velvetoceansound Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Quoted from CNN: SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- A Japanese supercomputer that studies the climate and other aspects of the Earth maintained its ranking as the world's fastest computer, according to a study released Friday. The Earth Simulator in Yokohama, Japan, performs 35.86 trillion calculations per second -- more than 4 1/2 times greater than the next-fastest machine. :freak: And [url=http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/biztech/11/15/fastest.computer.ap/index.html]here[/url] is the link. Do you think I could get Nuendo to run on this thing? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultravibe Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Actually, this brings up an interesting question of DAWs doing distributed tasks. I wish I could network the machines I have so that I could utilize all their resources effectively. We use distributed rendering at work for 3D animations, and I know digital audio is a completely different animal, but if only the same concept could be used. I'd throw out my old computers even more rarely. Andrew Mazzocchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you could chain computers together to get more signal processing power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progfusion74 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Look at the number of self-made clusters in that list. I was pleasantly surprised. I have had the privelege on working on some of those machines. Always dreamt of building a small Beowulf cluster for music, but someone needs to make a good Linux-DAW first prog http://www.indiegrooves.com/dnm/images/dnm_small.gif My Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovepusher Sly Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I heard on the news this morning about the U.S. military awarding a contract to IBM (I think) to build a supercomputer that will do 100trillion calcs a second. If you want to build your own cluster check out [url=http://exodus.physics.ucla.edu/appleseed/appleseed.html]Appleseed[/url] Sly :cool: Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky!

[/quote]I read this also, the chip is called something 5. It also said this was the chip that apple was working with them on to put into macs. I dont know the details and dont claim to be a chip guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
