Good news all round then. After a 6 month delay (due to staff issues, relocation and reorganization for market readiness), we've finally started on further dev of our services platform. It's been a while since I've had to get down to designing to pseudo code level, and I'm enjoying it tremendously. Looking forward to Oct 1.
The design has been on-going since 2007 proper. When I say pseudo-code level, it entails the translation of generic and specialized modules in a language the developers can understand. As director architect, I'm most pleased with our objectives of phase 1 dev. Thanks to everyone on this list who keeps on driving the unpopular issues forward. We may not always agree, and if we did it would probably scare me shitless, but it does not mean one does not go away and think about what's being said. Now, getting down to cranking out market usefulness again, I'm convinced my time spent on this forum has made a significant difference to my pragmatic focus.

Boards with 10gE are rather pricey tho: =\ https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144258 It's trying to put a desktop class chip on a workstation class board, not dense enough for HPC applications, but OK for gaming... Personally, I want a full workstation board for my machine here, I expect X599 class boards to be available early next year. other inf0z for designing HPC systems: https://www.racksolutions.com/news/data-center-optimization/blade-server-vs-rack-server/ https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/microblade https://www.aspsys.com/solutions/hpc-processors/amd-epyc/ < well above commodity pricing but excellent compute density... I'm trying to get HabitatSim running on my other comp, using the annaconda python distro. It's not going too great, I can't seem to get all the dependencies installed, still playing with it. -- Clowns feed off of funny money; Funny money comes from the FED so NO FED -> NO CLOWNS!!!
