...supercomputers. The idea is simple: get water as close as the chip, or in the chip itself, to extract heat from it. While water-cooling is not new, getting so close to the chip is. The second novelty is that IBM wants to use the hot water for domestic purposes. Examples provided were "to heat your home, the town swimming pool, a hot shower,...

PS3s used as supercomputers

2008-12-18 02:44:29 by Mel in Forever Geek
 
...supercomputers at $1 per hour, with usage usually reaching 5,000 hours. But with this solution they can make their own supercomputer at the same cost Daisy chaining 8 PS3s sounds like a cool geek idea. This could become a secondary market for PS3s especially since its lagging at third place in sales
