    Default A Green Supercomputer

    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!

    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.

    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.
