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).
pft....give us 70 hours....
Rather impressive

I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape drive somewhere.
We've been diss'ed!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.

Paratima,
I took the liberty of quoting you on the Ars Food Court
Your comment speaks for itself - very cool

I bet they don't have as cool stats as we do though
Darn. Maybe its time we all upgrade our machines and show them who we are!Originally posted by Paratima

Come on folks, upgrade your machines to 512MB of memory. That should do the trick.
Could there be a showdown coming. The professonials VS the reguar PC user.
Hmmmm. I think we could kick some butt.
