Not everything is floating point, right? It'll be about $4,000 per pci card. I just find it hard to beleive that four processors that does WAY more floating point than anything in our desktops fits on a pci card and has enough bandwidth. Even if it was pci express, I would not beleive that it needed only that bandwidth.

Maybe we could all chip in for one and make it to #1.

ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh keep this quiet we don't need NIK seeing that....imagine it now he'll buy like 6 pci cards for each of his farm's layers.
he'll be the single person responsible for the great blackout of the west.

How do terflops convert into Gigahertz?

I think it is 1000Ghz=1 terflops but I could be wrong. I am just thinking that 1000GB=1TB so it might relate.

It has nothing to do with its MHz speed. Measuring in flops is one way that you can actually compare AMD to Intel. I am not sure what a P4 or an Athlon XP do in flops though.
FLOPS is a rating of speed - floating point operations per second.
Looks kewl - but $25,000 was the figure for a 4-card system - so it'd be about $6,250 per card.
Don't forget, Flix, that 150 Bartons will take up a buttload of room, a buttload of power, and you could cook dinner with them... OR you could stick a PCI card in your rig, and watch WU's process every other minute

If I'm reading their product overview right, each chip is only 500mhz (I think). It requires 2w @200mhz, performs 10 GFLOPS per watt and performs 25.6 GFLOPS overall. I think that equal 500mhz but I've been up too long to really think about it in great detail. If that's right and they're only 500mhz each, to me that makes their FLOPS numbers that much more impressive.

Looks like I have much to learn.
