Last Thursday I was totally blown away by UoB's Building 27's New labs!!
60-80 Dell XPS's all fitted with Core i7 965 Extreme Editions, 6GB DDR3 and.....TWO nCrapia's GeForce GTX280's in SLI!!!! Damn!!! in UofB??????????? since when???
well that shot in a more radical thought in my brain...how about linking all those GTX's and i7's to be a stratospheric Computing Power? technically forming up a Grid "Bewolf" Style Supercomputer???? i did a rough calculation that would top out around 218 TERA FLOPS!!!! i guess even iran or north korea dont have such computing power for thier nuclear research lol!!
So am proposing the idea tomorrow to the Dean of IT and Dean of Engineering....imagine guys, a 60 i7's with twin GTX280 afterburners as a supercomputer for the physics department/Render Farm for the Eng department/ or even Folding@home!!!!
cant wait untill tomorrow!!!

Well, I don't think they have that kind of authority over that lab, but, anyway, good luck :)
