Exactly, CUDA has become a major player in the field of supercomputing. Just like IBM's PowerPC/BlueGene systems. With support for Floats/Doubles and amazingly fast math functions and tons of data in Matrices, the only other way to do all that math fast is a FPGA or a PowerPC chip.

You would be suprised who makes up anonymous.
It always reminds me of the following line from fight club.

Tyler Durden: [to the police chief] Hi. You're going to call off your rigorous investigation. You're going to publicly state that there is no underground group. Or... these guys are going to take your balls. They're going to send one to the New York Times, one to the LA Times press-release style. Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... fuck with us.

I for think it is funny to see "Project Mayhem" take form.

>But the Benchmark is in FLOPs which uses FLUs.(Like ALUs)
So if they have problems then the only ones to blame are the Designers of the computer.
A FLOP, is a FLOP, is a FLOP.

The possible problems are:
A. The aren't using the Math Libraries correctly.
B. They aren't using the CPU's or GPU's FLU correctly.
C. They configured the system bad. (I.e. Networking, etc)

Well duh! We need that kind of compute power to keep track of the debt.

Heck I wish this was more of a joke but as time goes on it isn't that far from the truth.
They even needed to add a number to the US debt clock when it hit over 10 Trillion(10^12)

I completely have faith in the state run media.
I was the product of government schools,
I was taught that our elected officials know better then us.
I was taught we had system of checks and balances.
I was taught money was evil.

Everything I was taught was bullshit, and I called them on it.
This does not help with grades.
I completely have faith in the state run media.
To report what the federal government wants them to report and hide the truth.
They abused the Commerce Clause, Viva 10th amendment!!!!!

Remember when programs where superior because of there performance.
When computer resources where valuable you had to code for performance.
To many scrubs in the programming world today.
These application developers don't even know what hardware is.
(i've see it, they are clueless, and there are plenty of them)
How many programmers understand all the different SSE versions?
well that is the end of my rant.

Tager is just tooo much fun, I had a game last night and some hakumen player
thought he could turtle in the corner(he was magnetized).
I did a 720+C drive and he flew across the screen. Apparently he wasn't prepared or thought me a scrub.
I nearly died of laugher from it. lost the final round because he did that knockdown low attack(repeatedly).
Should have not let him do that too me, my own fault but I was still laughing.
I really need to upload it. But TAGER and Arakune FTW!
