Gowator Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 It depends on the actual tasks.... A lot of pure processing stuff at work uses large clusters ... its not exactly openOffice but I bet it would open pretty quick!!!! Someone should invent a home seti thing.... so you can use older PC's and set them to background tasks.... Some stuff like video ripping and audio already have started...what would be really cool is being able to move a running process and its memory onto a different processor. Incredibly hard to do in real life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 A more traditional design from Cray, to be built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is expected to reach 50 teraflops. And Blue Gene/L, a hybrid between exotic designs and more standard clusters at the Livermore lab, is expected to reach 360 teraflops in 2005. At that speed, IBM says it is confident its machine will be the fastest in the world. That is some scary flops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
