Preview Of The Massive New Open-Source, Linux Test Farm

Wouldn't a Kaveri APU be less than half the power usage of a cpu + 260x though? 115W TDP + whatever the cpu takes.

I have two Kaveris in the farm too.

cable management?

dude, that looks sweet! but maybe some cable management is in order?

Yes, right now using Radeon R7 260X for energy efficient RadeonSI testing. But is not on a per-commit basis but on a daily basis --given the number of commits spanning the projects.

Great, I will renew my Premium subscription as soon as the new test farm will go online

Full details are coming out on Tuesday then sometime in the next ~2 weeks or so the result data will start being out publicly (still working out a new public UI for result viewing/analysis, building up more results as some systems are just online a few days, etc).

That's a project for the wife this weekend now that most of the systems are up... 30th and final (for now) system being added tomorrow once another case and mobo arrives.

Found another two completed systems I forgot about when moving... Looks like will be able to hit 32. Could do 36 if I had few more sticks of RAM and cases/PSUs. After that, would be concerned about all of this running off one circuit.
