What was/is port 2381 compaq-https used for?

What was/is port 2381 compaq-https used for? Just curious in how this differs from the standard https protocol or whether it is some higher-level protocol bridged over https. -- Q Chris (talk) 10:14, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Pals Tamil dictionary font

I am using Pals Tamil e-Dictionary (old version) in windows 10. But the font was not properly installed. So I couldn't type the words. How can I install the font or find the name of the font? Please help thank you.2402:4000:2083:D9F:4C50:A12B:D4EB:AC14 (talk) 15:56, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Cache on i5 and i7

Looking at typical Sandy Bridge i5 (4 cores) and i7 (4 cores hyperthreaded), both have 64KB of L1 cache per core and 256KB of L2 cache per core. The i5 has 6MB of L3 cache shared and the i7 has 8MB of L3 cache, shared. How does this affect hyperthreading on the i7? The two threads on a core have to share its L1 and L2 caches whereas the i5 core gets all of it. And if you are running 8 threads on the i7, you have only 1MB of L3 cache per thread on the i7 versus 1.5MB per thread on the i5. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 20:51, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
