I suppose you could sign up with one of those shady web services that promise you billions of cpu cycles from an unamed source.

Supercomputers work by having hundreds or processors, and DB can't even run dual core! I think that should be the next step, by the way. It would mean that, on dual core machines, it would run twice as fast.

happyhamsterchan:
well, you can run db to take advantage of two/more cores, but afaik it's somewhat inefficient. You just have to run a sim on each processor, and network them all together.

BTW a PC in two years will be a supercomputer anyway, we can just wait for octocore i9s to come out.

What happened They made a good point about the lack of parallel processing which is ironic since it seems like alot of DB could be parralized even if it was a bit inefficient.

Let me see if I can dig up some old save. I still have the intention to continue. Basically I upped the costx by hand (works faster). This made it labour intensive.
