I'll likely have the chance to get long term access to Opteron systems for bioclustering stuff but this will absolutly be a few weeks away as I've got to head to Brisbane for the ISMB/BOSC meetings. Anyone else have them yet? Anyone have them who is not under NDA? heh. Joe- I'm particularly interested how different compilers do when building for Opteron. Any feedback on that would be appreciated. -Chris Joe Landman wrote: > Hi folks: > > I have had the joy of playing with an Opteron for a few days, and have > done some preliminary testing on it using some BLAST runs.
