| As such, scientists from around the country can access the supercomputer for research through a competitive proposal process. |
| With so-called grid computing, even personal computers can serve as a virtual supercomputer if enough of them are linked together. |
| This configuration can achieve supercomputer processing rates at a fragment of the supercomputer's price tag. |
| So far, pi has been calculated to 1.24 trillion decimal places with the aid of a supercomputer. |
| Each processor is constructed on a single silicon chip, so the supercomputer is essentially 12, 288 interconnected chips. |
| The idea of a virtual supercomputer, powered by the spare processor cycles and bandwidth of thousands of PCs, is anything but new. |
