Sad.

I bought a new laptop last month. I don't remember doing a press release for it though.

[Paddy]

You can find official press release here.

Congratulations however, you could make better money by using the servers to run a Web-cam site and hiring some Eastern European Girls

Congrats AtW. The specs look very impressive. I havent had the opportunity to look at a super computer so I am not sure if your achievement deserves high merit but nevertheless that is a good show.

Ignore the usual juvenile comments about grammar and spelling.

[SupremeSpod]

Oi AtW, I piss on your super-computer, I've got an absolutely-brilliant-computer at home!

[HairyArsedBloke]

Nice one AtW.


I could do with some kit like that. However, just what it would do for the remaining 23 hours, 59 min and 59 seconds of the day I do not know.

hey Alexey,

have you installed network doom on there yet ?

Milan.

Ignore the usual juvenile comments about grammar and spelling.

So you think it's juvenile to insist on correct grammar and spelling on an official press release?
You cretins make me laugh.

The new cluster boasts almost 1TB of RAM, and a raw Hard Drive capacity of 300TB. It is built on the new six core Intel Xeon X5670 (2.93 Ghz) Processors.

The Cluster runs bespoke software, which will enable Majestic to increase the speed of production of its Trillion-Scale Backlinks index – which Majestic believe is the largest publicly available index of its type.

Each node in the 12 node Cluster was tested with Intel Linpack benchmark to produce in excess of 130 GFLOPS each with total processing capacity in excess of 1.5 TFLOPs.



PlayStation 3 hardware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The PS3 uses the Cell microprocessor, which is made up of one 3.2 GHz PowerPC-based "Power Processing Element" (PPE) and six accessible Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). A seventh runs in a special mode and is dedicated to aspects of the OS and security, and an eighth is a spare to improve production yields. PlayStation 3's Cell CPU achieves 204 GFLOPS single precision float and 15 GFLOPS double precision.



So about the same as 5 playstations then?

Shush!

Girly thinks we're getting a PS3 because it plays Blu-Ray disks...

Did you build it yourself?

Is it actually a cluster or just 12 computers in the same room?

Have you run linpack on the entire cluster or just the individual nodes?

Does your web analysis actually use floating point arithmetic?
