What can 660 computer geeks do in a gym? Build a super computer, of course. Clever.
But, hey, why not try to build a supercomputer from roaming Tablet PCs? What a flashmob this would be! Imagine a Tablet PC convention event where we could all meet--I guess anywhere that there's wireless access--and try to construct a supercomputer on the fly. To top it off, once we get things running we could all walk down the hall or to the cafeteria or wherever--while the calculations are running. It would be a stand-up, mobile supercomputer :-)
The throughput required across the wireless network would demand some creative thinking. And I bet it's going to take a fair number of Tablet PCs to get an honorable mention in the supercomputer directory. But it sure sounds like fun trying.
