Full POWER
==========
AS you may know my main desktop workstation since about end of the 2019
is the Raptor Engineering Blackbird machine. The POWER9 (ppc64le)
monster. It is obvous that I often don't need all its power (it's
four-core, thus 16-thread machine with 32 GB of RAM).
Unlike the Logout [1] I sometimes (read: quite often) need a lot of
computational power. Usually to be able to do some computing. Like
yesterday: I not only tortured the CPU with crazy Gnuplot tasks but
also did some Finite Element Method computations. While there was still
some free RAM for a Firefox the CPU was occupied almost completely.
