If you choose a regional system builder you can be/make sure they use common
standard parts like case/cooling/MB/PSU and replace them by yourself. This may
not be the case with tier 1 prebuild systems...

wouldn't slide run better on a GPU (or perhaps an integrated memory system where GPU and CPU share the same very fast memory)? The AMD infinity fabric approach seems to be reaching for that. For example, Matthew Lai first wrote a general purpose CPU version of his program, which did well. But it wa...

Maybe also worth to mention, AMD/Cray will build the third U.S. Exa-FLOP system named El Capitan planed for 2023. Not sure why DOE did not choose IBM/Nvidia, would make more sense to me to take a third domestic player beside Intel and AMD. https://www.anandtech.com/show/15581/el-capitan-supercompute...

But there are still enough spare parts out there, so I will start a little experiment, buy now a set of LCD, inverter, keyboard, fan, motherboard spare parts for ~150 bucks, b...

Okay, I said what I wished to say, to those who did not know - Elo is a surname, the rest is up to you, I am out of this thread, make someone happy today or so.

Writing ELO and elo has consequences. When I entered this chess community I was confused by the different spellings, and I simply concluded that it must be some kind of abbreviation like CPU/cpu and did not bother to look up and started to imitate the spelling without knowing better... So, the only...
