what do they do, just put several motherboards in one box? kinda tricky way to multiprocess. wonder how it compares to smp computing.

Even a broken watch is right twice a day...

yes, like I said, a Beowulf in a box.
There's nothing tricky about it,
clusters have been done for ages.
they're not as fast (per cpu) as smp
but a hell of alot cheaper.
i.e. a teraflop supercomputer will set you back around 5 million,
a teraflop cluster will cost 300,000

If you went to the trouble of making a Supercomputer, why would you call it Teraflop?, sounds like a gigantic flop

So what exactly are you planning to do with one of these Beowulf clusters if you do buy/build one of them Grizely?
You going to pass us all by in S@H? What exactly do you have going on?

Because by some odd twist of humor, somebody chose FLOP as the acronym for "(F)(L)oating point (O)(P)erations per second."

If you've ever heard of the programming language SNOBOL [(S)tri(N)g (O)riented sym(B)(O)lic (L)anguage], you'll realize that we computer geeks tend to crack the worst jokes of all time. :wink:
