Supercomputer

Yesterday my CS 330 professor took our class on a little field trip to see BYU's Supercomputer, Marylou. To be completely correct we only saw one part of Marylou. It is divided up between several different locations on BYU campus but is all the same computer.

It was so awesome. I've never seen anything like it before in my life. The floor was a grate where cooled air was blowing through. There were rows computer parts with wires plugging in everywhere and lights flashing on and off. There was an exhaust area where all the heat generated by hundreds of processors running at the same time was being removed. I immediately fell in love.

Who knew that such a beautiful thing existed in this world? I think I have found my calling in life.
