Playing around with RAM drives is fun. I've done it a few times lol

Back in my day, we called those cheats.

That's cheap compared to the current RAM prices. (I mean, obviously not if we compare actual storage size to dollars, but physical DIMMs and their use per se)

Not sure I'd call running DOS games "simple" lol

They need to just start shipping those high end GPUs with mini nuclear reactors in them. No more melting of connectors then. ...notice I didn't say no more melting cleanly. LOL

I don't recall ever playing any DOS games. By the time I got a PC towards the end of 1999, the only game I played was mostly just Unreal Tournament.

Thanks for the stats. I should note that I am working on getting FAH back on Free-DC. ;)

The merged data is the total BOINC credits across all the projects. Having the application do this, on the fly every time totaling all these will just move the computation to the web server which would then definitely get overwhelmed with the number of bots that have grown exponentially over the...

I'm not, todays total gets moved to the "yesterdays" column at the end of the day. The only thing that gets updated is the current update. That gets added to the todays total. The historical data doesn't get updated, it just gets moved to the appropriate location. IE: Todays total gets moved to...

MariaDB (and most other database engines) can already run multiple parallel jobs concurrently without a problem. My dual database design already solves the biggest problem with tables being locked during updates. While that database has its tables locked for updates, the other database is free...

Correct. That is how I get the totals for the current update, the days total, yesterdays total, week total, etc... This is done for each user, host and team.

Not sure how that would help. There are already two databases that flip/flop depending on what its doing. While one database is being updated, the other one is being read from the web server. When the update is complete, the flip. The one that just got updated is now being read from the web...
