Needs more fan.
I need around tree fiddy.
see, WHY is that nessecary
it would be smarter to buy just a ton of cheaper cards, like 6 series or something and make them F@H
although you'd need a good mobo

Well then you wouldn't get so many points per day. Its hard already to implement 8 GFX cards into a system and you are saying they should implement even more cheaper cards.Acreta wrote:

First of all, only the 8 series is CUDA enabled, second, a 9800GX2 has many times the processing power of even a 7900GTX when it comes to CUDA applications. I don't mean twice, trice, or five times the power. We're talking 20-30 times the power. The GX2 is _THE_ most powerful GPGPU in the world.Acreta wrote:

Also, those "cheaper" cards you're talking about, are actually very expensive, due to the lack of supplies.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I'd be willing to bet this has something to do with making a very budget friendly supercomputer using nVidia's CUDA technology. Something similar was done at a different university. I can't remember the exact name of the other university, but this is not the first time this has been done. They were using it to reconstruct medical imaging of scans of the human body (if I remember correctly).
In any event, they aren't using the cards to game, or for any sort of crazy graphics performance. Rather, they're using these gpu's as a way to get a tremendous amount of parallel processing power.
Edit: Also, if anyone has any doubts.

interested in cluster based computing, look up Beowulf which allows you to do multiprocessing on different computers over a network. at my university back in the mid nineties there was a research project where they had a rack system of say 16 blades. they were able to connect these together using different ethernet topologies to simulate various supercomputer architectures. eg: 3d mesh, torus, hypercube, etc. different topologies lend themselves better to solving certain problems than others. i believe a problem with this scheme is that you are severely hampered by network bandwidth in some cases. of course you can look at using optical networks of connections which scale much better. fortunately we were also researching that at the school as well.

That your posting style (Tons of question/exclamation marks, no grammar, all caps) is annoying. It makes your posts look so... Aggressive.Richard2000 wrote:

A word of advice, cool it down a bit. I've seen people get banned for less.

Not needed, its not practical and it doesnt even look like a computer.
No thanks, i would honestly have my pc over that one.

Compare to a real super computer.
