This GPU database is also used by the latest GPU Caps Viewer. This database stores all possible (platform-dependent) GPU data (device IDs, clock speeds, temperature, drivers, etc.) as well as OpenGL and OpenCL information (extensions, version, etc.). The second feature is the possibility to submit scores to an online GPU database. GpuTest 0.7.0, Julia FP64 OpenGL 4.0 test – GeForce GT 650M – Mac OS X 10.9 I didn’t tested the FP64 demo on Intel GPUs. On AMD GPUs, the Julia FP64 test runs fine on Windows, has some trouble on Linux (tested with FGLRX drivers on Linux Mint 16), and does not work on OS X… On NVIDIA GPUs, the Julia FP64 test runs perfectly on all platforms (Windows, Linux and OS X 10.9). Some scores are available in this article. The Julia FP64 is limited to OpenGL 4.0 capable hardware and draws the Julia fractal using FP64 (fp64 = double precision floating point) variables. The Julia FP32 (fp32 = single precision floating point) test should run on any OpenGL 2 or OpenGL 3 capable hardware. The interesting thing is that the Julia fractal is available in two flavors: FP32 and FP64. The first one is a new OpenGL benchmark that draws the popular Julia fractal in a GLSL pixel shader. This update of GpuTest is available with two new features.

Cloudmounter date modifed wrong4/29/2023 ![]() ![]() CloudMounter now displays status icons in the Finder so users can see which files are in the queue, uploading/downloading, or had errors during the transfer. CloudMounter 3.2: Finder friendlyĮltima has done a bang-up job squashing initial bugs and enhancing overall functionality with subsequent releases. During testing, smaller files behave more reliably than larger ones. How fast transfers are made depends entirely on the speed of your internet connection. Eltima also offers a fully functional 15-day trial version for those who prefer to try before buying.Īfter installing CloudMounter and logging into one of the aforementioned accounts, your remote storage appears as a volume with a colorful icon on the desktop, which can be used to drag and drop files just like local hard drives. Not a bad deal, but if you’re the old school type who would rather buy once and own forever (or at least until the inevitable version 4.0 comes along) we’d recommend bypassing the Mac App Store and heading straight to the Eltima website to purchase a perpetual license for $44.99. Or you can pay $9.99 every three months or $29.99 annually for unlimited connections. You can download CloudMounter from the Mac App Store, which has the limitation mention above. If you want to access multiple cloud accounts or other services like Amazon S3, FTP/SFTP, WebDAV, or Box, you need to pay an additional fee. For starters, this ingenious menu bar utility is now free to download and use – as long as you can get by accessing a single Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive account, that is. Plenty has changed since we reviewed the original release of Eltima Software’s promising CloudMounter in 2016. CloudMounter 3.2: First one’s free, pay for more Be that as it may, applications like CloudMounter remain a worthwhile utility if you rely on cloud storage. Bandwidth is the principal concern, because even the speediest internet connections available to consumers aren’t nearly enough to transfer gigabyte-plus sized files as fast as attaching external hard drives to your Mac. Mounting cloud storage on the desktop is a great idea with a few inherent limitations built in. Year walk and subject4/29/2023 Walk To School Week links brilliantly with exploring nature.

Mortgage calculator refinance4/29/2023 ![]() Homeowners insurance: most homeowner policies cover things like loss of use, personal property within the home, dwelling & structural damage & liability. FHA & VA loans have different down payment & loan insurance requirements which are reflected in their monthly payments. Some home buyers take out a second mortgage to use as part of their downpayment on the first loan to help bypass PMI requirements. PMI is only required on conventional mortgages if they have a Loan-to-value (LTV) above 80%. PMI: Property mortgage insurance policies insure the lender gets paid if the borrower does not repay the loan. If property tax is set above 20 the calculator presumes the amount entered is the annual assessment amount. ![]() If property tax is 20 or below the calculator treats it as an annual assessment percentage based on the home's price. Real estate portals like Zillow, Trulia,, Redfin, & Movoto list current & historical property tax payments on many properties. One can't simply look at the old property tax payment on a home to determine what they will be on a forward basis, as the assessed value of the home & the effective rate may change over time. Those who rent ultimately pay this expense as part of their rent as it is reflected in their rental price. Property Tax: this is the local rate home owners are charged to pay for various municipal expenses. Extra payments applied directly to the principal early in the loan term can save many years off the life of the loan. If a home buyer opts for a 30-year loan, most of their early payments will go toward interest on the loan. The 30-year fixed-rate loan is the most common term in the United States, but as the economy has went through more frequent booms & busts this century it can make sense to purchase a smaller home with a 15-year mortgage. Loan Term: the number of years the loan is scheduled to be paid over. For your convenience we also publish current local mortgage rates. This calculator can help home buyers figure out if it makes sense to buy points to lower their rate of interest. If the buyer believes interest rates will fall or plans on moving in a few years then points are a less compelling option. In general discount points are a better value if the borrower intends to live in the home for an extended period of time & they expect interest rates to rise. ![]() In some cases a borrower may want to pay points to lower the effective interest rate. Interest Rate: this is the quoted APR a bank charges the borrower. If the loan amount is above 80% of the appraisal then PMI is required until the loan is paid off enough to where the Loan-to-value (LTV) is below 80%. Loan Amount: the amount a borrower is borrowing against the home. This is used in part to determine if property mortgage insurance (PMI) is needed. Home Value: the appraised value of a home.
