coondoggie writes "If you can squish all the processing power of say an IBM Roadrunner supercomputer inside a 19-inch box and make it run on about 60 kilowatts of electricity, the government wants to talk to you. The extreme scientists at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency this week issued a call for research that might develop a super-small, super-efficient super beast of a computer. Specifically DARPA's Ubiquitous High Performance Computing (UHPC) desires will require: -New system-wide technology approaches specifically including hardware and software co-design to minimize energy dissipation per operation and maximize energy efficiency, with a 50GFLOPS per watt goal. http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/43073"

  • That's odd. *I* want a 19" low-power-drain supercomputer too! If anyone has the resources, clout, and will to execute a research project like this, DARPA has my vote.
