Swedish Superprocessor

If it was not for the price would this be the perfect upgrade for my Folding@home machine :).

It's not the real truth, to take advantage of this superprocessor must the application be written in a language similiar to C, but this processor may be interesting for scientists who writes their own applications (and other supercomputer users aswell).

Pretty kewl, too bad all the extra articles written about the chip are all in swedish and I can't get a good translation, bummer, guess I should learn swedish, heh heh. Off to google for Mitrion. . . :)


:mad: Arrrrrgh, no joy, if anybody else has any other info, I'd like to see it!

I can give you a rough translation of the articles since I do speak a little bit swedish. But the articles did not tell much interesting facts, if you would like more information in english then why not send them a mail and ask for it ? :).
