Screw that. I'm proud of my dual Xeons, because I paid for them, and they are mine, and I can do whatever I want with them. The SETI farm is sexy, but it could never be home. 😀
 
Nice!!!

I did notice one Intel Xeon in the middle of all those Opterons. Must be a really lonely computer.

and to think, our taxdollars probably paid for most of those boxes

Not "probably"... 'and to think, our taxdollars did paid for most of those boxes'.

I should get around to doing my taxes 🙁
 
Methinks there might be something fishy about that farm - like it's VMWare or the like with a couple dozen virtual machines running on just one or two actually machines.

I highly doubt it.... Fermi's work requires MASSIVE amounts of computing power and who better to pay for the research than the government (though I'm sure there are a decent bit of private donations) Don't get me wrong, the work they do is amazing but the whole concept of over 2 million dollars of computing power running seti shocks me a bit (and also hints of jealously that i can't have some of that powah 😉 )

FermiLab Burn In Farm

Don't think these will be running Seti their whole life.
 
I was a bit surprised at the benchmark results of these buggers.

Operton 265
Measured floating point speed 893.55 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 1765.59 million ops/sec

My P3-1000
Measured floating point speed 1030.61 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 2639.69 million ops/sec

My first guess is that they are not using an optimized client. I suppose that with over 500 of em who cares! 🙂
 
Man are all those Opterons for real?!:shocked:

😉 There is nothing like putting holes for a mod in a $600 case. 🙂 Nothing. Because it's yours, and you can do that. :laugh:

$600!!?:Q ,is it made of Silver or Titanium?😉

Nope. Just plain old steel. Except for the wheel. But they are sturdy enough for the wife and me to roll around across our tile floored living room when we were moving in. One at a time, of course.
