's, AC units, chillers, etc. don't care if you only used 80% of your allotted watts last month--they had to be sized and provisioned based on what you might have used. That's a fixed overhead that dwarfs the cost of the watts you actually used, that the datacenter operator had to provision and has to recover. If you want/need less than that, some odd increment or on-demand, then you go to a reseller who will sell you a slice of a server, or something like Amazon EC2.
If it makes people feel better (at least for those in the US), simply consider the unit of power/billing as ~396KWH (5A@110VA/mo) or ~792KWH (10A@110VAC/mo). Then multiply by 3, because that's the typical amount of power that's actually used (e.g., for distribution, cooling and UPS) above and beyond what your servers consume. Then multiply that by the $/KWH to come up with the operating cost. Then double it (or more) because that's the amortized cost of all those PDU's, UPS's and the cooling infrastructure in addition to the direct costs of electricity you're using.
In short, for SMB's who are using and paying for colo space and have a relatively small number of servers, the EX Xeon's may make sense, whereas those operating private datacenters or a warehouse full of machines may be better served by LP's. Reply
gerry_g - Friday, July 16, 2010 - link>True, but as Johan posted earlier, he's looking at it from the datacenter customer perspective, and amps is how it's typically priced, because that's how it's typically provisioned.
Not true at least in the US or UK. Electricity is priced in KWh. Circuit protection is rated (provisioned) by Amps. (a simple Google search or electricity price or cost will reveal that).
Volts x Amps is not equal to Wattage for most electronics. Thus VxAxHours is not what one is billed for. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, July 16, 2010 - linkYou're still looking at it from the residential perspective. If you colocate your servers to a data center, you pay *their* prices, not the electric company prices, which means you don't just pay for the power your server uses but you also pay for cooling and other costs. Just a quick example:
Earthnet charges $979 per month for one rack, which includes 42U of space, 175GB of data, 8 IP addresses, and 20 Amps of power use. So if you're going with the 1U server Johan used for testing, each server can use anywhere from 168W to ~300W, or somewhere between 1.46A and 2.61A. For 40 such servers in a rack, you're looking at 58.4A to 104A worst-case. If you're managing power so that the entire rack doesn't go over 60A, at Earthnet you're going to pay and extra $600 per month for the additional 40A. This is all in addition to bandwidth and hardware costs, naturally.
In other words, Earthnet looks to charge business customers roughly $0.18 per Wh, but it's a flat rate where you pay the full $0.18 per Wh for the entire month, assuming a constant 2300W of power draw (i.e. 20A at 115VAC). In reality your servers are probably maxing out at that level and generally staying closer to half the maximum, which means your "realistic" power costs (plus cooling, etc.) work out to nearly $0.40 per kWh. Reply
Penti - Saturday, July 17, 2010 - linkData centers aren't exactly using a 400V/240V residential connection. It's 10/11/20 or even 200 kV and their own transformers or so. And of course megawatts of power.
Inside the datacenter it's all based on the connections and amps available though. You just can't have an unlimited load on a power socket from a PDU. And it's mostly metered. Reply
gerry_g - Thursday, July 15, 2010 - linkHumor intended...
The average human outputs ~300 BTU/hour of heat and significant moisture. Working from home will cut the server facilities air conditioning bill by lowering the heat and humidity the AC system needs to remove! Reply
duploxxx - Friday, July 16, 2010 - linkIt is a very nice test, but always those tests are done with extreme low or extreme high bins while the mass isn't buying these parts, In the field you rather see huge piles of for example E5620-30 series and X5650, result differences should be interesting to see or at least for once provide an idea about the scaling in portfolio. (I know this is a difficult one)
Although It is very interesting to see the differences within vendors or between vendors there is one major thing that is missing in all these tests. This review will provide any interested IT a good overview what he could do with power consumption and the performance but what is left out here is the big influence from OEM.
OEM have there own powersavings/regulators/dynamics that influence the server a lot both in OS and BIOS, even often in a very bad way. So while it is an interesting article most IT will never get the result they wanted due to the OEM implementation. Reply
indiamap - Friday, July 16, 2010 - linkI do agree 100% with the author. Johan is very much clear on what he is more concerned about, the electricity bill. It's very much true that electricity bills eat up large amount of income of <a href="http://www.indiamaphosting.com/">Internet Marketing India</a> companies and it's a huge burden from business point of view. This can be tackled by opting for better hardware's which is compatible with green energy and helps in cutting the electricity bill extensively and saves huge sum of money for the organization in the long run. Reply
indiamap - Friday, July 16, 2010 - linkThis is what the internet companies were looking for. Cost Cutting. It is very essential from business POV. Lesser the energy consumption, more the investment on product research. Great numbers exposed. Thanks a lot Johan. I wonder this is why Google started electricity generating stations to power its massive data centers.

