Beyond that, building an entire cluster of that size into a large

proper machining expertise. But then again if your building a cluster

My office started using Suns in 1985; our first system
was a loaner Sun 2/120 (Multibus), and the first system
we bought was a 2/130 (VME). We stuck with Sun hardware
(SPARC-based from the time that such was available)
and SunOS all the way through 2003, at which point we
were simply unable to cont

Back in 1996-1997, Wright State University had about six Windows 95

The windows labs were always almost completely vacant. The mac lab
usually had one or two people in it.
And, around 3AM, you MIGHT be able to find an open seat in the Sun lab.

I built this last night on a Mythbuntu 8.10 system with an 8400 GS card,
and Nvidia driver 180.41. Used the cuda 2.1 toolkit for Ubuntu 8.04
(seemed like the closest match). There were a few warnings at compilation.
