May 5, 20169 yr 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?
May 5, 20169 yr Author 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.
