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!"

    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.
