I may have to add the "to achieve the maximum performance possible on a particular computational task" to my definition. I like it. It makes a distinction between an old slow laptop with bloatware and viruses on and one that, you know, is actually getting work done. -- One might consider Matlab in its recent incarnations as bloatware (300 MB runtime system!) _______________________________________________ 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
