They are also using Linux, which is a free, open source operating system.<\/p>\n<p>The system will use 300 to 320 kilowatts at full bore and about 10 percent to 30 percent of that in standby, when most supercomputers are using 5 megawatts, Linderman said. However, much of the time the cluster will only be running the nodes it needs and it will be turned off when not in use. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stripes.com\/article.asp?section=140&amp;article=67550\">via Stars and Stripes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/fhAv8x4F4lGO2hReRTzUJlLifPQ\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/f1e40_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/fhAv8x4F4lGO2hReRTzUJlLifPQ\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/f1e40_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=AXovhPQazHg:qEByytPKSkI:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/9effc_crunchgear?i=AXovhPQazHg:qEByytPKSkI:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=AXovhPQazHg:qEByytPKSkI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/9effc_crunchgear?i=AXovhPQazHg:qEByytPKSkI:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=AXovhPQazHg:qEByytPKSkI:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/579f2_crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Buy This Item: <a class=\"buy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/buy.php\" ><span style=\"color: #33bc03\">[Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchgear.com\/2010\/02\/01\/the-air-force-connects-2000-ps3s-to-create-a-supercomputer\/\" >Read Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that the PS3 was military ordnance?
