SATEC Students Build Supercomputer with SciNet
Since the start of the year, on Thursdays after school, students at SATEC @ W. A. Porter Collegiate have met in their school's ICT lab to build and program a supercomputer of their own.
As computing grows more important — for creating the next Facebook or Google, or for designing bicycles, studying black holes, or improving Canadians' health — using a single computer just isn't enough. More and more, firms and researchers turn to "cluster computing", building a single supercomputer out of many individual computers.