Casper42 - Saturday, July 17, 2010 - linkSo first off I have to say that using a home built Machine with an Asus mobo and trying to talk intelligently about Datacenter Power is not really a fair comparison. Stick to the big 3 (HP/Dell/IBM) when doing these kinds of comparisons.
Now the real reason I posted was because you mentioned the speed of the memory you used, but made NO mention of the speed the memory was actually running at.
With the Nehalem and Westmere Xeons, only the X series can run the memory at 1333 while the others (E and L series) start at 1066. When you run more than one bank of memory you can also see your memory frequency decline depending on the server vendor you are using. I think HP has a bit you can flip in their machines that will allow you to run 2 banks @ 1333 (again, assuming X Series proc) but if you don't turn that on, you step down from 1 bank @ 1333 to 2 @ 1066 and even 3 @ 800.
The reason I bring this up is because you said yourself your machine was NOT CPU bound, and you weren't entirely sure why the tests completed with such different times. Well memory performance could be part of that equation.
Lastly, you have to remember that not every server in a DC is running VMWare/HyperV and there are still tons of servers with basic Windows or Linux App/Web workloads running right on the hardware. These kind of servers on average in the industry run less than 10% of the CPU max in a given day (might be spikes for backups and other jobs, but the average is <10%)
So if you had a rack with 20 2U Servers and you didn't need VMWare/SQL/Oracle level performance in those racks, why not run them with L series processors and across an entire rack you are saving a decent amount of power.
PS: Where are you guys at AT located? Your "About Us" button up top has been useless for quite some time now. Not sure it could be pulled off, but you should really look into asking the big 3 for demo gear. Getting a Nehalem EX right now is damn near impossible but a Westmere EP would be doable. The problem here is they do loaners to get sales, not to get reviews, so what you really need to do is find some friends who work in IT at very large companies in your area who would be willing to let you get some wrench time on their demo equipment. 60-90 day loans are quite common.

tjohn46 - Tuesday, July 20, 2010 - linkI'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else make a similar comment yet: I've been curious about this for a long time, but I would rather see a comparison between 2 CPUs that are intended to be competitive.
It looks Intel changed things a bit with 5600 series xeons, but previously (including with the 5500's) intel would match up model numbers, cores, and clock speeds. The model with the 'L' prefix would just have a lower TDP. I was always curious if those performed just as well or not?
For example:
E5520 vs L5520
E5530 vs L5530
I see AMD also has some 80W and 65W comparable models if you do end up testing opterons.
That would be the real "is it worth the processor price premium?" question in my opinion. Of course the high end part which doesn't have a comparable "low power" model is going to perform better.. but like someone else said, a typical data center tends to have many more of the midrange parts (like an E5530) installed which also have lower power conterparts at a $200ish premium.

eva2000 - Saturday, July 31, 2010 - linkinteresting to see how they compare when it comes to linux OS i.e. centos 5.5 or redhat 5.5 :) Reply

It's where you belong if you want to be there for reasons intrinsic to the duty as if no one else is watching or assigning you valor. If the romanticism of the Navy is why you think you want it, you'll be weeded out before long in the process, which is helpful to both the nation and your own life. You don't want to abandon your professional career only to be a drop-out or wash-out in Basic. That's a waste of both military funding and your own time.

