India Plans A Supercomputing Grid

Named the "I-Grid" (I is for 'Information' silly !), its a feat for the Indians who have been bogged down by U.S. sanctions in the recent past -- besides, with a country as big as theirs, its one helluva project!"

    Sorry pal, but people from India are not called Indians (Polish are called Poles but people from Holland are not called Holes either). Indians are Hindus, even though not everybody practices the Hindu religion.... Manuel PS Holland people==Dutch people

    From the article:
    "Such a grid would share or combine diverse computer memories and software in parallel processes to aid environmental modeling, fast analysis of satellite images, advanced chip design and simulation of heavy-duty equipment like turbines."

    I think it's interesting how when one nuclear agressive country imports Playstation 2's we freak the fuck out, but when another nuclear agressive country creates the worlds largest supercomputing grid we say, Bravo!


    Ah well, such is life.

    Man... if India can build a super computer that big the could run Nuclear simulations and someday build a Nuclear bomb!

    Actually I think they'll use it to calculate the optimal consistency of a 7-11 slurpy.
