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.

    Apple has NOT grasped Open Source.

    They are cognizant of it, and more O.S. friendly than some, but they sell a very closed-source OS on a very closed architecture.
