Go AMD!

 

[slomo4sho]

Definitely impressive.

 

[kracker]

Indeed. Very impressive.

 

[ojas]

No mention of how many thousand songs can be stored based on an arbitrary size of song and bit-rate?

 

[bartosz trzaska]

wise move to go with AMD cpu's ,at least they wont have hedache with sockets when next gen cpu come out :>

 

[SlitWeaver]

In case TITAN wasn't super enough.

 

[vertigo_2000]

Can I order one of these through newegg? Anyone know? Anyone?

 

[TheBigTroll]

if they used the newer intel xeons it would have been even faster, but then the titan was upgraded from a previous setup with amd boards. way to save money there

 

[merikafyeah]

Who foots the bill for these things again?

 

[weierstrass]

What does it cost to run it for one day?

 

[TheBigTroll]

What does it cost to run it for one day?

not sure about 1 day but it costs from what i know 9 mill for a year

Finally a server that can handle all the internet p0rn load by itself.

 

[Mark Wroblewski]

No meat regarding the storage system. One assumes it's totally flash-based, but going to DDN's website only reveals datasheets describing storage systems which can mix any of 3.5, 2.5 hdd and ssd. Anyone have details?

 

[Mark Wroblewski]

Anyone have the details on the storage system instantiated? Visiting DDN's website only reveals a description of storage systems that allow mixes of 3.5, 2.5 hdd and ssd storage. What's the actual as-built setup here?

 

[SlitWeaver]

Finally a server that can handle all the internet p0rn load by itself.

:lol:

 

[acadia11]

But can it play... ah never mind...

 

[acadia11]

Who foots the bill for these things again?

I do next question.

 

[pjmelect]

Should be large enough for my porn collection.

 

[vaughn2k]

I guess this computer, is too much powerful, that i cannot anymore understand while reading through the news... nose bleed...

Hey OakRidge why dont you take that billions of dollars you spend on stupid fast computers and put it towards something that benefits america!!! I guess jobless rates and people starving, crumbling infrastructure within Tennessee is not as important as a computer that can do as much as titan! Climate forecast a thousand years from now or maps that show where every Walmart in the nation is within seconds is more important! How about using that computer to find cures for complex diseases that currently kill people? Came there a few years ago with school and seen your other 5 super computers like jaguar and what ever the others were isn't the billions you spent on this machines enough? ORNL is a waste of tax money IMO! What have you done that is good for the nation lately? Gov crap!

What have you done that is good for the nation lately?

Returned bragging rights to the proper owners (America).

Can it find the 100K porn images that I'm interested in out of the 100K*1000 images or more available? (I'm willing to evaluate 100K images so it can learn my likes and dislikes.)

If you consider 1 x 256GB Samsung Pro SSD can reach 540MB/s

40PB/256GB is 163840
540MB/s x 163840 is 88473600MB/s = 84.375TB/s.
Very crude calculations I know, but 1.4TB/s for this amount of storage isn't that great.
