What can 660 computer geeks do in a gym? Build a super computer, of course. Clever.
But, hey, why not try to build a supercomputer from roaming Tablet PCs? What a flashmob this would be! Imagine a Tablet PC convention event where we could all meet–I guess anywhere that there’s wireless access–and try to construct a supercomputer on the fly. To top it off, once we get things running we could all walk down the hall or to the cafeteria or wherever–while the calculations are running. It would be a stand-up, mobile supercomputer 🙂
The throughput required across the wireless network would demand some creative thinking. And I bet it’s going to take a fair number of Tablet PCs to get an honorable mention in the supercomputer directory. But it sure sounds like fun trying.
