HPC a future cottage industry?
Now I can see a change coming. I know a guy, who is going
into business by himself. He has built (with little help) a box under his desk with 4 Magny Cours, 128 GB RAM and 28 TB of raid (plus a SSD of 256 GB). This would be sufficient to run small projects. He claimed it has faster throughput than the industry-standard "Mainframe" as he snidely calls them. Do you think this could catch on? Not as storage (i read this in comp.storage). Catch on how? Would he ship these boxes? I expect others already do. Rent out time like a mainframe? Likely to get mainframe-like throughput. -- mac the naïf |
