BRAG: Just got this rig for work
2 QUAD core Xeons
512 MB ATI video card 8 GB RAM Dual 500 GB HDs setup in RAID 1 Needless to say XP 64 bit boots in like a nano second [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |

Re: BRAG: Just got this rig for work
I've been using one for a year and a half (except two 300 GBs). EMT64 Red Hat boots up pretty quickly. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
EDIT: Didn't see quad cores. I've only got dual. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

Dual octo cores on the next order baby!!!!

I regularly use a 400 node cluster, ranked as high as 329th on the top500 list at one point. What kind of work do you do?

Re: BRAG: Just got this rig for work
do you really need that much ram?

Re: BRAG: Just got this rig for work
This box was for compiling and running mathematical simulations using a product called MatLab. That much RAM is overkill at the current moment, but it won't be for long. I say 4 GB will be standard in the workplace in 3 or 4 years.
My company has a philosophy of buy too much now so we don't have to buy again in 2 years. It also allows them to "pass down" very good equipment to other employees. I'm the assistant network administrator, so I don't use this box, I just set it up. I can't stand math. I have to stick with my personal workstation with 2 dual core 3 Ghz Xeons, 5 GB RAM and dual 300 GB HDs. Running Vista 64 bit Ultimate [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Why do people waste so much computer power running simulations with Matlab? As far as I know, Mathworks hasn't even released their multiprocessor of it yet, making dual quad cores a retarded amount of overkill. Tell you mathematicians to learn a real language (C, fortran) and MPI, it'll save them so much time. And no, 8 gigs is not overkill for (some) mathematical modeling. I could easily jam that up with a couple programs I have. |
