I see...
Anyway, I'm downloading the Crysis demo. Want to see what all the fuss is about.

I honestly don't give two sh*ts about Crysis, all I know is that it is something of a computer-killer and makes for a convenient Internet meme. That, and "Will it blend?" but I don't think this super computer is going to fit in a standard tabletop blender...The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

Crysis is a pretty game but horribly inefficiently coded.
Other games achieve 90% of the visual quality of Crysis with 200-400% of the performance."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

That's what I kind of figured. Games like Far Cry 2, Assassin's Creed, etc. are very nice to look at but also run very smoothly. I can't imagine Crysis looking much better than those games because they look pretty damn good already. Probably right about the 90% thing."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

That picture pretty much says it all. I don't think the US has anything to fear when it comes to having the biggest and most super computers.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

If you looked at the trend, you may think otherwise."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I'm standing next to a supercomputer right nowIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I used to have full access to BlueGene/L and ASCI Purple back when they were #1/#2 in the world.
Worked on compiler optimization on them."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I should probably clarify that the supercomputer in question is a Cray SV1 and is currently disabled because we need its power outlets for our new Core i7 cluster and donated-by-Northrop Grumman 70 node itanium cluster.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I don't think the SV1s are fast today. They're 11-12 years old."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

That was my point. The core i7's and itaniums are pretty fast though, especially considering that they are hooked up with infiniband.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

What would you guys ever do with them?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

We have parallel computing (used to be called supercomputing) classes so we bought the i7's to replace the Cray. Then Northrop Grumman donated their cluster that they didn't need anymore (it's apparently not quite fast enough for them). So in terms of curing cancer or building ships, nothing really but we do use them for classes.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
