Heh if he needs any more money he can just render an entire movie for hollywood.

True, true. That's a lot of computing power!

A bit of an update:

Holy crap.

[Ion] · Oct 13, 2010

Yeah. Absolutely amazing!

Best I've ever had in my BOINCview farm is about 14 threads (an i7, 2 duals, and a pair of singles)

Chicken Patty · Oct 13, 2010

That's just ridiculous as I said before. Geez, servers are gonna crap out from all the results getting returned :laugh:

[Ion] · Oct 13, 2010

Ridiculous, I won't argue with. I am very impressed with anyone willing to spend this much on a DC project.

However, I doubt that it will cause any issues for the WCG servers

Not literally

I just can't get over the it!

[Ion] · Oct 13, 2010

I know you didn't mean it literally :laugh:

I am just in awe, I have already gone back and read the thread again twice today :toast:

Absolutely amazing!

I dunno about that...

Pixars rendering farm

Can you imagine that running WCG?
I can't... I think that system brought them back down to 1 frame per cpu hour or something.

Now for the kicker-
1,024 Intel 2.8GHz Xeon processors

I wonder if they're constantly rendering. They have to have some free time right? Pixar doesn't put out movies that often. Surely they could switch the units over to WCG for a little between-rendering crunch time.

I wonder what would happen if he got into F@H as well :eek:

Bah they're probably P4 xeons no match for 10 core i7 hex cores.

Maybe we should write to Steve Jobs and convince him to do so

Maybe we can all tell him we will buy Ipods and Mac's if you does it.

But can it play crysis?

Yes it can. A single core i7 running crysis = 7.36FPS using windows WARP and a Penryn quad @ 3.0GHz = 5.69FPS. Assuming linear scaling at best times that by 1024 and I'd imagine it could run crysis very well.

[Ion] · Oct 15, 2010

theonedub said:

Well, each hex core could be ~50k PPD. So that's ~500k right there :eek:

Crysis also needs some GPU power

I was thinking more along the lines of filling up all those empty PCIe slots

[Ion] · Oct 15, 2010

Oh. Well that would work too. But 500k PPD is still very nice

Delta6326 · Oct 15, 2010

DANG! if i had the money i would try and top this off

[Ion] · Oct 15, 2010

He pulled over 90k yesterday! :eek:

93,725 to be exact! :respect:

[Ion] · Oct 15, 2010

And nearly 150k today! :eek:

Not if your using warp

Warp being windows advanced rasterization program.

Ion, whats the number to get your badge here? Is it 100,000?

Also, anyone whos a member on XS may have got the email from Movieman about the next WCG event in November. I'm glad to say I'll be participating.

Chicken Patty · Oct 26, 2010

I haven't,

150k, that's insane :eek:
