Um, that's 10 petaflops, not 10 teraflops. I'm assuming a neural network with 10^15 synapses (about 1 or 2 byte each) with 20 to 100 ms resolution, 10^16 to 10^17 operations per second. One Tesla = 350 GFLOPS, 1.5 GB, 120W, $1.3K. So maybe $1 billion and 100 MW of power for a few hundred thousand of these plus glue. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=103754539-40ed26 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
