Apparently once you get locked into a serious computational network buildout, the tendency is to push it as far as you can:
6 nodes, 8 hard drives, 10 cores. Not too bad for a collection of processing I was able to assemble from what I had lying around the house. I haven’t even dug out the old Vaios or tried to get the Nokia N800 running Java either…. the night isn’t over yet. (the photo set)
That is an assignment with overtones of extreme personal danger.
This configuration can be described in four words “scary indoor obstacle course” I think it’s why my ankle is bruised….
