Can I buy this? I want to play GTA 3 on medium graphics
+Nils Moberg if you have $400K , then you can buy it ;)
***** lol easypeasy
Nils Moberg lol
you can't play gta in any super computer in the world their architecture is not designed for gta. They can process huge calculations using parallel computing.

This is more like a cluster computer instead of a supercomputer. You can make something like this if you get Debian along with MP on each node.
EMR3 C4N 0K5UM I suppose, but that still means they can boast that they use “distributed computing” and “parallelization” (thru the GPUs) like every other supercomputer
i should have put a note with a big font " silly jokes is not allowed here " this have been asked 400 times or more
This is very creative! Most likely in several years later we can build our own super computer in the garage :D
Especially the cooling system is made from cheap parts :-)
Jokes apart, it's amazing! Wonderful engineering.
i totally agree
im planning on building this pc. Can it run minesweeper?
why dont you try it your self and tell us what happens
is this a trick question....
***** no , im just trying to loose you some how ,
my answer was as serious as your question
***** .
I tried and all system crashed
Good work. It good to see what one man can do. It quite achievement. Thank you for sharing it with us. Wish you success your other future projects.
It can be hard to make good videos but this is cool! Thanks for posting it... I started to do videos too, but never know if I can measure up to the better stuff out there lol!
YES! I have been bargain hunting for supercomputers everywhere! this video has really helped me with my price range!
love the cooling system xD
yeah
let me see if i get this right. some chinese guy bought 700 Xboxes, put them together and won a nobel prize? Who would have thought
can this Supercomputer be compared with Parallella SoC of the same cost??
sir hamada i respect you !
3:35 "The important thing, then, is not just building a computer, but understanding what research it will be used for." - This is indeed the secret sauce of computer science.
Very cool. It's exciting to think that my personal computer will be this powerful in 20 years. That is mind blowing.
intriguing idea. wish i had the space and lots of old equipment to experiment
Great video :)
Great, now any one can build super computers
This is pretty cool. Makes me wonder if I could even build a super compter.
i guess its possible ,
yes you are right , this one is amazing ,
Ah. Alright. Understandable. I subbed btw.
excellent, this would be my garage if i had unlimited play doe;) Would this be considered a form of distributed computing via network? or clustering, apologies if that is a tard question but i am trying to set up my own video render farm, and wonder how close this technology is to SETI application or folding at home and how these differ ? thnx for your time,
Love it.. all those house hold fans in the middle of the room for circulation! Classic!
Health and safety would have a birthday in there lol
It is always nice to see someone put people who spout their computer specs and think it means something in their place.
LOL at the cooling system
nice point thnk u :)
I love Japan!! Greetings from Austria. :)
Wow, now that's cool.
The interviewer sounds kinda like the inbuilt voice of windows, It's like he's never heard the word before in his entire life.
nice, now make it a laptop :D
Nice cooling system :D
hey professor mr2000jp, so did u people create the software used for collating and combining the performance of all the individual pc ? and how do u start it ? do u start each individual pc by itself or do u use ? wakeup through lan feature available on some motherboards.... ? or is it always on 24X7 ? also when do u plan to update it or its estimated life span ? also one more thing ... can u add new hardware to increase it performance ? like can u add 100 more to 760 gpu? without modification
Imagine playing video games on this!!! :D
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG I LOVE THE FANS!!!! that's so funny. "What? Cooling the CPU? No way, I use fans"
Thankyou
Ok, but where can I see the electrical map of this computer in order that I can do mine also, please ?
Hey will it work the same if you melt the pci-e x1 slots to put video cards in them, & wuldn't that be cheaper. I'm asking this because I saw it is posible to use a lot's of video cards on zorinaq blog, he all so mentioned that his whitepixel v2 achieves a higher rate of 33.1 billion password/sec on 4xHD5970.
very nice
Nice engineering but it has a huge resource footprint.
A Cray CX1 could perform this and take just up small room besides your desk.
well , maybe this is possible now since time has passed and technology advanced a lot , but any way , the main point here is the coast
***** I consider this as an engineering feat. I mean no disrespect. A single supercomputer can replace a server farm, it is environmentally more friendly. Some even cool themselves by pumping heat in building environment as an energy saving source.
Mike Cimerian hmmmm , good point
For me it looks like a Bit Mining Farm -.-
lol , you are right ,its really similar
Professor : "hey dean can I get a raise?"
Dean : "no"
(long awkward pause)
Dean : "can I do anything else for you?"
Professor : "so.. I really need a .. um... Super Computer."
Dean : "why do you need one"
Professor : "science"
Dean : "how much would that cost?"
Professor : "a little under a half million"
Dean : "are you sure you really need one this big"
Professor ; "yeah"
Dean : "why"
Professor : "for complex science and stuff you really wouldn't understand"
Dean : "fine, I'll make room in the budget"
Professor : (whispers)"sweet"
Dean : "what was that"
Professor : "nothing, nothing"
if i get one of these...ill never have to wait for a RUclips video to buffer again! (wow that's all i could think of?)
