[GRLUG] Many core systems

[Richard Nienhuis]

All the major vendors seem to have some sort of cloud computing program
now.  Really though, if you only need the power for 3-6 months
buying/leasing is probably a bad idea.  Unless you have very specific
needs.  IBM Will sell you access to a partial or whole z-series that might
have the capacity.  Can this load be dumped into graphics cards at all?
 Even if the program needs to be re-written it might make financial sense.
