Dead on. Size matters. Sometimes it's a hindrance. Remoras thrive on stuff that couldn't sustain sharks.

So do we ...

I talked it over with the rest of us and we all agreed that we don't like to think... Hurts our head...

You like to act... surf with the waves...
But computers can help us in this battle. I'm sure metooxx would agree. I assume both of you are profitable - with completely different trading styles...

I am curious if it is possible to rent time on a supercomputer. My needs would require around 500 gigabytes of RAM and a machine capable of processing information at around 5 teraflops.

How much does it cost to rent a supercomputer, where can it be done (university, etc) and what language would I need to write my program in?

I am looking to run studies on 5 years worth of ES tick data, 100 years worth of DOW index data and a few select sectors.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry AppleHead, but I highly doubt your bankroll of 4 large will get the job done

That 4 large isn't even going to rent this dream for much longer. Might as well take step back, stop thinking about super computers and enjoy the show -- won't be long until you get woken up... TIC-TOC-TIC-TOC

4K is what I have in my trading account. If need be, I have access to a lot more. I just want to go into this battle with swords sharpened and shields shined.

No offence to you but you're going to be a small fry in my game 3 years from now.

At the suggestion of Metooxx (thanks for your help!), I am going to look into Beowulf clusters.

Hmm, I must have missed his post about Beowulf (probably a PM). Oh well, good luck with this quest.

Are you rude to all posters, or just a select few?

I don't want to seem rude, but you are most disagreeable.
