Don't have a super budget? You can still own a Cray supercomputer and unleash the proven technology and reliability of the industry leader. New entry level configurations and options allow you to configure the optimal balance of Price, Performance, Power and Footprint for your unique and exacting requirements.

Why would I want a Cray when I can build a Beowulf cluster out of old commodity hardware that will outperform it for a fraction of the cost?

But CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?!

affordably priced
Starting at just $200K

I wonder how much performance you could get if you built a cluster out of, say, all the hardware that was scrapped in 2010.

>>1 it would depend on how easy it is to parallelize the algorithm being performed. If no synchronization and communication is required, then it would take 1/n as long when running on n machines. So if you have a good idea of the number of machines and the average performance of the machines, then you could calculate it. There is still the energy cost of running all those computers. But if you live in a very cold climate you could use it as your heating system.

Modern super computers are just off-the-shelf opteron servers w/ fiber optic interconnects. I'd rather spend that 200k on a smartcard cluster and some prostitutes to cosplay as touhous.

10 pcs GA144s cost $200, each chip with 100,000 integer operations per second.
Proven at a Petaflop

who needs FLOPS anyway?
200 goes in 200,000 how many times?

starting costs
right

that was million integer operations

The only meaningful performance measure is tripcodes/second. My commodity cluster gets 12.3 billion. How much does a $200,000 Cray get?

cost per flop makes an interesting metric.

My quantum computer can execute aleph null operations per second. It can transform an MD5 hash back into the original file. You jelly?

I'd like to see /prog/ with some sort of communal supercomputer. What would you do with it?

There are many files corresponding to one MD5 hash.

It simulates a perfect copy of this universe and then just finds where the hash came from and reads you the original.

whoa.................

1. Find computer that originally transmitted the file.
2. Take a full quantum scan of the computer's state at the current moment.
3. Apply the predecessor function until time has back tracked to when the file existed in plain text.
4. Read the file.
