An anonymous reader writes "On Nov. 4, 18 Canadian universities and will create the most powerful computer in Canada for a day to solve an important computational chemistry question in one day -- a task that would normally take six years to complete." Here is more information on the temporary supercomputer available at the project's home page and at UofG's News.

    now I find that very hard to believe. The government of canada has some very powerfull supercomputers used for weather. Also, I know for a fact that the Nortel labs in Ottawa have some very powerfull supercomputers. I think it is just plain ignorance that you would say someting like that. Plus, there are millions of personal computers in Canada. Well I can certainly believe that there are bigger supercomputers in the US, not even ten US universities come even close achieving your statement.
