together to create a super computer which rivaled his former supercomputer. The point of this type of setup is exactly what I'm going to build myself. It is basically a desktop server, which, when input from a remote computer is sent to the server, breaks up the workload, computes, or renders, or solves, and then sends it back to the remote machine. This IS useful for home users that render 3D animation, or graphics, such as fractals that can sometimes take the better part of a day for one image. It is NOT good for games, or everyday activity because not everything is sent to the remote server. Only specified actions are sent for resolve. Plus, your games would run like Vista on a 486 Cyrix with 16mb memory if it were even possible to use such a machine for gaming.<br><br>Calulator would be the tits!<br><br>And how much is this machine again? Priceless you say?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sotec_productions]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2007 5:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NEC touts "world's fastest vector supercomputer"]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/nec-touts-worlds-faster-vector-supercomputer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/nec-touts-worlds-faster-vector-supercomputer/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, I remember the thing about PS3's but I doubt you should take it seriously. While the Cell is undoubtedly capable chip for vector computations, there's simply no way it could compare to a super computer the guy mentioned. There are just too many bottlenecks there, beginning with tiny ram, slow hdd and a mere 100base lan port which considering the amount of processing it supposedly was doing is not going to be enough to carry data back and fourth.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[eX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 25th 2007 10:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NEC touts "world's fastest vector supercomputer"]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/nec-touts-worlds-faster-vector-supercomputer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/nec-touts-worlds-faster-vector-supercomputer/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well, my assumption, since the specs of the machines weren't given, is that having built the previous supercomputer himself, or at least helped on, he jazzed those PS3's up to handle his computations.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sotec_productions]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 29th 2007 5:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NEC touts "world's fastest vector supercomputer"]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/nec-touts-worlds-faster-vector-supercomputer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/nec-touts-worlds-faster-vector-supercomputer/</guid><description><![CDATA[a catagory 5 hurricane in a plastic cofee can with a molten heatsink/waterblock and melted concrete below]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bobs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 26th 2007 5:01AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
