Go up one level in this thread


Actually I have an engine somewhat ready now.. reason I didnt enter it this year
is because I *AM* spending a lot of time (and most of next year) writing highly
parallized code.

Yes there are supercomputers in Sweden. A friend of mine is the CEO of
Building31, who has a nice opteron cluster. (not sure of the # of nodes
offhand).


You main point was parallel coding.. I agree..
If 10 ppl where given Quad Xeons or Quad Opterons, and their code wasn't
parallized vs ppl who wrote parallel code. Yes I would expect the parallel
*CODE* to win.. and would hope so since they spent the time to make it like
that.

But that just brings me to my point. It's the CODE that wins.. not necessarily
the hardware.
