dear all, this is an inspiration for a great idea. iluggers could get together, say for the may 2k4 meet, bring their linux boxes, wire them up, and create a 'flashmob' supercomputer. i could invite the press and write a press release on this. someone could talk to tv channels to cover this.
read on to get inspired. people with supercomputing howto skills need to volunteer. let's fix up a date, time, venue, and get started. *** Linux creates first ad-hoc, temporary supercomputer http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/04/02/184238 Linux will be used to create a giant, temporary supercomputer from normal PCs brought by volunteers to an event tomorrow in San Francisco billed as the first of its kind. "FlashMob" will showcase technology enabling ordinary people with standard PCs to create a supercomputer in a matter of hours. The FlashMob event is sponsored by Foundry Networks, Myricom, and HP. *** HP-lurkers on the list could help and sponsor, too. :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
