Here’s your chance to own a decommissioned US government supercomputer
-
145,152-core Cheyenne supercomputer was 20th most powerful in the world in 2016.
It might not be able to play DOOM, but you can probably create doom with it
Good luck getting a graphics card for it though. "With a peak performance of 5,340 teraflops (4,788 Linpack teraflops), this SGI ICE XA system was capable of performing over 3 billion calculations per second for every watt of energy consumed, making it three times more energy-efficient than its predecessor, Yellowstone. The system featured 4,032 dual-socket nodes, each with two 18-core, 2.3-GHz Intel Xeon E5-2697v4 processors, for a total of 145,152 CPU cores. It also included 313 terabytes of memory and 40 petabytes of storage. The entire system in operation consumed about 1.7 megawatts of power." <-- wuff!

Finally! A machine that will handle my contacts lists!
