@northernsands - now i see where you get your hate for P4 single cores from ;)

 

Absolutely! The problems we had with them! Grrrr! To be fair, a lot of the schools that had these shoved them under desks and left them there for years, regardless if building work was going on around them or not! (sorry, overdoing the exclamation marks) They ran slowly at the best of times, but because dust blocked up the HSFs the CPUs would over-heat and then start throttling to keep running (90 degrees C or more for weeks on end), slowing them down even more. It could be some considerable time like that before it would overheat enough to shut down. Then we were called out. I'd get very strange looks from teachers as I stood outside in a grey cloud, blowing into Heat-sinks, fans, motherboards etc. I'd turn up in a nice clean suit, then leave completely covered in dust and dead spiders. We went through a fair amount of thermal paste and re-conditioned fans, too.

 

The worst case had a colony of Silverfish living underneath!

 

The nightmares!

 

Sorry, a tad OT...

For those not in the know..

 

Merlin is a version of RM learning platform created for SWGFL. It has number of tools including the standard learning platform from RM plus number of third party tools integrated into it.

 

The parent reporting brings in things from VLE (RM own custom code not sharepoint), MIS data and few other bits and bobs..

Merlin is a lot more than just a custom version of RM Kaleidos LP.

Merlin is a SIF based project that provide an SSO identity, access to Kaleidos (more but i cant remember what else)

The identify is shibboleth based allowing suppliers to integrate there shib enabled products.
