News to me - interesting


I was wandering around the web, and found this Top 500 Supercomputers list.

I always thought Super computers had really fast processors, but they don't. They use thousands of slow cheesy processors. Example: The #4 computer on the list uses 8,192 500MHz PowerPC 440 processors, WTF.

I didn't know that.
