How to Build an 8-Core Hyperthreaded Monster Computer on a Budget
How to Build an 8-Core Hyperthreaded Monster Computer on a Budget
It is hard to find a computer exactly the way that one wants and needs just sitting on the shelf in a store. Some companies offer custom made ones but with a price to match. Additionally, no one source has all of the things that one would want. Quality becomes another issue as most people shop with price as a major controlling factor so companies are parsimonious in procuring the components.
Dr Morantz has combined his Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, and good common sense to build an 8-core hyperthreaded monster computer with strong performance and reliability while working within a financial budget to fits his own needs and desires.
This presentation covers this project from design phase to completion. Advantages and disadvantages will be discussed along with sourcing and assembly tips. This whole project took several months and has been very rewarding, both in having the computer that is needed and wanted, and being a learning process. Much knowledge and experience was gained with this project. Dr Morantz will go through the steps explaining what he did and why.

Biography:
Dr Morantz is a Senior Life member of the IEEE, the Computer Society, and the Computational Intelligence Society. His area of research is in Decision Sciences. His goal is to understand how pattern recognition and cognitive function are accomplished in the biological world and then to implement this in the machine environment in order to improve the quality of our decision making.
Dr Morantz has his BS in CIS/EE, his MS and PhD in Decision Sciences with a minor in computer science and an emphasis in artificial intelligence. He has taken additional courses in Computational BioScience, Statistical Design Methodology, Design Analysis of Simulation Experiments (DASE) and the sciences in general. He also has over 150 hours from Raytheon Learning Institute as well as numerous other continuing education courses.
Dr Morantz has given many presentations on advanced methodologies around the world. He also has many publications in this area as well.