All NFTE students complete a business plan: the experience is the hallmark of our program. But then what? For the students who grow to see themselves as entrepreneurs, the next step is to go from "ideas" to "operations" - a transition that is easier said than done. Startup Summer was designed to jumpstart the business launch process by providing students with access to capital; volunteer business coaches; and a platform to set clear goals and deliverables and share their progress. Current high school students ages 16 and over who are ready to implement the business plans they completed through NFTE's program will be eligible to apply.
Each Startup Summer student receives an investment grant, a stipend, and the opportunity to work with dedicated business coaches, in addition to relevant tools and resources. After an "Ignition Week" at the beginning of the summer, in which students will set individual goals, create marketing materials, and other initial steps, students will meet twice a week for the next 5-6 weeks. Participants will present on their progress at the end of the summer, and then continue to meet with NFTE staff and volunteer business coaches during the school year.

The San Diego Section contingent left the Masters tournament and headed north with 42 wrestlers hoping to place in the State Championships. After Day 1, 16 wrestlers still have hope.
Of the 16, only two reached the semifinals — El Centro Central's Micah Perez at 113 and Poway's Connor King at 170.
This may be the first time King has been to the California State Championships, but with him already being a state champion he feels comfortable.
"This is an awesome tournament. There are a lot of really good guys all in one division, which makes it that tougher," said King, a 2011 Colorado state champion. "Being a Colorado state champion was awesome. It was a big accomplishment that I had worked for a long time, and this year is just a step up for me and a new challenge."
King will face Bakersfield's Silas Nacita, a foe he has seen earlier this season.
"I have a really good wrestler in the semis who I lost a close one to," King said. "I know he's going to bring it just like I am so I'm going to attack him and do my best. I'll see what happens: maybe I get it, maybe I don't."
Perez will wrestle Clovis' Jonas Gaytan in the semis.
For the rest of the San Diego Section the first match of today's action will be the win-or-go-home match as the winners assure themselves a state medal.
"I feel I've been wrestling really strong except for that last match where I just got handled, but I have to come back and win tomorrow," Steele Canyon senior 160-pounder Brady Beamon said. "I'm going to get nice and warm, stay hydrated and just get ready to bring it. I'm going to go after that takedown and push him for that win."
A wrestler who is already all too familiar with the vaunted match to place is Otay Ranch junior 106-pounder Alfredo "Tommy" Espinoza, who won his match last year en route to placing seventh.
"It's as pressure as pressure gets. I call it a do-or-die match," Espinoza said. "That match is all about performing under pressure and attacking first.
"This whole wrestling thing is about how mentally tough you are and tomorrow I'm going to be the tougher one attacking first and not letting my opponent breathe."
The team race is all but over. Clovis leads the field with 164.5 points followed by Bakersfield with 85.5 points. Poway sits in third with 76 points.
Wrestling starts at 9 a.m. today with finals set for 7 p.m.

A one-time prolific Colne crook who managed to keep his nose clean for a year returned to stealing when he fell back into his drugs habit, a court heard.
Francis Duffy, 36, pinched meat and cheese worth about £200 from shops in Colne and Brierfield over several days. He made full admissions when questioned by police.
Burnley magistrates were told how Duffy has 200 offences on his record, almost all of them for similar offences and had been out thieving on almost a daily basis over the years.
The hearing was told the defendant was now progressing well on a drugs programme imposed recently and a judge gave him to chance to continue.
The defendant, formerly of Slater Avenue, Colne, and who lived in the town for many years, has now moved to Sough, Earby. He admitted theft allegations at the end of May and beginning of June. Duffy received a community order with a 12 week curfew, between 8pm and 8am. He must pay £120 compensation.
Sentencing him, District Judge James Clarke said custody wasn't inevitable. He said he was giving the defendant the opportunity to continue with his current supervision order as his attendance had been good and it was early days in respect of the order.
The judge added :" A wise man said to me rehabilitation is a process, not an event. I think the process is starting for you."
Mark Williams, defending Duffy, said he accepted his record did him no favours whatsoever. In December 2012, the defendant had been given a drugs rehabilitation order and he had completed it without breach and kept out of trouble for the whole of 2013. But, his drug habit then resurfaced and he was sentenced for theft and making a false representation.
The solicitor continued:" He's co-operating with the order and keeping his appointments. He has kept nine out of 11 appointments. He seems to be progressing quite well and the medication he has now been prescribed was only prescribed last week."

