Microwulf: Breaking the $100/GFLOP Barrier
,----[ Quote ]
| There have been previous efforts at either small transportable clusters or
| clusters with a very low $/GFLOP. While I don't want to list every one of
| these efforts, I do think it's worthwhile to acknowledge these efforts. In
| the category of transportable clusters, the nominees are:
|
| * Little Fe
| * The Ultimate Linux Lunchbox

| In January of 2007, they began to piece together their system and by March,
| they were running tests to see just what Microwulf could do. In the end, the
| project came in under budget with Microwulf donning a price-tag of just
| $2470.

| Adams and Brom managed to build Microwulf so that it could plug into one
| standard 120V wall outlet. This feature only enhances the system’s
| portability, allowing it to be taken to classrooms and other research labs
| where large power supplies are unavailable.
