[tlug] linux supercomputer generates black hole collision simulation

[Scott VanDusen <Scott_VanDusen@example.com>]

Hi everyone,

Found this interesting:

"Ranked the fourth fastest supercomputer in the world on the November 2005 Top500 list, Columbia has increased the NASA’s total high-end computing, storage, and network capacity tenfold. This has enabled advances in science not previously possible on NASA’s high-end systems. It sits at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Facility at the Ames Research Facility. It consists of a 10,240-processor SGI Altix system comprised of 20 nodes, each with 512 Intel Itanium 2 processors, and running a Linux operating system."

Wonder which distro ;-)

Cheers,