This is my first post on the BackTrack forums; I searched Google, these forums and the official Pyrit project site as well as read through pureh@te's guide prior to making this thread. I've downloaded the latest NVIDIA drivers for the GTX 470 along with the CUDA SDK, OpenCL files, Pyrit 0.3.0, and Cpyrit 0.3.0. I install the drivers without a problem, and then compile Cpyrit, but yet the GTX 470 doesn't appear. When I tried installing the OpenCL version however the GTX 470 showed up in Pyrit, but didn't seem to function. Any assistance?
P.S. Which one would be better - CUDA or OpenCL?

Galleria Centercity
Situated some 80 km south of Seoul, Cheonan is well connected to the capital by railway and road, with a new high speed rail link having recently been completed.
The area around the new high speed terminal is under development
and - prominently visible from the main road - the Galleria
Centercity marks the entrance to this new development area.
The main architectural theme for the Galleria Cheonan is that of dynamic flow. This is found both inside and outside. The architecture responds to its central position by presenting a deliberately changeable aspect all-around. Moiré effects, special lighting and animations ensure that the outside changes appearance constantly.
The double layered facade encloses the building, with a number of strategic openings incorporated into the inner facade layer.These openings provide daylight to the interior. At the same time, the lamellas of the outer facade prevent direct sunlight from entering the building, ensuring a cooler environment, while the use of white finishes throughout the interior minimises the need for artificial lighting.
The Galleria Cheonan responds to the current retail climate in Asia, where department stores also operate as social and semi-cultural meeting places. Because of this, the quality of the public spaces within the building was treated as an integral aspect of the design./Ben van Berkel
The interior derives its character from the accumulation of rounded plateaus on long columns. The repetition of curves, enhanced by coiled strip lighting in the ceilings of the platforms, gives the interior its distinctive character. Four stacked program clusters, each encompassing three storys and containing public plateaus, are linked to the central void.
This organization propels a fluent upstream flow of people through the building, from the ground floor atrium to the roof terrace. As the plateaus are positioned in a rotational manner in space, they enable the central space to encompass way finding, vertical circulation, orientation and act as main attractor of the department store. The spatial and visual connections within the space are designed to generate a lively and stimulating environment, in which the user is central.
The strategy for the building enclosure consists of creating an optical illusion. During the day the building has a monochrome reflective appearance, whilst at night soft colors are used to generate waves of colored light across the large scale illuminated surface. The lighting design was developed in parallel with the architecture and capitalizes on the double layered facade structure. Computer generated animations specially designed by UNStudio are incorporated into the lighting design and refer to themes related to the department store, such as fashion, events, art and public life.
The most interesting thing to me about the effect of the Galleria Cheonan is that, because of the organisation of the atrium and the moiré treatment of the facade, Illusions are created which result in the seeming alteration of scales and the creation of double images. No image is permanent in this building./Ben van Berkel

I have really begun to enjoy planking. This recipe is from an online publications and was probably a Ted Reader invention. I do not follow the recipe exactly so I dont have the proportions any more. I will describe it as best I can. It is one of our favorite dishes and I have used many types of planks-- all are good.
You will need...
big boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut a pocket in each
pepper jack cheese
mayo, I use Duke's
6 or 8 strips thick bacon, crisped and crumbled
4 or 5 green onions, chopped
2 or 3 chipotle peppers, minced and a few teaspoons of the adobo sauce
the chicken breasts are stuffed with the cheese and placed on the plank
the remaining ingredients are combined to make the sauce then spread on the chicken
a simple slaw for the salad...
they are cooked around 350 for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Indirect is a soft light smoke and direct is a heavy smoke. These were done direct...
I served them with a side of cauliflower rice as well. Very simple... shred cauliflower florets in food pro. Nuke, covered, for 4 minutes-- no water added. I added butter, salt and pepper after it was finished.
One of our favorites... I hope you like it too.

