here is my submission : http://xhema.flossk.org:8081/blog/members/h4ck3rm1k3/activity/204/
My submission to AMD, what would I do with 48 cores. 1. remove windows and install debian GNU Linux 2. setup a mapserver for the giscorp/openstreetmap project. 3. setup gdal tools to process the gigabytes of image files we have. 4. setup an mapnik rendering engine 5. use the 48 core for compiling mapnik, it is a beast. 6. install some of my high speed c++ code https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesmikedupont/+junk/EPANatReg<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ejamesmikedupont/+junk/EPANatReg>and tune that for processing the osm data on many cores. t 7. setup a feed from the openstreetmap changes server to download and process all new data from osm. 8. setup a splitting tool to split all the osm data into smaller files and then host them on a git server for easy access. I don’t even need physical access to the machine, just put it on the net and give me the root password! mike On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 4:16 AM, SteveC <st...@asklater.com> wrote: > thanks kevin > > anyone want to apply for this? > > > On Mar 8, 2010, at 11:52 PM, Kevin's Hobbies - www.scale18.com wrote: > > > Hi Steve, > > > > I saw this in a recent slashdot submission page and I thought that you > guys might be interested. > > > > What Would You Do With 48 Cores? > > > > The AMD Server team is kicking March off with a new contest.
