Pretty faggy name for a computer with 67 million cores and 4 billion times the amount of RAM found in servers today...

http://www.dailytech.com/IBM+Proposes+One+Computer+to+Run+Entire+Internet/article10612.htm

IBM launched an Epic project with an almost unfathomable goal -- to develop a single supercomputer capable of running the entire internet as a web application.

I can't see it getting off the ground - no admin in their right mind wants a single point of failure for something as massive as the Internet. But it's pretty neat to consider that IBM wants to, and actually can, build the equivalent of 8 million desktop PCs in a single room.

I'd make the "one server to rule them all" joke but Dailytech already did.
 
Did you just call a computer a fag? lol /sigh That's why I <3 teh Fly....no one is safe, nothing is sacred.... ;P
 
IBM using Epic? they deserved to be called that!
Spoiler:
sarcasm, not intended as a offensive slur


go go Fly
 
Are you going to call it "your precious" and be forced to cast into the fire from whence it came when it seeks to enslave all of humanity in darkness and malice?

Oh thats right. You can't just dump something on it because its not a big truck.

This is only one step closer to the machines taking over the world.

Machines already took over the world. 99% of all humans depend on machines. Be it an oven, a microwave, or a pacemaker.
 
Uzor, why you gotta go and bring practical discussion into this =P. This machine... it could calculate pi to ... forever!
 
I sense that it has already been used by IBM employees to download massive amounts of porn.
 
I agree lol...
 
Yeah, I was trying to explain why 67 million cores was impressive to this one stupid bitch I know and she's all, "well what would you use it for?", and I siad whatever the fuck you wanted to use it for. That's when my brother chimes in with "porn". Imagine the porn you could download with this thing, you wouldn't even be able to keep up with it's speed. You'd have to write a porn-downloading program.

You're still thinking inside the box. Code an AI that learns how to code a pornbot.

The pornbot could learn to download porn. Then you can have it learn what is good porn and what is bad porn. It might even learn how to cut the shit out of movies for maximum viewing throughput.
