Alessandro17 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Pretty impressive! The most amazing is that this machine just cost as a better standard PC, but has 24 cores that run each at 2.4 Ghz, a total of 48GB ram, and just need 400W of power!! This means that it hardly gets warm, and make less noise then my desktop pc. Render jobs that took all night, now gets done in 10-12 min. If only he wanted to build them in large quantities and sell them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danerd100 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I believe he is referring to grid computing. It is very expensive to do. You could wikipedia it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
