carldani: michaellarabel: flashrom 0.9.0 is out. I just want to make sure you see it and no spam filter triggers on the release announcement. ;-)
michaellarabel: carldani: Yes, I got it, thanks. Already have an article typed up from this weekend. It will be posted shortly.
carldani: michaellarabel: great article, thanks! Do you mind if we link to it from the coreboot web site?
carldani: michaellarabel: great article, thanks! Do you mind if we link to it from the coreboot web site?
michaellarabel: carldani: Completely find, I never mind links :)
evocallaghan: michaellarabel:*really* must get something up about our osol fork sometime please please please :)
evocallaghan: michaellarabel:also, what are we going to do about this custom livecd you want with the test suit on it?
michaellarabel: evocallaghan: I have no time to explore the OpenSolaris packaging part of it, so it's stalled.
evocallaghan: michaellarabel: ok, give me a bell when you want a ISO spinned for you.
Kano: michaellarabel: btw. nexuiz 2.5.1 is out
Kano: just found it

Deanjo: "Flashrom is also supported under FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, OpenSolaris, and Mac OS X." What pray tell are you going to flash on a Mac?
Deanjo: OF? EFI?
Deanjo: michaellarabel, found another benchmark you might want to add. multithreaded and has a benchmark mode. ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/source/ The crafty chess engine http://www.cis.uab.edu/info/faculty/hyatt/hyatt.html
michaellarabel: ooo thanks Deanjo
Deanjo: Should be pretty easy to make a profile for
michaellarabel: Doesn't want to build too nicely.
Deanjo: I haven't tried it, but there are a whole crapload of chess engines with benchmarking modes out there
michaellarabel: do you know what the benchmarking option is for this one? There isn't much (any?) documentation
michaellarabel: do you know of any other chess engine benchmarks?
Deanjo: ya the switch is bench. The full list of switches can be found in the crafty.hlp file
michaellarabel: ah
Deanjo: Ya I had a list of them at work today, forgot to bring them home. I'll forward it to ya tomorrow
michaellarabel: At least on Linux x86_64, it runs into NUMA problems
Deanjo: what was your make command?
michaellarabel: make linux-amd64
Deanjo: hmm, ya I see what you mean
michaellarabel: So far I don't see any other chess engines on Linux with benchmark capabilities.
Deanjo: let me check what opensuse's package has in the spec file for the 64-bit version
michaellarabel: I managed to fix it by removing -DNUMA from makefile
Deanjo: Ya, this is what their patch looks like http://pastebin.com/m7df91134
Deanjo: That was for an older version though
michaellarabel: it runs fine when I remove -DNUMA
Deanjo: hmmm doesn't here
Deanjo: doh, dumbass you have to save the Makefile before compiling :P
Deanjo: ya that works here too now michaellarabel
Azerthoth: Deanjo when you went to put those bulls down, you didnt do it by headbutting them did you?
Azerthoth: *evil grin*
Deanjo: shhh
Deanjo: That was supposed to be our secret :P
Azerthoth: *shame* *hiding*
Deanjo: takes Azerthoth off the Christmas card list
Deanjo: Damn, now I have even bigger problems..... only 3 more beer left in the fridge
Azerthoth: adds Deanjo to the "thing that just aint right" list ... again
Deanjo: Time to sell a kid, need more beer
Azerthoth: got a half rack here
Deanjo: need a kid? :P
Azerthoth: nope
Deanjo: 1 kid for trade, brand negotiable
Azerthoth: er ... old enough to watch other kids?
Deanjo: Got your pick of 5
Deanjo: :D
Azerthoth: better idea, I'll send you beer and a kid
Deanjo: lol NO DEAL
Deanjo: Better try ebay, craigs list or kijiji I guess
Deanjo: Hmmm, michaellarabel is crafty running on more then one core for you after removing -DNUMA?
michaellarabel: appears to be on a dual core laptop
michaellarabel: will run on a quad core once profile is written
Deanjo: At the end of the bench on your dual core what does it say for # of CPU's?
Deanjo: 1? or 2?
michaellarabel: where does it report core count in the output?
Deanjo: IDK michaellarabel, in the windows version it reports thread cound
Deanjo: count
