Does anybody have a Linux cluster burning idle time? Does anybody
have a Linux cluster with unlocated processor faults? Post 'em if
you've got 'em! We can fill every core 99+% for as long as it amuses
you.
Uncle Al has a nasty problem calculating moments of inertia (and stuff
thereform) of expanding radius crystal lattice. Run time/point
increases as (radius)^2.
Output data looks like

A decent graph; 150,000 CPU-hrs

50K radius = 21 min/point in an AMD FX-55
That's about 7 GFLOPS sustained, folks.
Needs work.
I supply the Linux static executable or you can compile (*no*
Microsoft compilers - fatal bug) and optimize C++ source code
yourself. Every 1000 CPU-hrs helps. The results support a benchtop
test of General Relativity,

A chemist thinks 1000 atoms are a whole lot of atoms. A physicist
sees data for 30 trillion atoms and asks why we stopped. Calculation
would be 100K-500K radius or more. Even an FX-55 can't handle that...
and an FX-60 will be obsolete by June.
Thank you!
