What do you think the Seti times would be on this bad boy? Link

 

[Wolfsraider]

i'll volunteer to test it out and give you the results um as soon as a year so you get an average lol

What OS will it be operating on? 😀 With 12,544 microprocessors 😛

Drool!! 😛

Just being involved in building this machine would be alot of fun! 😀

 

[muttley]

Teach the thing to teleport itself into space!

 

[RemyCanad]

They should put it on a distributed project for one day. It would be #1 so fast. 😛

 

[Robor]

Imagine the bandwidth it would take to feed that thing! It would probably be as much as Bandai needed to keep up his fleet. Oh wait... Nevermind. 😉

Your answer is contained within the article... 🙂

ASCI Purple will be powered by 12,544 microprocessors contained in 196 individual computers interconnected via a super-fast data highway that exchanges information at 100 gigabytes, the equivalent of 14 full-length DVD movies, every second. ASCI Purple will run IBM's AIXL operating system.

That is the interconnection speed.

I copied the whole friggin paragraph in the interest of completeness. If that's too confusing, here is the answer alone:

"ASCI Purple will run IBM's AIXL operating system."

Well now you get to explain it to me. 😉 Why does it running AIXL determine the amount of bandwith it would take to send it WUs?

LMAO!!!!!

Alright, I guess I didn't catch that when I read it the first time. My bad...

Still a cool setup.
