It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014

Titan hasn't been the top dog for a while now already if I recall.

true but who cares if you build a fission power plant next to it

Titan consumes 8.2MW - assuming the AMD equivalent uses twice as much, it doesn't require a fission plant to power it. 

Interested in Linux, SteamOS and Open-source applications? Go here

You can't game on a super computer

I thought he was talking about the GTX Titan until I stopped being a dumbass.

The best super computers use the PowerPC architexture because of their computation and similation efficiency. Far better than x86.

They also use Telsa graphics cards for the same reason.

the super computers that do the Galactic collision and dark matter similations are playing host to literally 100 billion plus objects with at least 20 different quantum and relative phyisics variables

so thats 20x10^11 object computations required for one simulation action, but these need to simulate the movement of a galaxy with also a dark matter and a supermassibe blackhole, over the expanse of time of billions of years.

x86 can't handle those kinds of computations enmasse because they aren't directly designed to be superscalar and are originally designed to run as stand alone, where as POWER is superscalar and works best when run in parallel.

x86 arch processors are good at running consumer products and need a UNIX/Win distro to operate, which can hold them back, where as the POWER series CPUs run UNIX(LINUX) without excessive drivers, and have far greater multi threading than x86 series.

Power7/8 are insanely good at simulation and multithreaded mathematics computation, and blow x86 out of the water, which is why x86 isnt used in supercomputing.

Will it max out crysis ????

 

No, because it cant fucking install and play Crysis.

Don't asks stupid questions, and you aren't clever repeating everyone's little trope joke that's been worn out washed til the colors have faded and needs to be thrown in the trash.

Let see. Titan Z (the GPU) has 8122 Giga FLOPS Single Precision processing power.

That amount of FLOPS has been passed in 2001 by NEC Earth Simulator who had 35860 Giga FLOPS

 

So, it would be impossible to build your own supercomputer out of consumer parts.

However, it still is a lot smaller than the NEC Earth Simulator.

Laptop: Intel Core i5-4200H, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, GeForce 840M

Desktop: Intel Core i3-6100, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, GeForce GTX 750 Ti

I have no clue what you said in OP. Or the title..

Selling my parts of my 900D rig for a jacked up Ncase M1. PM me for offers if interested (will take some reasonable-low offers because I'm desperate).

Parts that I'm selling: 900D (1 slot cover broken for stealth DVD drive mod) | Asus Z87 Deluxe | Cooler Master 212 Evo | Corsair 4x2GB black ram @1600mhz | EVGA 1000G2 PSU (2 cables with missing heat shrink) | DVD drive | HP membrane keyboard | Ducky Shine 3 YOTS in blue switches (warranty sticker broken)

OP has no idea what a supercomputer is xD

No you cannot use desktop-grade processors in it.

No it is not a regular PC.

No you can't use AMD graphics cards because it becomes too difficult to manage the head output. Also the 290x doesn't have double precision, and performs worse than a gtx titan black.
