Seems as though the new Apple G5 is creating quite a stir out there. Students in Virginia Tech have just managed to plug 1100 of the machines together in an effort to build one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers and a snip at only $5M. Could this be the end of $100M supercomputers? I estimate that in ten years these machines will become ten times smaller and will cost only a tiny fraction of the current price and every home will have one. 🙂 source: BBC NEWS
