Question by : New Computer Build, will it work? And is this extra card worth it? I am building an Engineering/Science/Gaming computer. I frequently design assemblies with 2000+ parts, I do investigations of the structure of math and numbers, and I design math models to model things like DNA and financial models, and I play some really good games in my down time. I need a set up that can do ALL of that, and will work. Here is my present plan for a build: ASRock Extreme4 LGA 2011 ATX Intel i7-3820 3.6 GHz 16 GB G.Skill ram PC12800 Quad Channel 8 us latency 2 EVGA GTX 570 (with 2560 MB mem each) -Important, will come back to this 256 GB OCZ Vertex4 SATA III SSD Typical 500 GB HDD Silverstone ST1200 Watt PSU H80 liquid CPU cooler Thor V2 case and peripherals So I just recently learned about pure processing GPUs by nVidia (such as the Quadro and Tesla). I can't afford a Tesla, but some of the smaller Quadro's are in my price range (like the FX 4600). Considering my needs, how much help would the Quadro be over one of my GTX 570s (I don't plan to SLI in any case), or in addition to both (2 GTX 570s and a Quadro at the same time)? Would such a system by compatible? Will it all fit on the board? Would I have room to add a PCIe SSD in a few years? How much improvement will I see of a Quadro over a GTX in information processing? If you want 5 stars and best answer, please answer as many questions as possible. Just to clarify, I know you can't run the GTX and Quadro SLI, I want to run them separately in the same box, to optimize for all of the different work I do. Specifically the FX 4600 The Quadro would be set to run PhysX and for programs like Autodesk Inventor (in other words, workstation stuff). I did some research and found I can actually do that, but the tip about the 680 might just make sense price wise, I hadn't considered it earlier. New GPU set up: GTX 680 + Quadro 2000D. Using the nVidia Drive and program settings, I can put the Quadro 2000D in charge of PhysX, scientific stuff, and I can rely on the GTX 680 as my primary graphics and gaming card. So does this system make sense? Best answer for New Computer Build, will it work? And is this extra card worth it?:
Answer by Lucas Miller
A Quadro is for a workstation machine, for editing and stuff. Not gaming. The system is almost exactly like mine, but I have a GTX 680, 24GB of RAM, an ASRock Extreme 7, and a 128GB Vertex 4. In my eyes, it is better to get one high powered GPU than two lower powered. I would up to a GTX 680 or a GTX 670. The GTX 670 is better than the GTX 580. If you are using it for a workstation though, get a Quadro. I saw that you're going to use it for gaming, so I would get a GTX 680/670. I'm not sure the improvement the Quadro would have over the GTX 680/670, but I would get a GTX 670 or if you want the extra power a GTX 680. There is my explanation, and it is a great system and I know because I have basically the same thing. Also, you might not need 1200W with the GTX 680, but If you want it for extra upgrade room in the future the one you have is great but I like Corsair PSU's, so I would get a Corsair AX1200 because it is 80+ Gold(more efficient because the one you have is only 80+) and fully modular. Edit: and yes, you will have the room for a PCI/PCIe SSD.

Up, up, and away in my beautiful balloon into the clear blue yonder - through and past the clouds. Think you'd like floating on a cloud? How about "Pennies from Heaven?" Are we there yet? No? Well...allow me a moment to enlighten your spirit...via the cloud.
The cloud as we know it; a metaphor for the Internet based upon how the Internet is depicted in computer network diagrams; is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided. SaaS (Service as a Software) over the Internet, as I've mentioned in previous postings, is the driving force.
For the purposes of edification, be it known, Microsoft is bringing its time-tested strategy to the Cloud. Bringing in more of its Office Software to bear, in convincing businesses to utilize its upgraded technologies. Intel is lurching forward and bringing its brand name into the next generation of the online productivity platform with "Microsoft Offi ce 365."
More than fifty-eight current and potential cloud computing users have formed an "Open Data Center Alliance". The actual number is reported at seventy participating companies...and growing. Road mapping on cloud interoperability is projected for the year 2011. This latest venture would probably cost companies (to a vendor lock-in) about $ 100 billion over the next few years. This data is a derivation of Mr. Kirk Skaugen, VP and General Manager of Intel's data center group, according to Charles Babcock of Information Week Magazine. The fifty billion dollar a year price tag is a combined expenditure by the seventy-company member team. Interoperability has added speed to development on the project and is likely to boost computer chip sales for Intel (an early developer of SRAM and DRAM memory chips - an AMERICAN Global technology company) and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). The logic behind the orchestrated push by Intel is to set the bes t standards and practices that help businesses and cloud performing initiatives ahead, says Skaugen and Babcock.
Many of the group's membership include National Australia Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Marriott, Lockheed Martin, China Life, UBS, Teramark, and BMW. They profess to provide cloud guidance while building data centers for the interoperability of private and public clouds by the year 2015. This group of allies also intends to address cloud infrastructure, management, data security, governance, and definition of services.
One productivity platform by "Office 365" will include the combination of Office Online Web Apps with Sharepoint Online, Exchange Online, and Lync Online. These service-based apps will offer versions of Office Word, Excel, Power Point, Email, Voicemail, Enterprise Social Networking, Instant Messaging, Web Portals, Extranets, Voice Conferencing, Video Conferencing, and Web Conferencing, as reported by Doug Henschen of Informati on Week Magazine. The Office 365 and the Office Professional Plus option(s) can cost from $ 2.00 to $ 24.00 a month per user.
As to where the alliance will focus its tech problems, based on the company's workload, they plan to tackle problems addressing their minimization of latency operations. They also plan to address the minimization of energy use within the cloud data center. "The focus will be on a five cloud usage model. They include the unified networking required for cloud computing, where multiple networking protocols for communications and storage are merged to reduce the number of ports and amount of equipment needed to establish a cloud," according to Skaugen and Babcock.
From the rack space cloud, cloud servers are an affordable and easy to use cloud-computing infrastructure. Each cloud is a fully customizable virtualized server instance that a user can launch, maintain, and control with full root access. Each server gives users full root access to the Linux distribution of choice. Users pay by the hour, depending on how large a server they use.
Cloud servers bring the power of the cloud to the traditional server hosting based model. A cloud server provides total flexibility to run anything from a Java Website to a Ruby On Rails application. This service comes under the SLA (Service Level Agreement)and is part of the contract along with terms of service(s) and is subject to terms and conditions stated in a contract document.
The participation on Intel's part is a sign of how uniformly cloud data centers rely on the X86 architecture development project. IBM, the maker of microprocessors, built its Research Triangle Park on X86 servers.
A server is a software program, or the computer on which a particular program runs. It provides a specific kind of service to client software running on the same computer or other computers on a specified network. The client provides the Graphic User Interface(GUI), and performs some or all of the processing of requests from the server, which maintains the data and process requests. It is a major element of modern operating systems and network design(s).
Now...do you feel like you're floating on a cloud?
Cloud computing is here to stay...at least until the next gust of wind comes along.
Til next time...
