A pity given data sets keep getting bigger.
Can't it be parallelized on server, and client will only
receive presentable data? Then your only concern will be
energy consumption.
Yes, it looks like server/HPC increasingly is becoming a
separate CPU market again.
I read somewhere that next gen high end APU from AMD might have
a TDP of 200/300W (pretty hot) and basically integrate a
full-blown GPU and use HBM memory (>128GB/s?).
I'm thinking more about distributed platforms. We made our server
support farm configuration, and the customer was happy to buy 6
farm nodes and plans to add 3 more. For some reason a farm is
cheaper than one big iron server?
