A Supercomputing Cluster For FPS Gaming

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."

  1. Blizzard games? by antirename · · Score: 0, Troll

    The don't seem to be hosting any blizzard games. I wonder if that's got anything to do with the latest round of lawsuits. If that is the case, it makes me wonder whose server programs they're using to host the other games... I've seen downloadable servers for a lot of these. Or are the gaming companies supplying the code? If it's not coming from the gaming companies, how are they going to keep from getting sued when people play with warezed copies? Just curious.
