So a recent comp sci grad looking for (fun) employment. I like software engineering, and I'm good at at. But what I actually want to do is work on unique hardware projects. The kind of company I would work for does this sort of project... A small engineering company needs a CFD simulation cluster, looking to run their CFD simulations in single digit minuets. What hardware do they need? Whats the network topology? Storage? Software stack? What does each individual node look like? That's the kind of problems I want to work on, and I'll be good at it, it's honestly something I do for fun sometimes (not commercially obvs, I just invent a problem and plan out how I would approach it from all the relevant angles.) Think what L1T or ServeTheHome does in some of their videos/reviews testing a platforms performance, those are the sorts of tests I would want to do. Find out exactly what hardware configuration leads to the optimal performance What I don't know is who does this? (in the UK) And what qualifications would they want from me?

nope

It doesn't show up in file explorer and in disk manager the option to assign it a letter is greyed out. Ive tried a couple different USB ports and a different computer

So I've got an old drive from a dead windows 7 laptop. Its in a sata usb dock and it shows up in disk manager as healthy, but I can't explore the volume. What do I need to do?

Hi So prior to today I have never had an issue like this before I've got an i7 8750h and GTX1060 for reference. So in games I am not only getting about 35% ish use from my gpu with stuttering and lag. All the CPU cores are bellow 30%. This is a new issue and seems to be across all the games I have tested so far. Everything is up to date, Ive turned off any power management stuff (or more correctly, check it was off. And it was) Any ideas?

So I want to stream the audio from a USB audio interface to a webpage ideally from a C#.net program running on the PC with the audio interface. What is the best way of going about this?

I mean why not...? Sometimes you don't need a reason!

Officially the Y530 only supports up to 16GB DIMMs but the i7-8750H I have supports up to 64GB of RAM, so in theory it should support 2x32GB DIMMs? Is there any reason why this wouldn't work other than it not being officially validated?

Campus internet is the bomb, this is at about 8PM at night, so peak Netflix time for students. The most I've ever seen is 975Mbps Down and 980Mbps Up at about 6am in the morning. Allegedly the HPC lab can get a 9.5Gbps symmetric connection all the time

o I am looking at upgrading to some new monitors and was looking at the PD3200Q but I remember these had some flickering and display issues that never got properly fixed as of this post in 2018 Has it changed since? My presumption is not as its because of a faulty chip on the panel its self. If its not fixed what are the best alternatives? 32 inch and 1440p, the only other options I know of are the Acer EB321HQU and Asus PB328Q. One obviously being considerably more expensive than the other.

Well since we already have a large screen we were thinking just use that, we have a video switcher we can use and I have a reasonable idea of how we'd go about making some graphics Yea this was also why we wanted to keep it at a low cost, about a tenner + a bit for food and drinks for a night out playing and watching people play video games with the potential to win a £50 steam voucher or whatever seems like a fair deal

Yeah, I think we probably will actually. It also makes it more open to kids as we as a venue couldnt let them play games they arent old enough to buy. And as we all know kids have way to much disposable income

Cant belive i over looked this! Theres about 50k people within 15 mins of the venue and 250-500k within 30m to 1hr I suppose those are good points, I'll keep them in mind

We have a large bar area, we could also do this. Thanks!

I think it depends on the level, locally there are probably loads of people who are 'good enough' to want or feel they could enter a competition. Or at least that was my thinking.
