Tell me your application and I tell you what hardware can do the job ...
Evolution of a extremely large Neural Network by Genetic Algorithms. The
application is both very memory and numerically intensive. From what I see
right now. Even though the floating point is about three times faster on
the Alphas. So if were to buy three 450MHz Pentium II and cluster them
instead of purchasing one Alpha I should be getting better price
performance since the memory band is a very important factor in this
application. What do you think?
Michael.
PS. I gotten a price quotes of about $800-$900 for dual 450MHz Pentium II
motherboard with both CPU's. I think I maybe able to do much better that
that if I were to buy in quantity.