It drives me a little crazy when Mike Pelfrey has bad starts and he's crazy. He's irredeemably terrible, and not smart enough to make adjustments. He's a waste of a roster spot.
It drives me a little crazy when Mike Pelfrey has good starts and he's turning a corner. He's figuring it out. He's learning to become an ace.
He's the same guy.
His walk rates are pretty low. His strikeout rates are very low. He gets ground balls in bunches. And his success fluctuates, as you'd expect, based on the luck he has on balls in play.
I mean, his xFIP, which is fielding-independent and luck-independent ERA, was 4.45 in 2008, 4.47 in 2009, 4.31 in 2010. It is 4.40 in 2011.
Same guy.
Now, my only caveat would be this: last night, he didn't get ground balls in bunches. In fact, he got a total of three over seven innings, which in many restaurants, wouldn't be a big enough bunch to merit a reservation. He also struck out six, which would be a pace of 7.7 per nine innings- way above his career norm of around five per nine.
What does this mean? My guess is, very little. He had a similar game back in April against Arizona, then went right back to getting ground balls and generally not striking out people. It could be that he's figured out how to succeed when he isn't getting his normal number of ground balls, though- in past seasons, when he gave up fly balls, the results deteriorated rapidly.
Obviously, if Pelfrey has figured out how to consistently win even when ground balls desert him, he'll improve a bit. Generally, though, more fly balls mean more runs, no matter who is pitching. If he figures out how to get hitters to consistently swing and miss, he'll improve even more.
But what we're probably talking about here is a one-game statistical blip. You know why? Because Mike Pelfrey isn't crazy. He isn't dumb (far from it). He isn't, alas, an ace, and he probably isn't figuring it out.
He's. The. Same. Guy.

A Bromageden is an epic dude party commonly consisting of 5 or more bros, one or more consecutive all nighters, energy drinks, and lots of video games. This level of enjoyment is only achieved usually one or two times a year. A girl arriving at any Bromageden instantly relegates it to just a party, as Bromageden are exclusively male events. The term was originally coined by a group of high school guys in northern Indiana who threw an epic party once a year.

Not TrueScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Two geologists, Dr. Roeboensonsin and Dr. Thistle, were preparing a test sample for a student. The student, who was spending one college trimester doing field work, has been doing very questionable work. Both doctors wonder if he is a student or not.
The student came the next day to work through the sample. He got through every sample, finally coming to the last one. He looked down at it, and said, "These are two diamonds". Dr. Thistle and Dr. Roeboensonsin both knew that a student couldn't get that sample wrong and told him to go home, as he wasn't a student. Why was his answer wrong?
AnswerThe last sample was a diamond and cubic zirconia. Even a student would have known that they weren't both diamonds, and therefore the doctors, Dr. Thistle and Dr. Roeboensonsin, both knew he had to have been lying.

