a couple of my associates are running a new little project involving a nice little Onyx machine.  If anyone can think of something audio-visual or the like that it could be used for then they may be interested in helping out.  TO be added later are an Onyx2 and a couple of Origion2000 boxes.  Im really only posting because im nerdy enough to think that having some proper Big Iron sat around in your office is quite nifty...

I dont know what I would use something like that for, but im suffering severe processor envy!

(pic in link is dead!)

Lol if only I could Id take a picture where I work You know something is good when you walk into the server hall and see CRAY in that ever so cool font on the front of a cluster of computers

Big Iron is always impressive Quite what you can do with it I have no idea. Could do some rendering or something lol use it for folding@home

I could use the spare cycles for churning through a ton of movies and turning them from 24fps films to 60fps films.  But I dont think Id be allowed to run the algorithms outside of our grid.  Works out at about 14400 hours on a single 3GHz core each week which slows down my research no end even with hundreds of cores working on it
