Drooling Over VA Tech's 1100-Node G5 Cluster

Posted by pudge on from the more-pics-wanted dept.

Mr. Slurpee writes "Virginia Tech's 1100-node dual 2 GHz Apple G5 Terascale Cluster is getting racked up and ready to roar. If you're a penniless geek like me, at least there's some tech pr0n for us to drool over. There's 1100 of them ... think they could part with one?"

    I seem to recall a gene sequencing program that was running five or six times faster on a G4 than it was on a Pentium IV of the same speed.

    Well, I guess they weren't the same speed then, were they?

    And it's Pentium 4, not Pentium IV.