The SLI GPU's are very efficient for floating point operations and paralell tasks, the Computing industry are enfocating this configuration to accelerate those kind of tasks ;)
and rendering hentai.
a sneeze with great amount of saliva could kill the process :))
lol, this would be the ultimate gaming computer!
Technigeek, I see you read and respond to people's comments here so I have a question for which I hope you can answer for me, right now, the X99 chipset that was released is highly expensive given the cost of the supporting cpu's and memory, however, there do exist much older (and therefore, cheaper) solutions. In this video I noticed that there were in fact what appear to be mATX boards sitting side by side with cheap fans blowing air on them (quite effective I'm sure as it reduces the need for central A/C). Now, I own a Rampage III Gene by ASUS (also mATX and much cheaper than X99 and close in specs) that I managed to get operating beyond it's limits since it's using technology it was never meant to, specifically, an X5690 server CPU as well as 48 GB ECC memory, which is double it's specified maximum capacity. By itself this is capable of at least a teraflops in performance, would a large collection of these be more effective than the setup shown in the video, 1, and 2, would it cost less???
David Johnson it seems like you have some really nice hardware here ,
you have to put in mind that this super computer was made in 2008-2009 , and the cheapest hardware at that time was the gtx9800 ,and it was quite powerful , but silicon industry is moving very fast lately , this gpu nowadays is not that powerful ,and the same performance could be achieved by a 5 watt chip made by nvidia , the K1 ,the 9800 gpu consumes 240w at its peak , i think this is the main problem now , power consumption , and its part of the coast now ,
to answer your question i need to know what GPU you are using ,the gpu processing performance exceeds the cpu performance hundreds of times and thats what was used in this super computer ,
the gpu price is what gives the final idea of the total cost of making a supercomputer out of it ,
one thing you need to know , is that big companies make hardware for the supercomputers around the world , and sell it to governments and institutions for huge amounts of money , we are talking about billions here , which makes the cost of each piece thousands of dollars , not like the cpus and gpus we buy for few hundreds of dollars from the market , while the performance are quite similar , the big thing for this computer here is that its made out of parts from the market , and not even new part , from the latest releases , no , they used older parts that people had lost interest in, and is being sold for a fraction of its release date price , second , the software , companies make it and sell it to governments for millions of dollars , while this supercomputer uses free linux OS and they programmed their own extra extensions , which reduced the cost too ,
to sum it up all in few words , they succeeded in making a super cheap super computer by not buying it from companies ,and they built it by them selves using hardware that usually gets thrown in junkyards ,
you can build a supercomputer by your self using any hardware that you can get cheap ,and exceeding the performance to the one in the video is not impossible , depends on your budget ,
@Cubalisk
GTX 580s They hadnt even developed the Gtx 480 at that time. Probably Gtx 295s or Gtx 260s
what type of cabling are you using to connect them?
Ahhh, "it only costs about $420,000 to make." I'll take two!
I use to build super computers, then I took an arrow to the knee.
That actually depends mostly on your internet speed though... Now once buffered you could have about a million videos playing at once. :P
What about memory error correction? Consumer grade hardware doesn't have them. So how do you manage that?
wow nice to hear that,,, considering that 9800GTX ! series are end of line,,,, it would be difficult to find them,, nowadays but may be if u can use a motherboard like the some having VIRTU MVP which are capable of running two different combinations of gpu like amd & nvidia,, maybe in future this would be a good idea,,, or two somehow integrate this idea/technology in ur future softwares,,,, would be helpful it will allow old hardware as well as new hardware gpu to coexist without problems,,,,
Sli is for graphics speed and sharing the frame rate burden
but they are using those cards for CUDA/STREAM.
the SLI bridge isnt required to use multi gpu on a system for that.
Are they using like SETI@HOME, or other projects? :)
Love it! Me wannit
A question.... Theoretically is there a cut off point in which either the current software or hardware configuration would be unable to accommodate any further addition of aggregated hardware? I respect your ingenuity sir and thank you for once again proving the concept that the most money does not always win. Solid innovation (in my opinion) will always be a main constituent for the progress of mankind. Thank you for demonstrating it.
do you think it could be used to recompile satellite images to correct for atmospheric phenomena like clouds, and "Guess" what is under them.
@mr2000jp Yea, but the operating cost (electricity bill) for a supercomputer built from low-end parts would be significantly higher than one built from the latest consumer-grade parts available.
the main problem with this is the bandwidth between each module and thats the only reason hes not getting as high calculations per sec as it seems like it would be, i know for a fact that all of the high end cards he has do at least 300gflops each so if you multiply it out in theory he should have 10-20+ tflops but his internal network is what is slowing the whole thing down, it has the potential to be much better but it needs a stronger foundation.
JACKIE CHAN IS BACK!
