A whole lot of computer
…with a tiny foot-print!
Apparently, someone has developed the ultimate add-on upgrade for a PC. This little sucker, which is actually a series of PCI cards, turns a regular desktop PC into the world’s smallest supercomputer! According to this article on Wired News, this “upgrade” costs around $25,000, which is chump-change compared to the millions that supercomputers normally cost. Okay, now, imagine a Beowulf cluster of these! (Yes, I’m kidding. I can’t imagine that such a thing would actually be possible. It would be cool though, wouldn’t it?)
Anyway, it seemed like a good article for a Monday morning. Sort of inspiration for getting more done, or something. Well, it was cool. Every Monday should start with something cool.
