Just a year after a computing cluster based on its Xserve server made the top 10 list of the most powerful supercomputers, Apple Computer Inc. has announced a project at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that will give it yet another high-powered supercomputer.
The Turing Cluster, named after famed scientist Alan Turing and operated by the university's interdepartmental CSE (Computational Science and Engineering) group, is made up of 640 Xserve G5 rack-mounted servers connected by Myrinet, a high-speed, low-latency interconnect from Myricom Inc.
Pretty amazing stuff. Full article is here (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1760025,00.asp).
