I believe the answer is an Opteron.
Of course that much money will buy quite a lot of CPUs!

With the memory bandwidth, floating point engine, and Hypertransport links 
on these, they are VERY fast for this type of thing.
If you want access to a machine to run some code samples on, please contact 
me off-list and we can arrange some time for you on a machine.
We have test/demo dual Opteron servers in place, available over SSH 
connections, for exactly this purpose.
They are set up with compilers, libraries and tools suitable for this use.

Thanks!



With our best regards,
