| MIT Students Power Supercomputer With Bicycles |
|---|
A team of ten MIT students powered a supercomputer for 20 minutes by pedaling bicycles. They duly claimed the world record for human-powered computing (HPC).
They powered a SiCortex SC648 supercomputer with a Linux cluster of 648 CPUs and almost 1TB of main memory in a single cabinet. The system is low-powered and draws 1,200 watts without needing special power supplies or cooling.
