Re: NEC-LIST:segmentation limit

Hi Brent and others

With SuperNEC the amount of segments that you can simulate is only related
to the amount of memory that you have, there is even a parallel version of
SuperNEC that allows you to pool the memory of computers connected on a
network to solve a problem quicker or that may not be able to be solved on a
single computer, or may take to long to do so.

The RAM needed =8bytes* n*n where n is the number of segments (Remember you
need a little bit of extra memory to run windows)
So on a machine with 500Megs of RAM computer, you can probably solve about
7000 segments before it starts using the harddrive

Brandon
