you are given to hyperbole. the massive domains I'm thinking of are cosmology and explicit quantum condensed-matter calculations. the experts in those fields I talk to both do use massive computation and do not expect much benefit from GPUs. > The number of algorithms that really profit bigtime from a lot of RAM, in > some cases you can also > replace by massive computation and a tad of memory, the cases where that > cannot be the case > are very rare. no. you are equating "uses lots of ram" with "uses memoization". > yet majority of HPC calculations, especially if we add company codes there, > the simulators and the oil, > gas, car and aviation industry. jeez. nevermind I said anything. I'd forgotten about your style. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
