I'm a little confused how a user could have 1 device and be spitting out results soooo fast. A user (slimasian) in my team (that I am very excited to be associated with) has 1 device and is avg 5 results/day. Each result is avg 1hr 39min. I have seven (7) P4 PCs running at 2.4Ghz to 3.2Ghz and I'm only avg 3.9 results/day? What kind of machine could that be? I'd like to get one for my office!

How do I email or contact a user directly? I'm fairly new to this and didn't know I could.

----------------------------------------Based ONLY on other threads I have seen in this forum, there does not appear to be any way to contact your team unless they post their contact information. Again, I say this only because I have seen many requests to have this ability. You can always email your question to tech support for an offical answer. Thanks! <dataman>  |

I didn't think so. By the way. Why am I a member but listed as a "Stranger" and not a member?

Dataman,
I just saw your reply in another thread about the "Stranger" label. Thanks for the info. |

Interesting to note:
A PetaFlop machine will likely be able to complete this entire project in the time it takes your 2ghz box to complete 1 unit. A PetaFlop machine will be available in 2 years. A 360TeraFlop machine will be achieved in 6months. In comparison, this grid has a very long way to go before it reaches 1TeraFlop. 1 PetaFlop = 1,000 Trillion operations per second (or 1000 Teraflops) |

Wouldn't that be nice to have someone join your team equipped with a PetaFlop box?
lol This is why IBM will always be the leading team(s). |

Supercomputers are defined and designed different ways. Here is a recent article of interest:
http://scienceblog.com/community/article4753.html " Earlier this year, the Center was chosen by DOE to lead a partnership with a goal of building the world's most powerful supercomputer by 2007. The National Leadership Computing Facility to be housed at ORNL will pool the partnership's computational resources for a sustained capacity of 50 trillion operations per second (50 teraflops) . . ." |

I know there has been a lot of talk about super computers, tera and peta flops......especially from No Mad
..........but let us not forget the concept of quantum computing and what it will do to this entire conversation once it comes to fruition (and it will).jerbenn |
