Not a supercomputer but...
I finally fund something that actually puts on load on this thing.
I've got a program called Similarity that compare image and audio files and shows you which ones are similar (and how similar). Very useful for weeding out duplicates, near duppes, and stuff like the same image at different sizes or mirrored, etc
Still generate a fair number of false positives, but it's still a *major* help.
But when I compare some of the larger directory trees the CPU usage hits 100% (yet I can still do other things without noticeable slow-downs). The fans also spin up a *lot* and it gets kinda loud.
But I took about an hour to work on 82,000 files. Then I took an hour or so going thru the 1100 potential dupes. When I was done I only had 600 files left, most of which were things like photo sequences where someone had taken a pic every few secs or faster) so moving thru the list gave me a sort of slide so in the part of the display that showed the current image.
Hitting the down arrow fairly quickly moved along fast enough but still let me spot things that needed to be checked out
And toggling between the up and down arrows gives a nice way to compare the images visually. The parts that are the same stay steady and the parts that aren't sort of "blink".
