But the program is still calculating and don't think it's going to finish, without (too much)error's! This is really complicated, siggghhhhhh . . . ID: 757258 ·

How difficult would it be to set up a 4 board box? - 4 CPU's, 4 Sets of RAM, probably 4 PSU's, probably need 4 HDD, what about video? I guess they already have blade systems........ ID: 757260 ·

To make it even better, with their 12+ Mb of L2 cache, they should also support an updated version of hyperthreading. I want to specify and build a [b]dual V16 Xeon system with HT on each core[b]. This should give me 32 active cores, and the equivalent of 32 ghost HT cores. It will use the Intel version of hypertransport (no Northbridge or FSB), so the cores can all be fed well and there is no data bandwidth restrictions. It would also make use of about 16Mb of DDR3 RAM. Cost an arm and leg, but it should shift the WUs, and the RAC (when settled) should be stupendous. Not sure what the power demand will look like though! The plan is this can give me the excuse to retire my dual P3 with RAID-1. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 757307 ·
