A colleague of mine is working on some new hardware and wanted to get feedback from the Maxwell forum about how interested you guys would be?
He's developing some hardware that merges together multiple motherboards to effectively appear as one PC (Linux). He is currently prototyping and the proposed models are;
A. 144 cores / 360 GHz, 96 GB RAM = £20,000 approx.
Benchwell Target 60 secs!!
B. 288 cores / 720 GHz, 192 GB RAM = £40,000 approx.
Benchwell Target 30 secs!!
and he's also thinking of possibly a model below A. (approx. half this spec and price) and maybe one above B. (approx. triple this spec (864 cores!!) and price).
The whole thing would be put in one (largish) case, a bit bigger than a Mac Pro.
It's relatively early days but development is going a pace and we're trying to get a feel for potential markets.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
