Supercomputers versus the home geek
My "fill in name here" home computer is faster than your "fill in
name here" home computer! There was a brief pause in this snail
versus snail argument while another hundred teraflops blew
past, over their heads. Oh yeah, well mine looks prettier than
yours, so there! Another hundred teraflops blew by but neither
zealot really noticed. So the argument continued: "My system,
which I had no part in designing, is better and faster than your
system which you had no part in designing." "Therefore, I am
smarter than you." The two snail machines and their vociferous
owners chugged along like two cows pulling a plow. Meanwhile,
above the little dustcloud of discontent, another hundred
teraflops passed by while the little "home computers" below
fought it out for their rightful place in the mud.
