What Would You Do with 48 Cores Contest

AMD has asked, "what would you do with 48 cores?"

This is my entry submission. Yes, it is a real submission. Yes, I would be surprised if I won (and probably the recipient of an excessive amount of hate mail).

My entry...

In short I would underutilize them.

Let's be honest: relatively few people or organizations can or would actually use eight or 16 cores to a somewhat full potential, much less 48 of them. Even if I had an idea that might change the world, neither I nor my organization have the capital to realize the technology necessary to use the cores to accomplish my idea. I'd need more than just the computer. Verily, I'd probably just virtualize what I have and do my part to save energy and costs as best as I can. The best way to change the world is to start in my own back yard.

I would certainly show off my new toy and boast to everyone who will hear from where it came and how I got it, though...
