Los Alamos $200+ Million, 30TeraOPS Project

And its name is "Q". Now there is a computer that will run you broke. I think Hooz is working on his own super computer in his new underground bunker. The U.S. Department of Energy is putting together "The Worlds Fastest and Most Powerful Supercomputer" (wonder how long that will be top dog). Well this monster will be using about 12,000 1.25Ghz Alpha processors. That puppy should be able to pump out the RC5 blocks like there is no tomorrow. Well enough of my mindless banter go read the article here.
Q will consist initially of approximately 375 AlphaServer GS320 systems (approximately 12,000 Alpha processors) with EV68 CPUs running in excess of 1,250 MHz on Compaq's Tru64 UNIX operating system. Almost the size of five basketball courts (in excess of 21,000 square feet), the supercomputer will be coupled together with more than 6,000 fiber and copper cables, will have more than 600 terabytes of Compaq StorageWorks Modular Array storage systems

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
