Evening We focus on single precision, cause that's what we run. Seismic data is collected at less than single precision so not a lot of point at processing it to higher standards. We have several machines at or over 20PFlops (single precision) and have never run linpack. It doesn't make money.

Stu, congratulations on that project. There must have been an enormous amount of effort behind the scenes there. Wish I could be helping with it! I am slightly intrigued by the emphasis on single precision FLOPS. Is that because the codes run with single precision, or is it that you find this a go
