Stop commercial SMS games!
Posted by zdravkos on 16 Oct 2009 | Tagged as: Tech
Tired from all those commercial SMS games you receive now and then from your mobile operator?! Happily if you are on Mobiltel AD, just send text “stop 500″ to 17867:
Me: stop 500
17867: Vashiyat otkaz ot poluchavane na reklamni saobshteniya za uslugata e priet.
17867: Vashiyat otkaz ot poluchavane na reklamni saobshteniya za uslugata e priet.
Edit: 500 is the name/code of the specific game. To stop others send their name/code.
OC day two

As I said I shall have any news about ATI Radeon HD 4770, I wouldn’t knew I will have to play with two of those. That’s right, I have setup two 4770 in cross-fire mode, but that’s not all of it – as a bonus a brand new AMD Phenom X2 II 550 BE is under the hood, bringing a huge increase of speed and cache compared to AMD 7750 BE (from 2MB to 6 MB L3 cache).
Check out the screenshot above. You can click on image to expand it. All is done on air-cooling. The CPU is OC from 3100 to 3511 MHz (+13.2%) without raising the voltage! And 4770 OC is quite limited by Catalyst Control Center from 750/800 to 800/850 MHz (+6%) which is nothing at all. The real potential of those cards is like 850/1100 MHz. To be continued…
ATI Stream – Finally, CUDA Has Competition!
Posted by zdravkos on 15 Jun 2009 | Tagged as: Tech
So is CUDA doing anything? You bet. There’s a 35% drop in output time with GPU acceleration enabled, so CUDA is plainly throwing everything it can at the job. But here’s the interesting part: AMD and Nvidia show essentially the same encode time in CPU-only mode, but Stream yields a 108% performance gain, easily trouncing the CUDA result while averaging 40% less CPU utilization than CUDA (read more).
