GPU-Computing macOS Big Sur vs iBuntu Lux Sur

Hello, Let’s test this beauty from the last post on… LuxMark ;-). The thing is that I wanted to compare OpenCL. I know that OpenCL in both systems is not working entirely right. I found on macOS that (multi-GPU case) clFinish(q) is slow down each time, on iBuntu -cl-fast-relaxed-math causes a black-scenes on Lux Ball… and on Darknet on OpenCL it is more things wrong, but maybe there are my bugs, so… Continue ReadingGPU-Computing macOS Big Sur vs iBuntu Lux Sur

Mac Moria Miner Project Failure

Hello, every failure is a lesson, so let me describe my experiment and the story behind it… I dream about the most robust possible GPU-computing macOS. Let’s start with hardware… design, the way it looks, is not a design, so let’s name it the look and feel ;-). I am sorry to Apple, please forgive me. This was only for tests and future, again try, Ph.D. studies. Do not look at it Continue ReadingMac Moria Miner Project Failure

MMM means Mac Moria Miner project

Hello, my dear readers. Today I would like to remind you of an excellent viewpoint of Steve Jobs, who I want to learn from, more from the story and public-faced information than from internal people skills… but anyway, here is the short interview I would like to influence you with first. The secret of life is that things around you are made by people no more intelligent than you, so if you Continue ReadingMMM means Mac Moria Miner project

DreamPC vs HaniaPC

Hi, today I would like to share some recent hardware updates. I put in a HaniaPC the new ASUS AMD Radeon RT 6900 XT and I was wonder how it is performing compared to a Green PC workstation I upgraded in 2019 with 2 x NVidia Titan RTX 24GB VRAM each with NVLink. So are you interested in the test results? I used 3DMark for Microsoft Windows and Geekbench that is multiplatform Continue ReadingDreamPC vs HaniaPC

Ph.D. Hanna (Hackintosh) is Ready

Hi, Today I want to show you my new Ph.D. research workstation… I know it is black and red… but I love ASUS ROG ;-). Do not worry. It will be only specifications and pictures without too many words ;-). Simply I disassembly Hania PC (prototype) and improved some elements by 2 times. SPECIFICATION Case: ASUS ROG Strix Helios Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming ATX Central Processor Unit: Intel Core i9-9900K, Continue ReadingPh.D. Hanna (Hackintosh) is Ready

Ph.D. Hania (Hackintosh) is Ready

Hi, I would like to show you my finished Hackintosh build photos with all peripherals devices from Apple and Speakers from the IK Multimedia named iLoud… I think it is fantastic, so take a look at the less than $5000 build with the best OS on the planet… macOS Catalina :P… I love Apple :P. What do you think? SPECIFICATION (ALL FRIENDLY NAMES IN BRACKETS WERE MY DAUGHTER’S IDEA) Case: NCase M1 Continue ReadingPh.D. Hania (Hackintosh) is Ready

Hania PC… well… it needs macOS

Hello, after a recent and viral post with our, mine and my daughter, about Hania – our new PC – for my Ph.D. work… I would like to tell you a story with a happy ending. I always dream of a unique and beauty Mac Pro, which is, in my opinion, well… a dream machine for any researcher, especially in AI/ML field. Do not get me wrong… I love Open Source, and Continue ReadingHania PC… well… it needs macOS

DarkNet in OpenCL

Hi, Today I would like to announce that my GitHub fork at https://github.com/sowson/darknet has a new update, the fork is an advanced port of DarkNet CNN from CUDA to OpenCL and tested on macOS with eGPU from Sonnet named Breakaway RX 570 Puck and on my GreenPC it also supports Intel Iris GPU, OpenCV 3, and there are several use cases for it. Yolo3, Yolo2, Yolo1, CIFAR-10 solutions work fine, using demo from Continue ReadingDarkNet in OpenCL
