I'm utilizing it now. I'm actually pretty impressed at how well the
machine is still functioning even with all cores working on jobs. I
can still browse the web, write this email, tail various logs, compiz
effects still look nice, etc. When I tried to run everything like this
before --Run CPU and GPU while in use, use 100 percent of resources--
the computer became unresponsive to everything except
Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-REISUB. I'm guessing that the RAM limits are preventing
that from happening, as well as some of the tweaks in the init script
in the schedule() function.

However, I don't see how this tests idle detection. Is the theory that
the scheduling tweaks negate the need to detect idle time? So far, the
machine is still doing pretty well. I haven't checked any GPU jobs to
see if they're getting computation errors, but the CPU jobs all seem
to be completing just fine.

Cheers,
Preston Maness
