komodomitsu Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I didnt want to burst your bubble, sorry Im ambitious, but there must be a way to connect 3, 3.2GHz Pros together. Im gonna do it.

hecker Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sure there is a way. Why shouldn't there be one? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84467-mac-pro-96-ghz-processor-madness/#findComment-599534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Firstly shouldn't that be GHz, i think you should first learn to type before you start "welding" processors together!!

komodomitsu Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 O_O oooops... Typing error? hehehe. LoLy now everyone knows Im a noob. Way too embarrassing EDIT.

Azurael Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Xgrid. Beside your MHz/GHz confusion, remember also that the Mac Pro has 2 quad-core CPUs at 3.2GHz. That's 3.2x4=12.8 x 2=25.6GHz per machine, so with 3 3.2GHz quad core Mac Pros, you'd have 76.8GHz of CPU power. That's 8000 times 9.6MHz... You're also talking about $13,197 of computer though...

komodomitsu Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I think Ill leave now, owned again. Well said. I think I should leave.....-.- Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84467-mac-pro-96-ghz-processor-madness/#findComment-599599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurael Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 No need to leave Now, I want some Mac Pros Actually, a small rack of 8-core XServes would probably be more space-efficient. Shame they don't sell the cheaper cluster node versions with a single HDD bay and no optical drive any more.

mtotho Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 its possible.. not with a mac board tho. Yes with normal server motherboards.. it can be connected with ethernet and some software. With normal server boards it would be way cheaper to (4k instead of 40k) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84467-mac-pro-96-ghz-processor-madness/#findComment-607602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdelurk Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Does clustering works on Hackintoshes, anyone tried? Either with Xgrid, or Condor? Both appear to be free. For those new to the concept, this allows CPU power of several Macs to be pooled, they run as one big superfast computer from a single controlling Mac. For people who want to upgrade old G5s like me, this might be the ticket. If I don't need to buy a monitor & peripherals for the HackMac (if clustering is really all it's cracked up to be) I can spend the money on a box with 2-3 Intel i7 920's. That could accelerate my G5, like, almost 20x... Did anyone try this?

bonestonne Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 not to really be the bummer here, but aren't Xeons and Itaniums the only ones from intel that support multi-processor configuration? I could be stupid and wrong, but you can just throw the normal i7 line processors onto a multi-socket server board, you have to use Xeons (Itaniums are more corporate level stuff). I'm just saying this because the last time I saw a "normal" dual CPU board was back in the days of Pentium 3. I've seen some Socket 370 board with 2 sockets (could actually go out monday, and pick one up and bring it home, not being used by the school that has it). But as expected, the Pentium 3 Xeon's were faster, larger cache...the works. Also, i could be wrong, but it's not really like adding up the GHz of all the cores, a better way of defining the power would be a floating point cursor test.
