I created new short "Jet sound in basement, 8-socket server starting ;-)" for those who do not:

I think those servers spin the fans at full when booting as a preventative measure to clear out the accumulated cat hair. For the two-socket server here I get

Code:

# dmidecode -t memory | grep "Speed" | sort | uniq -c      8     Configured Memory Speed: 1866 MT/s      8     Speed: 2133 MT/s
which explains why the kittens were meowing yesterday. I wonder why the configured speed is slower than the rated memory speed. Could that be because it's a v3 Xeon?
I see same discrepancy in speeds here:

Code:

hermann@x3950-X6: ~$ sudo dmidecode -t memory | grep "Speed" | sort | uniq -c     32 Configured Memory Speed: 1600 MT/s     32 Speed: 2133 MT/shermann@x3950-X6:~ $
But not because it is a v3 Xeon, from 8880 v3 spec ...

Memory Types : DDR4-1333/1600/1866, DDR3...

... as v4 has same restrictions:

Memory Types: DDR4-1333/1600/1866 DDR3...

Even my favorite 24-core 8890v4:

You cannot change distance function to float, that is likely to return different optimum and the rules of mona-lisa100K.tsp need to be followed. Also your own random generator does not allow to compare apples to apples. I will try to change both and get your code do exact same computation.


P.S:
Tool validate_all allows me to compare normalized and see any unwanted code difference:
https://github.com/Hermann-SW/RR/blob/m ... lidate_all

Code:

pi@raspberrypi5:~/RR/tsp/pthread/all $ ./validate_all nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out'pi@raspberrypi5:~/RR/tsp/pthread/all $ 
That only works because of using same "std::mt19937" random generator.
