Mysticial Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 What's the policy of borrowing or loaning hardware? Someone has offered to give me remote-login access to a number of systems including a dual Xeon E5-2696 V4 (Broadwell-EP with 44 cores/88 threads and 768 GB of memory). The purpose of this is to do scalability tuning for y-cruncher. But I am also authorized to run and disclose benchmarks on this thing. Would it be bad taste to submit benchmarks from hardware that I do not own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENiEBEN Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 It's fine as long as only you post scores with that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticial Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Thanks. Though on second thought, I'm not sure if I'll be able to run any valid benchmarks on them. They're all running Windows 10, and I don't think I have permission to touch the bootcfg to turn on HPET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Pro-tip: disable points and you can submit all you want. The "hardware sharing"-rule is specifically for preventing multiple users scoring points with a single system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
