Linus Torvalds and Gordon Bell, the inventor of the minicomputer, have unveiled a compact supercomputer.
The machine was unveiled by the two computing visionaries on Friday at the US National Research Library in California.
It is called Green Destiny and is based on a Beowulf cluster system, a type of parallel computing. It consists of small servers which are stripped to their bare essentials so they consume less power than large supercomputers.
