Me neither, but there's always hope that http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adapteva/parallella-a-supercomputer-for-everyone will deliver something useful early next year. 32 bit floats are quite enough for me. > So how about letting the ARM core deal with I/O and adding a dedicated > computing unit in form of FPGA ?

It's a dedicated system to store and reprocess a very large voxelset. It's basically making a sea of smarter spindles. Their result would be processable on a classical cluster, though. _______________________________________________ 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
