happyhamsterchan:
so have you tried coding up memory-wasting code, instead of cpu-intensive stuff?

Numsgil:
Yeah.  Again, there's only so far you can take it from a Comp Sci standpoint.  Plus, because of CPU caches, there is definitely a point of diminishing returns (cache trashing).

happyhamsterchan:
awh... oh well, worth a shot.

peterb:
Instead of large computer one could design a grid that expands over multiple computers.
Such designs scale well and are even used for distributed virtual chemistry.. (which requires a lot of CPU power)

Simply extend the screen borders to others, if you like to create something like that, and in DB2 currently there is a telleporter in internet mode, does a bit the same..

If you think about local speed, you should maybe think about CUDA (let the GPU do some of the processing).
but it wil not work for all graphic processors (so then you need alternative routines too).

Houshalter:
We need to run Darwinbots on a super computer someday. I can't wait to see a zerobot after 10 million generations. Is there any way we can do this, ever? I suppose you could sign up with one of those shady web services that promise you billions of cpu cycles from an unamed source.
