Intro It's been a while since we've posted a consumer platform build for working with solvers. AMD's Zen architecture was initially released in March of 2017, with Zen+ being released in April of 2018, so plenty of time has passed…
In our previous Threadripper 2 build we recommended to build your Threadripper 2 system with AMD's 2950X CPU. At the time this article was written, professional system testers had benchmarked the two CPUs against each other and determined that no…
Update 24.09.19: Confirmed working for Debian 10In the previous version of our article, we demonstrated how to setup a Contabo server using the Debian 9 Linux distro in order to run Monkersolver, without having to pay for the cost of…
Building off of our previous Threadripper build post, here is an updated build for AMD's Threadripper platform, with one of their newly released Threadripper 2 CPUs. Threadripper 2 brings peformance gains of around 10% to the platform over previous generation…
Disclaimer (16.09.18): This article is currently under review. At this time, we would not recommend using this build to run the solver under macOS due to concerns over system stability. Linux or Windows is a better option here. Intro In part…
If you followed our guide on how to setup Monkersolver using Contabo and Debian linux, you may have noticed that you can not simply copy-paste text between your local desktop and remote server. In this guide we will show you…
If you are running VNC through Debian (Linux) on a server in order to have access to a graphical user interface, then you may encounter the error 'Too many authentication failures'. If this is the case, you will not be…
Usually when people recommend AMD for building a server workstation, their first thought goes to the Threadripper (TR4) platform. The TR4 platform offers fast clock speeds and many cores at a reasonable price point, however it is restrictive in…
Sometimes setting up simulations with Monkersolver might not go as smoothly as you might expect. You might not be able to run a simulation with the RAM you had budgeted for it, or you might actually need a lot less…
Looking for a computer to run Monkersolver on? Do you have 10,000$ to spare? If you answered 'yes' to both questions then look no further, because Apple has a solution for you! All joking aside, we are not looking at…
