This is going to be an exascale issue. i.e. how to compute on a systems whose parts might be in a constant state of breaking. An other interesting question is how do you know you are getting the right answer on a *really* large system? Of course I spend much of my time optimizing really small systems. -- Doug -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ 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
