Hello: I am planning to build a work station with FOUR PCI express Fermi GTX 470 boards for CUDA, to run on amd64 stable. Four GTX 470 is the only fixed hardware (Fermi Tesla has no advantage when single precision suffices as in my case for molecular dynamics; this implies that the intended software runs on GTX 470, like on Tesla). Thus, the culprit is the clock, not the RAM size. However, no overclock, as the computations may last weeks.
I am asking advice about the mainboard and CPUs (overwriting intended). Also, if equipped with ECC RAM, it could also serve for double precision using the CPUs only. What about: Supermicro 4021 GA-62R+F (with power supply 1400W) Two Amd Opteron Six Core 2427 Actually the Supermicro cage+power_source drains a lot of money (at least when imported to Europe) and I would prefer separate cage+main-board+power-source (provided they fit together; three years ago I assembled a Supermicro four-socket board starting from an old Chinese cage; it required a full week engineering the cage, which was for a smaller board) Thanks a lot for advice. francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
