Can Parallel Python run on a muti-CPU server ?

[fdu.xiaojf]

Hi all,

I'm interested in Parallel Python and I learned from the website of
Parallel Python
that it can run on SMP and clusters. But can it run on a our muti-CPU
server ?
We are running an origin3800 server with 128 CPUs.

Thanks.

From the www.parallelpython.com , the 'Features' section:
--------------------------------
Features:
*Parallel execution of python code on SMP and clusters
-------------------------------

PP uses processes, and thus it will take advantage of multiple cores
for a CPU bound task.

I see you got a problem. me to. how can i get such a little toy for my
own and how much do i have to spend on it.
i also want sometjing like thi. 128 cpu-s, 64 GB rainbowtables, oh my
god. i want this. i am very close to have an orgasm.

no, not renting. i need such one at home. when you say rent it sounds
like buy a hosting package. i need one to work all the time on max
power. cracking md5 needs power. :-D

Hi,

That is definitely possible!
To achieve the best performance split your calculation either into 128
equal parts or int >>128 part of any size (then load balancing will
spread workload equally). Let us know the results, if need any help
with parallelization feel free to request it here:

Thank you!
