Re: Cray baby super computer

Starting from $38,999... ouch! It must have some serious cooling in it. It would take some serious work (read profitable) to justify such a purchase! If I ever won the lottery, that'd be high on my list! I wonder how many work units/point per day it could turn out with the present client programs. ...

I can't believe that the older CPUs, running at the same speed, would run as fast as the new ones -- ie. get same PPD. :!:

Re: 256 core server courtesy of IBM

Unless I'm terribly mis-understanding the Supermicro pricing, you can build a 4-way 48-core Magny-cours box for maybe $15,000 Actually, I figure you can build a 4 x AMD 6176 SE (48 Core @ 2.3 Ghz) box for $10,000 USD. Assuming a 42U rack, and dedicating 6U to networking and console servers, you cou...

Re: HFM.NET - Client Monitoring Application for Folding@Home

See Issue 29: http://code.google.com/p/hfm-net/issues/detail?id=29 This functionality (or really a synopsis there of) is going to supersede the current CompletedUnits.csv file.

Possibly you are being affected by the "early fail" problem that is being experienced, in part, by OSX 10.6.3 users that are running with the v2.17 a3core on smp WUs. This has been recognized by PG as a problem and a correction is in process. It seems that was the problem, I just tried ag...
