Contacted my friends at Supermicro again for the Superserver 4027GR-TR donation.
I was told that they were going to look into it. Just hope that they can help out with this. This GPU server will help the effort greatly and I really want other people to get interested in this effort to really help find cures to Aids, Ebola, Cancer and other illness.
I am assuming that other persons that also participate in these efforts, GPUGRID, World Community Grid, Seti@Home, Milkyway@Home, Einstein@Home and many others, will see the potential that this server has in helping these causes. That is why I have offered Supermicro to do a YouTube video on this server, there is no video of it now showing it's awesome computing power or just a simple review. It also has dual Xeon cpu's and holds a ton of DDR3 memory (1.5TB).
This is just a great server and Supermicro product are top notch. I have had several motherboards of theirs and they last forever. Been using dual cpu Supermicro motherboards since 1997. Very well constructed and reliable. Their technical staff and warranty service is very good. They answer email question very quickly also.
This is the server in question....
Now, if I am generating over 1,275,000.00 work units daily with a 6 gpu setup using 1x PCIe usb risers that are not letting the complete bandwidth work as it should, imagine when I get the 8 gpu's installed in that Supermicro server and all gpu cards using the correct x16 slots. That is going to be a great help towards the GPUGRID effort.
I suppose that is why Nvidia is the sponsor on GPUGRID and IBM is the sponsor on World Community Grid, it's because these efforts are really making a difference in the search for cures.
Nvidia and AMD have donated each over $9,000 in hardware towards my participation in these efforts, that is why I have been able to do all these work units in just a small amount of time.
