During the Supercomputing 2003 conference last week in Phoenix, Arizona, Three of the most powerful computing resources in the world worked in parallel with each other (using optical bandwidth from BT), to carry out complex lattice Boltzmann calculations. An experiment on this scale has never done before, let alone in such a short time span (72 hours).
:rolleyes: pft....give us 70 hours.... :D
Rather impressive
We've been diss'ed! :bonk:Quote:
Although connecting dormant home or office PCs can be used to solve scientific problems, scientists often argue that only supercomputers can do the job properly for serious calculations.

I took the liberty of quoting you on the Ars Food Court :D
Your comment speaks for itself - very cool :cool:
heretic
:rotfl: No worries, heretic!
And as Pointwood points out over there, I guess the "big boys" are saying:

Come on folks, upgrade your machines to 512MB of memory. That should do the trick. :smoking:
Could there be a showdown coming. The professonials VS the reguar PC user.
Hmmmm. I think we could kick some butt.
should I go down to thier house and kick in the door storm upstairs with a baseball bat and drag them out of bed in thier brooks brothers pj's and beat the smug little Ivy league smiles off thier faces :rotfl:
or do we have to settle for laughing at them :rolleyes:
laughing at them is probably better-- they probably have smug little Ivy League lawyers (ewwwwww)
:rotfl:
