A Supercomputing Cluster For FPS Gaming

Posted by timothy on from the imagining-is-now-useless dept.

Paul E writes: " An atlanta company seems to have developed (modified?) a linux clustering platform that is very conducive to FPS games. These guys apparently have built a cluster that will be pushing 2 TerraFlops, which would easily put it between Blue Pacific and Blue Mountain . Interesting that the same time the .mil starts making FPS's, FPS platforms are outperforming some of the top defense labs."

    Wasn't the first military FPS a Doom mod? I remember seeing something on a TV show about the military training marines with a Doom mod (I didn't really belive it)