Additional Information
Wholesale Coyote Brown - Tactical MOLLE Backstrap 3-Liter Hydration System
Wholesale Hydration Systems & Packs
Clean, fresh drinking water is essential to human and other life. To function properly, the body requires between one and seven liters of water per day to avoid dehydration; the precise amount depends on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors. In recreation and other sustained outdoor activities, a hydration system is intended to promote its user's drinking enough liquid to support the physical effort involved in the activity. Hydration systems are flexible bladders filled with water connected to a hose to drink from. A basic hydration system is in a protective fabric shell, so that the bladder is unlikely to be damaged by other gear that it shares with the interior of an ordinary pack. Hydration systems are refillable; most hydration systems are refilled by the unscrewing of a cap. Hydration systems also feature a bite valve which helps start and stop the flow of liquid through the hose with minimum effort. Hydration systems are ideal items for outdoor activities to keep hydrated. Many of our hydration systems are compatible with brands such as Venturer, Blackhawk and Camelback systems. A "hydration-system compatible" backpack is a pack that will usually feature a hole through the pack, near the upper anchoring point of the pack's shoulder straps, sized for the hose and bite valve to pass through it, and often covered by a flap that prevents rain entering the pack through it. As part of an integrated design, incorporating both a backpack and the hydration system (usually sold together as a hydration pack), usually with at least a few pockets-worth of storage space for other items. Such a combination is likely to have a channel inside one or both shoulder straps, for the hose to pass through, preventing the hose from tangling with other gear or the environment, and ameliorating the annoyance of the liquid warming up while waiting in the hose to be drunk next, or the problem of it freezing. Hydration Systems & Packs are also known as United States Military water carriers replicas, government issued travelers water gear, army navy H20 containers replicas, tactical backpack water tanks, cheap discounted running equipments, emergency survivalists sales, runners camelback safety drinkers, etc. Hydration Systems & Packs are commonly misspelled as arme navee hydration sistems, etc.

While voters in Washington and Colorado have already approved recreational use of marijuana, a direct vote by New Mexicans is not yet on the political horizon.
Even with a 2013 Gallup poll showing that a record high of 58 percent of Americans favor legalizing the plant, a constitutional amendment proposed here seems like a long shot.
Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, introduced a bill last month that is scheduled for a hearing in front of the Senate Rules Committee on Friday, but a lone Democratic senator appears to have the power to block the measure from gaining the approval of lawmakers and heading to the ballot in November.
Sen. Clemente Sanchez, D-Grants, tells SFR that he hasn't made a final decision, but doesn't think that now is the time to make cannabis legal.
He's siding with four Republicans on the committee who are standing in solidarity with Gov.
Susana Martinez against Senate Resolution 10. A tie vote of the 10 members at the Feb.7 meeting would effectively kill the measure for this lawmaking session. Sanchez said this weekend that he doesn't think New Mexico should follow its neighbors to the north.
"We need to wait to see what happens in Colorado first," says Sanchez, who also concedes that cannabis will likely be legalized in NM in the future.
But even then, Sanchez says he doesn't want a direct vote by residents on the matter. He believes it should only be debated by lawmakers and legalized by statute.
Despite a pessimistic canvas of committee members, Drug Policy Alliance of New Mexico State Director Emily Kaltenbach says she's not giving up on Ortiz y Pino's resolution yet.
"This issue deserves a real debate by all the members on the Senate floor," says Kaltenbach. "We're not asking lawmakers to vote on legalization themselves."
Arguments against allowing voters to decide on a constitutional amendment, Kaltenbach insists, would deny New Mexicans access to a major tenant of democracy.
"Let's give them a chance to voice their opinion," she says.
Wilderness Medicine Training Center Instructor Patrick Noble, a former Santa Fe County emergency medical technician who also favors a direct vote, tells SFR that he doesn't think it makes economic since to wait another five or six years to legalize pot while watching Colorado reap all the economic benefits from taxing and regulating pot.
Noble, aware of the contentious politics behind the issue, says he thinks the tide is turning in favor of legalization. He'd like to see the revenue collected from sales tax and grow permits be used to fund substance abuse programs or education.
The ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee, Sen. Sander Rue, R-Sandoval, declined an interview with SFR on the issue. Some pundits theorize that open-minded Republicans and libertarians who may otherwise support marijuana legalization are making political calculations about putting the issue on a general election ballot because it could boost Democratic voter turnout in November.
For now, Ortiz y Pino says he's still trying to persuade Sanchez, "but he hasn't budged."
Note: An earlier version of this story said the hearing was planned for Wednesday, but SFR learned after press time Tuesday that it's now scheduled for Friday. Committee hearing agendas change frequently. We'll try to keep you posted.
