I think the article probably means 250k 1024-point complex FFTs, which is a standard benchmark for signal processing hardware. Four microseconds for an FFT of that size is incredibly fast.
I took a look at their website where they claim 50 GFLOPS per board. Prime net is showing roughly 20,000 GFLOPS for all of GIMPS. So, as a rough estimate, 400 of these boards could handle all of GIMPS current load. -- Esse quam videri (to be rather than to seem) _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
