A Look Inside Virginia Tech's New Super Computer

Posted by Cliff on from the taking-a-peek dept.

Mr Bob "The original" bougert brings us "...a video of the Virginia Tech super computer centre. How many people think that super computer centres like this, with their reasonably cheap cost should be created in more places? This video of the infamous super computer should be interesting to some and pretty to look for others." It views like an ad for Apple, but Virginia Tech has scored quite an achievement with this milestone, and this should serve as a decent introduction for those unfamiliar with the project.

    it's nice to know that after a hap-hazard movie career, Fisher Stevens can go on to do an Apple Commercial about the Virgina Tech Super Computer. He can put on a clever discuise, but the minute he said 'Oh no Jonny Five', I knew it was him.

    > I'd rather watch this video than endure another Linux bore-a-thon.

    "At a price of 5.2 million dollars, practically anyone can build one. "

    I think I'll invest in one of these right after I pay off my iPod.
