I've been just bored, drawing stuff, when I suddenly thought of a more green supercomputer. How cool would it be to have a top500 that runs on a few kilowatts? Take that, Roadrunner! :D

Yeah, that would be pretty cool.

I was thinking about, hypothetically, using an AMD Geode / AMD Shanghai quad-core / ATI R770 combo, so that the Geodes could run to save power, but when needed, the quad-cores and R770s could kick in and push what the computer needs to.

Once memristors start getting mass produced this should be no problem.

We have the tech to do it now...

I know but I'm just saying. Based on what I've been reading about memristors they could consume far less power and be vastly superior to today's supercomputers.
