I've just checked, the central file space is 160GB, which is about 50%
full right now. It's shared via NFS, unfortunately, so it's not that
good really. They still have impressive computing power, I've just
checked that they have a 4x800MHz Itanium and a 4x1GHz Alpha. The
Itanium has 4GB of RAM, as many of the SMP systems they have.
All in all, if it's really just copying data around, then it would be
best to do it on a PC with a lot of (local) disk space. From your
experience, what difference does CPU speed, the number of CPUs, and
the amount of RAM make? As someone else has said, disk space isn't
that expensive, and if we get a donation, you could set up a new
heater^H^H^H^H^H^HPC in your house with a 1TB RAID made of 4 IDE disks
or so.
