that is a nice Seti Farm

[SirUlli]

but this is nice

562 x Dual Core Opteron 265 :shocked:

it has a really goot output....

hehehe. That's sexy.

suddenly I don't feel that proud of my 2 crunchers...

Holy mother of God! :Q

Screw that. I'm proud of my dual Xeons, because I paid for them, and they are mine, and I can do whatever I want with them. The SETI farm is sexy, but it could never be home.

 

[Wolfsraider]

I think he should donate all his processing power to me for just 1 day!!!

That would make my whole year lol

 

[Dalephi]

Nice!!!

I did notice one Intel Xeon in the middle of all those Opterons. Must be a really lonely computer.

 

[CupCak3]

that is honestly sick




and to think, our taxdollars probably paid for most of those boxes

Not "probably"... 'and to think, our taxdollars did paid for most of those boxes'.

I should get around to doing my taxes

Methinks there might be something fishy about that farm - like it's VMWare or the like with a couple dozen virtual machines running on just one or two actually machines.

 

[ProviaFan]

<-- hugs his one lowly Athlon X2...

 

[Pokey]

That is impressive...................wonder if they would miss one? :evil:

I highly doubt it.... Fermi's work requires MASSIVE amounts of computing power and who better to pay for the research than the government (though I'm sure there are a decent bit of private donations) Don't get me wrong, the work they do is amazing but the whole concept of over 2 million dollars of computing power running seti shocks me a bit (and also hints of jealously that i can't have some of that powah )

 

[scoser]

Well, I'm assuming by burnin that they're only running these temporarily to torture test the machines.

 

[DaFinn]

OMG, what is that one 3Ghz Intel doing there :Q??? Blasphemy!!!

It's the one keeping all the underlings in line. :laugh:

FermiLab Burn In Farm

Don't think these will be running Seti their whole life.

 

[JWMiddleton]

I was a bit surprised at the benchmark results of these buggers.

Operton 265

Measured floating point speed 893.55 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 1765.59 million ops/sec

My P3-1000

Measured floating point speed 1030.61 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 2639.69 million ops/sec

My first guess is that they are not using an optimized client. I suppose that with over 500 of em who cares!

Yeah, if you look you'll see that most of the rigs never sent in a completed WU...

 

[Assimilator1]

Man are all those Opterons for real?!:shocked:

There is nothing like putting holes for a mod in a $600 case. Nothing. Because it's yours, and you can do that. :laugh:

 

[Assimilator1]

$600!!?:Q ,is it made of Silver or Titanium?

Nope. Just plain old steel. Except for the wheel. But they are sturdy enough for the wife and me to roll around across our tile floored living room when we were moving in. One at a time, of course.
