What about Distributed Computing, Parallel Computing and General Purpose GPUs, Numerical Modeling and Simulation? – Tobias Kienzler Sep 2 '10 at 11:03

Or more specific proposals like High Energy Physics and Computational Chemistry? – Tobias Kienzler Sep 2 '10 at 11:03

I am aware, but I don't believe in too-narrow site scopes. SO proved that huge amount of totally different topics can coexist on one SE without chaos, so it is possible; on the other hand proposals that are covered by this topic are not going very well, so maybe integration will help? – mbq Sep 2 '10 at 15:30

	Converting a code to CUDA is not a specification of a HPC computing. I think, it's better for GPGPU group ? – almorel Sep 13 '10 at 9:52
	@almorel Making use of hardware accelerators? IMO it is full HPC. The idea is to make the site as broad as possible, so that it would gather the runaway amount of commitments. – mbq Sep 13 '10 at 11:18
	@mbq I'm agree but I understood this sample question as porting a code to CUDA. But use Cuda or GPU unit in a cluster will be very interesting to discuss. – almorel Sep 13 '10 at 14:30

This is a question for serverfault.com. – Riccardo Murri Oct 6 '10 at 7:42

Why? Grids are explicitely mentioned in the project description. – Traroth Feb 18 '11 at 10:40

It depends what your definition of "grid" is. In the context of your question, it doesn't make much sense. – Jon Bringhurst Jan 16 at 22:34

	Where exactly is the question in this? – dthorpe Sep 1 '10 at 23:48
	@dthorpe How about this? – mbq Sep 2 '10 at 7:55
	Better. Now, can this question be answered? It's awfully broad, vague. – dthorpe Sep 2 '10 at 18:52
	By using X I meant a scheme covering many real questions about different applications. – mbq Sep 3 '10 at 6:34
	Not a good example. Several bugs could cause such a problem, including development bugs which place is on StackOverflow. – Traroth Feb 18 '11 at 10:42

Not a good example of what I would like to see on the site: it's very subjective, IMHO. But I guess this kind of questions will be asked if the site ever makes it to public beta stage... – Riccardo Murri Oct 6 '10 at 7:45

As worded, this isn't really relevant. Maybe if you say something like... "What is the best practice for executing a job on a cluster when placing the job details on a message queue?" – Jon Bringhurst Jan 16 at 22:31
