My name is Morgan Bishop and we are here at the High Performance computing affiliated resource center here in Rome NY
and behind me is the Condor computing cluster. We ran over two miles of cable
to connect the condor cluster all together. That's composed on 1,716 Playstation III's,
156 general purpose graphics processing units and 84 dual Xeon processors.
We were able to compile a computer capable of 500 trillion floating operations per second.
We can actually take part of this supercomputer, fly it on a plane, generate the imagery and
give that back to the analyst in real time. Using a high performance computer of this size we can solve those problems
that need to be solved in a fraction of the time, we went from days to seconds.
