Benchmark room
-
My suggestion is CodeProject to have a room for benchmarking, meaning at least one guy (either from CP or a member) to offer to fellow members some assistance in computing/benchmarking some code. Guys lacking computational power X| or wanting to see how a particular code/function is gonna perform on some newer, more expensive machine (in my case Intel 6700K) will benefit such a FAVOR! Imagine, a CodeProject fast machine used as a tool to improve the performance of some project - a real help it would be! :laugh: In my case I need some 3 hours of single-threaded 6700K|5960x running my latest decompressor Goldenboy.

I like this idea, also beside "borrowing" the computing power a thing that I would find interesting is environment testing (these are two main reasons why I usually ask such a favour to my colleagues). So for example instead of hassling and maintaining multiple VMs, one could just ask if anyone could run something on some specified environment.

Glad that you like it, one dozen of guys helped me in benchmarking (and thus improving) my C etudes, having only two old laptops (Core 2) limits a lot my testing :mad: I feel overusing their good will, so a "dedicated" room will serve well avoiding the constant need for favors. Not everyone can save money in this nasty worldwide economic crisis for a new toy.
