Professor Benjamin Wells (University of San Francisco) gave a presentation on how a machine used to atack German ciphers of WWII (Collosus) , were actually the worlds first personal computer. He went on to theorize how multiple Collosus (Collosi?) could be linked together to have a parallel clustered supercomputer.Originally posted by murakami
(Presentation title: "Colossus: OK, maybe it was a computer, but a parallel, clustered supercomputer?"
It was a pretty cool presentation offered at the first flashmob supercomputing event.
