Ad-hoc arrays!

An attempt to transform a motley collection of laptops into the first
ad-hoc supercomputer is about to go ahead, thanks to software written
at the University of San Francisco.

On Saturday 3 April, over 1000 laptop owners will converge on the
university gym in an attempt to build a "flash mob" supercomputer. The
project's organisers hope that FlashMob will run fast enough to beat
supercomputers in the list of the world's top 500 supercomputers.

"We are attempting to popularise supercomputing," says John Witchel,
the USF graduate student running the project. "Ordinary individuals,
people with good ideas will now be empowered to put a flash mob
together to solve a specific problem."
