New Fujitsu Supercomputer Has 23 Petaflop Potential

[ker2x]

Total system memory can scale from 12 Terabytes to over 6 Petabytes.

if each of us give $1.000.000, we may be able to buy one and pay the power and cooling for 1 year ?

Perhaps if we write a little program that generates random 3D formulas, that monster can find the holy fractal grail using pure brute computing force in no time...
(jokes aside, actually, this unholy and completely unorthodox approach can works very well with a GPU, hmm..)

But how do you measure the "holyness" of a 3D grail ?

I did that with 4d formulas of the form z=z^2+c filling a multiplication table with all possible "simple" definitions. Then code was automatically generated and compiled, an image was produced and analyzed to see if anything of interest was generated. These were saved to disc. I ran it for a while as I tried to figure out how many ways there are to fill a 4x4 grid with 8 symbols (1,i,j,k,-1,-i,-j,-k).  A bunch... I turned it off and haven't run it since.

Very simple!, if you take the holy fractal and cut it in half, you get a mandelbrot set in the  (x,y) plane, and the same in the (x,z) plane.. Also, the main cardioid must be a circle in the plane (y,z)..
Something like that (I think)