GPGPU Massive Parallel power. Very smart. I was looking into getting a few Intel Xeon Phi to test out last week as part of testing initiative. Seems to be less porting work than CUDA. But new technology never ends up less work.
I'm looking into building something on a smaller scale (maybe with Raspberry PI's) and I was planning on using CAT5 since it supports speeds up to 1000Mbps. Are you saying if you upgraded your cabling to CAT5 you wouldn't have an increase in processing power?
I was like ; hmm interesting maybe this is an affordable gaming pc... Then I read the description and it said ; it's only $420000...
@mr2000jp no hes trying to say that the cards he was using were basically the most high end, expensive, and top of the line consumer edition cards at the time
So like, if i play WoW on this computer. I should be able to run all settings at max?
can I use it for the weekend?
:/ I wouldn't mind playing some video games on that :D
great for load-balancing of torrent downloads
That be cool if I could wire 10 old PCs like P4s and used it on windows 7 to play games.
This is Amazing now i just need 420K
I work on a project for the U.S. Air Force and we linked 1760 Playstation 3's together to build an array called CONDOR, and thats what we do, but your design is much, much better, and cheaper,what if you swapped 295 gtx's in SLI for GTX 580's you would probably need new power supplies, but it would be cool to try in simulation. Also is your final LAN copper or Glass, and what is the bus speed Gb/s or Tb/s. I thought what we were doing with PS3's was cool. You got us beat on the cool meter ;-)
If I could play battle field on that, that things I would do :O
Hi Sir,
Could you give the link on its technical documentation
Kind Regards
Sid
Can it run solitaire, mines sweeper and Arma III posibly even Bf4
It depends on why type of gaming you want.
A super computer could be used for LAN type gaming were people use a standard PC for access.
But this is unlikely to happen though.
most modern operative systems such as windows/linux can make a supercomputer to work slower than a 486 with DOS in the '90s, do they use their own? They should, or it would only be useful as fileserver or to watch youtube videos.
You guys should make an open source plan for the cheapest scalable super computer so that people and less fortunate schools can build them.
Finally, someone can emulate killer instinct!
@mr2000jp These high end consumer parts are easily capable of being overclocked heavily and they gain quite a lot of performance lol.
Does it run WoW on maximum settings?
From the video I think the computer is running linux =) god i love that.
I actually think it is very enjoyable to have debates on any form of internet community such as youtube. As long as it doesnt turn ignorant however.
The USAF built a cluster for specific software with PS3's which did what they needed extremely well and extremely effective. The used it for the CPU specifically.
with power of a 1.3 billion $ computer :)
That is a state of the art cooling system there.
+Anthony Palumbo simple and cheap but works
Technigeek spends 420k$ on old gpus and cant spend 4k$ on proper cooling.
don't forget the $200 per hour power bill. lol
I made a super computer by connecting the nerdiest asians in my school into one cluster.
Yes, they have a hidden gigabit port behind their necks.
Gordon Bell prize winner, a work that shows that supercomputing will radically change in the near future, and at the same time, programming paradigma.
So windows will pretty much fail if I mix and match amd and nvidia cards on the same computer?
i have 2 machine with same config [ i3 4th Gen 3.4Ghz, Gigabyte H81 MBD, 8GbCrossair Ram,1Tb hdd WD in each machine] is it possible to connect this 2 machine work parallel like super computer? and achive best performance ? if yes can u give me guide for this ?
thank you so much :)
Try searching for BFL or Butterfly Labs
How do they pair the computers together?
You can see a bank of A/C units above the rack behind the guy at one point in the video. Pretty sure the fans are just there to circulate cool air.
So that's where all our old parts go
What type of GPU they are using?
Not only that, super computer like MAX-5 (CIA headquarter super computer) also can perform a "password cracking" sequences, home PC need a 100 years using brute-force method for knowing the secret code, meanwhile super computer can do a same task for only few seconds.
I love computers, but I have to say with honesty that the challenge in computers is not linking tons of them together... that doesnt actually take as much talent as you would think... but the real challenge is improving computers on the microprocessor level.
I also think that its not good to judge a machine by "price per performance" but rather, a better judgement is performance per energy(in watts) input.
"this super computer was built by a Japanese university professor". No, he lead the development team. He didn't built it by himself so dont give him all the credit there.
But this is a brilliant project for the students, both IT and astrophysics students can work on it. It might even be usefull for calculating structural properties or other things.
So for them to break the world record in calculation per second with a "cheap" supercomputer is a job well done.
Interesting...but can it run Crysis?
also this type of a supercomputer would be very useful to us in countries like india,, where we can build up a amazing & low cost solution like ur supercomputer made of cpu parts,, but our govt imposes taxes on pc parts & prices are mostly controlled by dealers & computer parts are comparitively costlier in our country,, compared to others,,, still very good solution,,,,
best of luck,, for building your next supercomputer.... greetings from mumbai,,, india,,,
