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.
The Green Destiny has 240 server blades from RLX Technologies which are all fitted onto a server rack no bigger than an average wardrobe. The processors are Crusoe chips from Transmeta.
