Seems like biggest challenge would be partitioning the dataset to fit into video/agp memory space.
In general you probably have to express your molecules as bunch of screen aligned textures with floating point data (one texel/pixel - one molecule). Your antibodies as full screen quads and their properties as vertex attributes. Then rendering fullscreen quad you perform test one antibody against all molecules. You write out test results to render target and use it as input for further processing.
Treat R300 as 8 vector (SIMD) processor performing the same operation on data feed from streams (up to 16 different 128bit textures) and writing it back to up to 4 128bit render targets for processing in next pass.
Why do you want to read it back? For rendering usually you want to see it. For offline rendering of complicated stuff readback time will be neglible compared to rendering time. For some calculation you sometimes get result which is not that big and easy to read back. Last, you can always render or blit last pass of your processing to render target in AGP space and read as fast as from sysmem (rendering will be much slower though).
You can do fast floating point scalar, 3 and 4 component vector processing on R300 class GPU. You have to represent your data as textures and vertex streams. Look at ARB vertex program and fragment program specs to see if it can be any use for you. http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/regis try/
Modern GPU like R300 is very fast SIMD machine with great memory bandwidth. At last SIGGRAPH it was demonstrated doing realtime raytracing. You can harness its power to do video decoding, encoding and postprocessing or image filters. Audio processing seems doable too. I can also imagine you could use it for physical simulations. Its uses are unlimited.
Is the only thing worth buying. And till I have money for VAIO I picked up used Toshiba Portege 3480CT on ebay. It is a good piece of hardware with good linux support - currently running Gentoo.
It started couple days ago. I have yahoo email address so defending from it is not easy. Fortunately most bounces come from postmaster@ or mailer-daemon@ and I set up filter on yahoo for that. So the only stuff I receive now are vacation notices and threats. Does anyone have any idea how to stop it? I cannot close email account because I have too much stuff linked to it.
For $20 Netflix subscription I watch all the movies I want without commercials. It is two times cheaper than cable and no ads:) I dont need news, I have enough of my own problems to hear about other people problems and there is always CNN.com.
Of course Sarah Gordon at Symantec doesnt need any wirus code posted on the net. She already has whole virus database at Symantec. By making code and live virii unavailable to us they only prevent creation of competing anti-virus programs and force us to buy their shit. I have been hit by (DOS) virii twice. I just debugged little suckers and wrote my own scanner/disinfector. Btw I have never received any email virus at my private email address and lots of them at work. What does it say about my friends and coworkers?:)
In one company I worked for we used Perforce and checkin token file. Only the person who had the token was allowed to check in, also he had to smoke test the project before releasing the token. We also had a tradition of adding haikus to the checkin token file. You can read them in one of easter eggs:)
Mars Distance from Earth
Minimum (10^6 km) 54.5
Maximum (10^6 km) 401.3
at 10m/s^2 acceleration/decelaration
whole journey would take 42 hours minimum
112 hours maximum
top speed would be 734km/s at minimum distance
or 2000km/s at maximum distance

hey dude
i work at Frontpath and bike to work on $120 chinese bike every day.
The Gathering, The Party, Assembly and other parties are not about fragging each other. They are demo scene parties. They are about taking part in demo/intro/art/music compos, meeting in person people from #coders:). There are other activities on parties, like swapping demos (and shitload of other software), boozing, playing multiplayer games, throwing harddisks and floppies, breaking motherboards. If you want to know more about demo scene wisit www.hornet.org
Being student is sometimes fun. In college you meet new people. Find a girlfriend:) Have parties. Do everything stupid you cant do in "grown up" life. And most important you have chance to explore anything you want in science, instead of coding what you boss told you to.

Of course it is a bit beyond budget of an average gamer.

Its happening to me too and I dont think Klez would run in Sylpheed on Linux :)

Debian-mips works fine on my Indy. Indigo 2 and O2(R5000) are supported too but only with serial console.
12272 km / 13 seconds = 944km/s :)
the question now is how fat the pipe has to be
to beat the speed of light ?
So we all should pay for it. If it werent for
NASA we wouldnt have stuff like satellite TV,
some materials, drugs, foods and technologies.
People who do not want to pay for NASA shouldnt
be allowed to board escape spaceships when giant
meteor will be heading for Earth.

Internet is not part of any "research".
You can use internet for "search".
"Research" is new things you invent or discover yourself.

This is product for vertical markets (not for home). And the price IS competitive if you compare with japanese tablet PCs.
it has USB port
you just plug in USB keyboard and mouse

It is demo scene party. It is about art and demo competitions. (Although there are some gaming events too) and everyone plays games on parties.
