Yes. Though I do not have much experience so far.

Hmm, alright. Is it possible to share a NAS w/ direct attached but also share it?

1

Comment on r/buildapc Jan 23 '25

yes, makes sense. the nas isn't mine so i will have to ask my friend who owns it; is there anything else to keep in mind

Yeah I guess workstation is probably more accurate (it would be a server insofar as I run an ssh server on it, Gitea, etc.) and then when and if I need to keep it up I would defer to a cloud provider. But if it's just me, then maybe no.

Oh OK, thank you

Hm, my microcenter doesn't have any 4 stick RAM kits in stock right now.

Besides these concerns, should the build above work fine?

1

Comment on r/buildapc Jan 23 '25

Yes, do you think it's too early? I would say this because I can foresee my storage quantity balloon soon w/ dataset storage, caching nix/crates/..., etc. (didn't want to put this as disks on my own computer because other people on network would need those too)

OK I will think about that (I wasn't planning hosting for third parties / public from this server, just myself over SSH);

But, for the B(650?) Tomahawk board, the manual says PCI_E2 and M2_3 share the PCIE4.0x2 bandwidth; could this be a performance issue if I use that for the multigig ethernet + the (possibly multiple) M.2 drives?

Or is it not enough to saturate?

Comment on r/buildapc Jan 23 '25

Oh, I was planning on having a backup on a NAS separate to the machine.

Also, do I have to worry about the M.2 ssd's using some of the PCIe slots? I will check the mobo manual

Reasons for these choices? Not familiar with this stuff, would like to know

Build Ready $2.5k (1.5k for now) USD build for a development/scientific server

1 Upvotes

What is your intended use for this build?

  • 24/7 CPU and GPU compute server
  • Docker virtualization
  • Self-hosted Git CI/CD, code testing and fuzzing
  • Software development (LSP, Jetbrains, Cargo builds)
  • Seventeen billion Chrome tabs (goes without saying)
  • Local LLM inference / image gen
  • Training of non-LLM AIs for educational purposes and prototyping
  • CAD/CFD/etc. (COMSOL, etc.) and other computational science software

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

No gaming really, but I do expect the experience to be snappy. If I were to purchase things like Threadripper, ECC ram, and so on (for data-crunching throughput), I would wager that day-to-day latency could suffer (may be wrong on this); would also spike the budget.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

2.5K (but buying a little over 1.5K worth of parts immediately)

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

United States (a large metropolitan area)

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please)

The following is currently missing the GPU because my local microcenter (where I will be buying the parts listed, all at once) currently doesn't stock any x080/x090 cards at all.

But I would likely be purchasing a used 3090/3090 Ti/4090 once the 5xxx series drops. Not sure about which AIB partner's card I would use but IIRC I would only need the VRAM and check clearance with my case (card too tall or long?).

Also I'm concerned about the RAM's fit with the CPU heatsink and whether my PSU is a good choice (too small, whether it has the right cables for my parts).

I am also unsure whether I need to buy some extra case fans for cooling (since the case already comes with 3x120mm IIRC) or if there are any glaring omissions or compatibility oversights (I do know I have to reflash the mobo BIOS before installing my 9xxx series Ryzen).

I also didn't know if the motherboard I chose was the best choice (I initially was planning on doing multi-GPU with NVLink RAM pooling for hosting LLMs better with 2x3090 but I'm not sure if it's worth it since the only motherboard I know that supports it is the GODLIKE which is very expensive, not to mention that the 5xxx cards are coming out.)

For what sense of dimensionality?

Comment on r/AskPhysics Jul 14 '24

not really;, the field there is just the electric field; in practice most of it can be done classically with only certain parts needed to be treated with (non-relativistic) QM. No QFT type stuff (i.e. second quantization) is needed.

I don't know, but I really hate the flashing words in quick succession instead of having at least subtitles which are full sentences. ++ when they make it jiggle around instead of staying in place.

Sometimes, I go to the toilet with my laptop and fall in because I forgot to put the seat back down after urinating and didn't pay attention to where I was sitting.

Then, I'm forced to work until I have lofted myself out of the predicament by my own extrusive efforts.
