combjelly re: The NAMD runs done last summer, for example, would've taken 15 years on a single processor. wow, but the real question is how long it would take to process that on a new cluster without changing basic algorithms. One of my friends outperformed NASA cray in modeling Navier-Stokes eq. by a factor of 160,000 on his pentium 150 by simply changing algorithms. There were a number of interesting articles published about that experiment few years back. Look it up under wavelets and Navier-Stokes Regards -Albert

Combjelly, Re: "Well, great! Now we know that Intel has sold at least 320 Itaniums..." At least 320 more Itaniums than Hammers. And counting.... wanna_bmw

Well, great! Now we know that Intel has sold at least 320 Itaniums... Not necessarily. That is a research foundation. It could equally well be the case that Intel thought that donating the processors would be good PR.
