| With so-called grid computing, even personal computers can serve as a virtual supercomputer if enough of them are linked together. |
| Each processor is constructed on a single silicon chip, so the supercomputer is essentially 12, 288 interconnected chips. |
| A custom supercomputer uses processors that have been specialized for scientific computing. |
| As such, scientists from around the country can access the supercomputer for research through a competitive proposal process. |
| The new charges relate to Unix's ability to turn a cluster of PCs into a supercomputer powerful enough to use to develop nuclear missiles. |
| This kind of computing can transform a local network of workstations into a virtual supercomputer. |
