Be prepared to replace the power supply on that after about 6 months (speaking from experience and many google searches). |

It's currently all about the IBM Blue Gene/L with a theoretical peak performance of 360 TFLOPS
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/deepc...g/bluegene.html
The Blue Gene/P out in 2006 will do over 1 petaflops! (1 quadrillion floating-point operations per second) :eyes: :eyes:

No, actually - but that's besides the point anyway. People buy these types of machines for media production because there is no equivalent software available for PC (or the PC version has been "dumbed down").
But really... who cares? I could spec out a $150,000 8-way server if I wanted to, but so what?
Dude, it doesn't work that way. :rolleyes: |
