We also need to wait for someone to decommission a working power plant. :)

Good point! It would be interesting to know what it actually took to run that setup. Man thats a lot of power. Wonder what the heat out put was when it was running full tilt? Did the have a mini nuke plant next door:)  [/quote]Old James ID: 1352839 · |

Hmmm. I don't think my APC Smart UPS would cope .... Think it would blow a fuse if you plugged it in a wall outlet:) [/quote]Old James ID: 1352850 · |

Also need land for more floor space and the air conditioning plant. Distributed computing is winning out. Einstein recently passed 1 Petaflop with 280k active hosts. BOINCStats is not showing a host count for SETI, wonder what our combined power is? http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ Another Fred Support SETI@home when you search the Web with GoodSearch or shop online with GoodShop.

2.35MW - not that big, or at least in my terms "not that big". About half the power required for one of my toys - no nuclear power station, just a nice humming diesel engine will do the job. Getting rid of the heat in a controlled manner is a bit more fun - there's at least one data centre that exports its waste heat to other buildings in the area - great in the winter, but a bit on the warm side in the summer (if we ever get one that is) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?

Must check to see what woollies I need for CERN next week.
