On April 3, 2004 University of San Francisco will host the first Flash Mob Computing computer, FlashMob I, with the purpose of creating one of the Top 500 Supercomputers on the planet. FlashMobComputing has an interesting idea: gather random people together (as many as possible), all with computers, and temporarily connect them together to make a supercomputer. They had their first gathering a few days ago, and produced some decent performance results. The organizers say they'll submit their benchmark data for inclusion in the Top 500 supercomputer list. |
