"This past winter Calvin College professor Joel Adams and then Calvin senior
Tim Brom built Microwulf, a portable supercomputer with 26.25 gigaflops peak
performance, that cost less than $2,500 to construct, becoming the most
cost-efficient supercomputer anywhere that Adams knows of. "It's small
enough to check on an airplane or fit next to a desk," said Brom. Instead of
a bunch of researchers having to share a single Beowulf cluster
supercomputer, now each researcher can have their own."
