here is my submission :<br><a href="http://xhema.flossk.org:8081/blog/members/h4ck3rm1k3/activity/204/">http://xhema.flossk.org:8081/blog/members/h4ck3rm1k3/activity/204/</a><br><div class="activity-inner">
<p>My submission to AMD, what would I do with 48 cores.</p>
<p>1. remove windows and install debian GNU Linux<br>
2. setup a mapserver for the giscorp/openstreetmap project.<br>
3. setup gdal tools to process the gigabytes of image files we have.<br>
4. setup an mapnik rendering engine<br>
5. use the 48 core for compiling mapnik, it is a beast.<br>
6. install some of my high speed c++ code <a href="https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ejamesmikedupont/+junk/EPANatReg" rel="nofollow">https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesmikedupont/+junk/EPANatReg</a> and tune that for processing the osm data on many cores. t<br>
7. setup a feed from the openstreetmap changes server to download and process all new data from osm.<br>
8. setup a splitting tool to split all the osm data into smaller files and then host them on a git server for easy access.<br>
I don’t even need physical access to the machine, just put it on the net and give me the root password!</p>
