I thought Boinc (connect all the domestic computers in a network) could easily out run a single room packed with PCs.

@skimowhite586 This supercomputer was built in 2003, before we had teraflop video cards. And the 1 teraflop rating on those cards is not under real-world conditions, and totally dependent on the application and definition of a FLOP, so its difficult to make the comparison.

imagine if they did that with the new 12 core mac pros, that would be 13,200 cores with a speed of 35,112GHz, 6,600 GB of ram, 1,100 TB of hard drive space, and 1,100 GB graphics memory. Thats one fast mac. And it would cost 5.5 million dollars.

@OBCblackhawk This was done 7 years ago and they got a special deal from apple for such a big buy. They have remade it twice now, once with G5 servers 5 years ago and again a couple years ago with intel mac pros. Although it’s kinda funny this wouldn’t run os x snow leopard if it still existed.

@osbert Actually one of the cheapest, I’ve heard of ones that cost $50 million.

@SmashCOBamberg They have upgraded it. Twice. Once with G5 servers in 2005 and again a few years ago with mac pros.
