Server for some Mathematics & Scientific online programs

I have built up my skills a little bit in VB... And I want to put some of my mathematics programs online, to be ran online. I am using Visual Web Developer 08 to 'recreate' my programs for online use. I want the server to be lightning fast when it comes to processing the numbers and sending them back out to the user...

What can I do here to improve timing?

Also, what can I host .aspx with?

Thanks

Faster processor or multiple processors, and the fastest bus speed you can afford.

I read where the Russians are using the processors out of the latest graphics cards to do mathematical calculations to break encryption codes because the processors used in those cards are faster at math than CPUs.

Yeah, I've heard of doing that for F@H...

What will host .aspx? Will Apache?

Thanks

At my university a lot of professors use GFX cards and run calculation on them. Also, you can put linux on ps3 (natively) and have a 8 core computer! (The last core is restricted).

You can use apache on windows...

I already do run Apache on XP Home.... This mod is what I am looking for..

I wonder how F@H would run on an X1300PRO or better yet, these calculations..
 
Eh, it might, depending on how much traffic you plan to have on your server. Are you going to be doing it over lan or internet? In most cases, your download/upload speeds are the most severe limiting factors. I'm sure any SATA hard drive will work just fine.

I have two WD 80Gb SATA's in RAID 0 in it right now... It's over the internet.. It hosts a basic HTML site that contains some Flash very quick right now. The only thing bad about my server is the MB, Intel MB's have a stability problem sometimes. Do you think I should give it some RAM?

Would RAID help the server any at all? It's going to be pulling graphing info...

Raid will only speed up how long it takes to retrieve info from the hard drive, there will be no advantage to the processing speed of the server.

Raid helps speed things up when you are pulling and placing large amounts of data from the disk drives.

Speaking of powerfull servers; I worked an internship at a place that had 2 servers that had 4 quad core processors and 17gb of ram EACH!

Each server ran up to 14 virtual servers inside and only ran at 1/2 capacity. That means that if one physical server goes down, the other can/will pick up and run all of the virtual servers (28). :eek:

We are just talking like finding advanced matrix determinants, linear transformations, etc.

Nothing that advanced:P Until I am getting paid for something like that...
