Examples

1. ‘Using software to tie together those desktops into a single ‘grid
2. ’ it assembled
3. in effect
4. a supercomputer to run its analytical software.’
5. ‘This configuration can achieve supercomputer processing rates at a fragment of the supercomputer's price tag.’
6. ‘Thus
7. it is no surprise that it was the sober scientists who started replacing expensive supercomputers with inexpensive networks of GNU / Linux systems.’
8. ‘A custom supercomputer uses processors that have been specialized for scientific computing.’
9. ‘By bringing hundreds of people like you together in one room
10. we will have enough computing power to become one of the fastest supercomputers on the planet.’
11. ‘As such
12. scientists from around the country can access the supercomputer for research through a competitive proposal process.’
13. ‘The new charges relate to Unix's ability to turn a cluster of PCs into a supercomputer powerful enough to use to develop nuclear missiles.’
14. ‘Together
15. Linux clusters and object-based storage clusters deliver commodity-like supercomputers able to keep pace with increasingly voracious applications.’
16. ‘Therefore
17. the cost associated with maintenance is low compared to expensive maintenance contracts researchers used to need for classic supercomputers.’
18. ‘Most supercomputers are built from commodity processors that are designed for a broad market and are manufactured in large numbers.’
19. ‘The interesting thing about a supercomputer with a lot of processors in it is that it is
20. in some ways
21. no different to a cluster of computers
22. communicating through a network
23. and working together on a single application.’
24. ‘However
25. this number is still theoretical
26. and because there is often a substantial gap between theory and practice
27. supercomputers must complete a series of calculations known as the Linpack benchmark to qualify for a chart ranking.’
28. ‘Grid computing seeks to create virtual supercomputers by expanding the clustering concept across multiple locations and domains.’
29. ‘His current interests are in high performance computer systems design
30. software engineering tools for programming parallel and distributed supercomputers and stained glass windows.’
31. ‘When completed
32. the machine will be one of the fastest
33. most powerful Linux-based supercomputers in the world…’
34. ‘The idea of a virtual supercomputer
35. powered by the spare processor cycles and bandwidth of thousands of PCs
36. is anything but new.’
37. ‘IBM has regained dominance on a list of the 500 fastest supercomputers and has also landed two unusual prototypes in the top 10.’
38. ‘It costs less to make a cluster computer out of a group of personal computers or workstations than to buy a supercomputer to perform enormous mathematical tasks.’
39. ‘In the past
40. supercomputers required the software to be handcrafted for the specific architecture of the supercomputer.’
41. ‘With so-called grid computing
42. even personal computers can serve as a virtual supercomputer if enough of them are linked together.’
