Wow, that is certainly huge... :O

 

[I-Die-Often]

I wonder what their fps is?

 

[5starGeneralAlphaSnake]

If i got that i would probably still have a bad fps

 

[xKodiakx]

yeah since I highly doubt there are any video cards in those

 

[Rogue Sniper]

and yet they're still using CRT monitors... fail

but i must say thats a pretty big computation center

...I thought Stanford's F@H had the largest grid?

Or is this something different? Sure sounds the same.

~Gooda~

CRT's are actually better than LCD's... They're just bulky..

I'm thinking it's only going by CPU's, with the GPU's i think F@H is still king of Distributed power...

I'm still wondering
1) How much their power bill is
2) How cold it has to be in there to support all this
3) How much it cost to put that all together.

 

[GCrusader]

1) Probably a lot
2) Very
3) Read #1

lol

 

[Cryptex]

That should be sufficient for recreating the big bang right?

 

[GCrusader]

Er...possibly...hopefully we DON'T do that tough...

 

[Mostly Harmless]

its funny that you say that because thats exactly what this is for. The Large Hadron Collider spins atoms in different directions within a 5 mile radius at the speed of light hoping to create something similar to the big bang. This is just the computing system to anilyze the effects. Scary actually.....

I'd like to take a tour of that place personaly
