An Apple Supercomputer

macintosh.g5.jpg

International Herald Tribune:

A home-brew supercomputer, assembled from off-the-shelf personal computers in just one month at a cost of slightly more than $5 million, is about to be ranked as one of the fastest machines in the world.

Word of the low-cost supercomputer put together by faculty, technicians and students at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is shaking up the esoteric world of high-performance computing, where the fastest machines have traditionally cost from $100 million to $250 million and taken several years to build.

...

The ranking is a coup for Apple, which for several years has lagged, in terms of raw computing speed, in the PC world controlled by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices microprocessors. It is also an indication that the supercomputer industry, which has been in eclipse since the end of the cold war, is again playing a more vital role.
