ME asked:


Alright, so for an independent study at school I’m considering building a “supercomputer” by linking up 25 or so old OLD computers (400 MHZ avg). There are two ways I was planning to do this, and I have no idea how to do either. I was either going to use the distributed computing idea and link them up on a network, or somehow link the processors together. Unfortunately, though, I have no idea where to start and have never done anything like this… can anyone help me out or give me a site that will help? I looked briefly at a beowolf cluster, but I’m not sure if that will work… the computers are all different.

Thanks!

Where do the currency exchange numbers come from? It’s not some guy setting it to certain price every day? It fluctuates in a matter of seconds? So what exactly calculates the number every second? Is it some kind of 1 supercomputer? Or how does it work?
