So what's the answer

Ah

What's John's algorithm?

That means you're on the top side of the Atlantic. Still a side.

Physics prof telling a grad student to "paralyze" some code

Yes, typically 's' is the Brit way to spell it

Wow, just saying "twin 20 core xeons" out loud sounds pretty cool. Also, when encountering discussions on numerical simulations and parallelizable code, I've always wondered, is it "parallized" or "parallelized" and is the spelling with a "z" or an "s"? hmm

What's the best CPU for number crunching? Like running bigass N-body simulations in Fortran type stuff

Amen to that

oh wow

Ocelone7 what do you work as?

I'm just a wee junior (well, technically, senior now)

I suppose everyone here's above the undergrad level?

:) :) :) :)

talk about fizix wakey me uppey

zzzzzzz

Oh no, talk about money and fashion makes me sleepy

lol

haha

Haha hbar, I get it

Let's light this party up

Heyy everybody

@Alessandro yeah true. Theoretical physics or any "real" physics is going to involve the creative (and constrained) use of mathematics. I'm still an undergrad so I suppose I'm seeing it from an undergrad perspective, they only teach us very specific math methods like how to solve this pde, this Green function, basically just a bag of tricks

Physics is just like a bunch of special cases in math really

Daminark thanks for the encouragement I guess. The dream is to go into theoretical physics but sometimes I wonder whether I should have just majored in math because it's so important and used everywhere all the time

The extent of my knowledge about dynamical systems is knowing what Hamilton's equations are, the extent of my knowledge about topology is basic calculus and set theory, and the extent of my knowledge about algebra is group theory :) Physics perpective right here

whatcha guys talkin about

whew, ok

lowly physics major here, are you guys going to kick me out?

hey everyone
