Your “counterparties” rarely get comments but I would like to say that they are an excellent overview of the Web and are now a ‘must read’ for me.
Felix, thought of you on the issue of art and valuation, when watching Banksy’s “Exit Through the Gift Shop”. Mr. Brainwash seems to have accomplished a Homer.
Back in the early 1990s, I used to run Linpack on the fastest workstations of the day, with lesser numbers (Jack Dongarra’s been around for a long time). However, today with GPUs from NVIDIA, we’re talking teraFLOPS.

your take on your fellow breakingviews bloggers fix-it-all for Greece and Europe?

@Curmudgeon, if we’re talking about Linpack specifically, and not about theoretical max performance, the only NVIDIA card that can do 1 teraflop is the 4-GPU Tesla S2050.
@Nameless, I was actually thinking of some of the systems that ship with 960 cores.
Do you mean Tesla S1070? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvi dia_graphics_cards#Tesla
It might do 1 teraflop, but only in single precision.
I too appreciate your counter-parties heads up for headlines, but I also miss your meaty posts on Goldman and the Ags and the neverending financial crisis, being it ain’t over ’til it’s over.
