Go up one level in this thread


I think i'd rather have the pSeries 690 or a Fijitzu Seimens .....

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/pseries/hardware/datactr/p690.html

with a 32 way 1.3 Power 4  which is like a Athlon clocked at 2.95Ghz
so maybe 66.9Ghz  but when more programs for clusters come out then the sky is
the limit  the #1 on the top 500 is a 8,192 x375Mhz  Cluster or 3Thz .
 When you think about it if Deep Blue was more like Hiarcs as far as how many
nodes it would get if it were on a PC  it was 7 levels (ply ) (2.187Thz) or if
it is more like Fritz   5 Ply (243Ghz)  Maybe someone with better details could
say how fast processor wise DB was.

at 2 million i think i'm gonna have to wait untill i retire before i can get one
