Most Powerful Computer in Canada - for a Day

Posted by timothy on from the fleeting-fame dept.

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.

    Because mozilla is so fucking slow on a 800 mhz processor it makes me wonder why IE 6 flys on on a 450 mhz processor!

    This is really being done also as sort of a protest due to the lack of supercomputing power in Canada. There are universities in the US that have more computing power than all of Canada combined.

      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.
