I moved this claim here for discussion: "This is the largest [[computer cluster]] owned by an individual." I do not know of a way of verifying this statement, but given that there are some very wealthy collectors of supercomputers and massively parallel machines, and also given that there's no statement in the claim on how the size of two clusters could be compared, I do not feel there's enough information to justify this statement in the article. I welcome a discussion here about this. For one thing, the processors in this cluster are very old (PII 450MHz and Alphas), so a much smaller cluster of modern machines would likely have superior compute performance. --[[User:Zippy|Zippy]] 19:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC) |

Largest privately owned cluster claim
I moved this claim here for discussion: "This is the largest computer cluster owned by an individual." I do not know of a way of verifying this statement, but given that there are some very wealthy collectors of supercomputers and massively parallel machines, and also given that there's no statement in the claim on how the size of two clusters could be compared, I do not feel there's enough information to justify this statement in the article. I welcome a discussion here about this. For one thing, the processors in this cluster are very old (PII 450MHz and Alphas), so a much smaller cluster of modern machines would likely have superior compute performance. --Zippy 19:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Computer Cluster
I would like to see the research from John Koza move to a broader range, say Boinc for instance. The use of many personal and business pc's that would allow his processing power to grow enormously. There is also another community that works with grid computing, World Grid Comminity that may allow his research to reach a new level. The fact that a result of his research has earned a patent may have some wanting royalties running programs like Boinc, but I would be happy with credit that my computer helped make something already in use, better. With so many ways to donate to make the world a better place, I think grid computing is an excellent way to help contribute to scientists who have limited processing power. I am currently running Rosetta@home and Setti@home on Boinc. From the Widget in Idaho.--Bubba 83835 11:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)Do you Boinc?
