gridMathematica Announced

Posted by chrisd on from the comdex-paradox dept.

simpl3x writes "Mathematica for grids was announced at Comdex. It offers support for the usual platforms--Windows, OS X, Linux, and Unix--and offers the ability to use heterogeneous OSes. I haven't used the product in years, but cool nonetheless. Does an off-the-shelf software package, which is scalable as this is provide competition to custom packages--is it easier to add machines than develop custom programs?" And just when you thought Comdex was good and dead.

    No matter how much horsepower I put behind Mathematica, it still gives me errors when I divide by zero. My employer didn't spend zillions of dollars on SGI Origins just to get errors. Can't Wolfram include some sort of Clippy helper? /sarcasm

    No, but if you scale up enough, it can emulate a cellular automaton using the Universe ...

    For mathematical modeling I use:

    Mathematica

    LPL

    AMPL

    I code it all myself in assembler, thank you very much!

    Fingers and toes

    Another method
