10-TFlop Computer Built from Standard PC Parts

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the economic-supercomputing dept.

OrangeTide writes "Using PCI host adapters and Xeon processors, engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Labs have achieved 10-TFlops relatively cheaply. More information can be obtained from this article at EETimes." Lately, Linux seems to be the operating system of choice for new supercomputers, and this one's no different. It's cool to see big iron made cheaply.

    If you would supply me with contact information, maybe we could discuss this. I feel that moderators should not doubt he facts supplied by the submitters, but rather value the information as if it is true.

    I think that it is nice to see moderators yelling, flaming and behaving generally bad (yes, I mean that you do that). Tell me who you are and we can have a discussion concerning me working or not.

    As for your comments about my employment. I have not said that the company I work for is "Extremely Important(tm)", I just said that we have needs for lagre computations and have invested in a Linux-based system. I am not " karma whoring by spouting bullshit", if you do not like my comments, simply mark me as a foe, and add -2 to my comments, do not mod me down simply because you have problems trusting people!
