Supercomputing, There's an App For That 66
aarondubrow writes "Researchers at MIT have created an experimental system for smart phones that allows engineers to leverage the power of supercomputers for instant computation and analysis. The team performed a series of expensive high-fidelity simulations on the Ranger supercomputer to generate a small "reduced model" which was transferred to a Google Android smart phone. They were then able to solve engineering and fluid flow problems on the phone and visualize the results interactively. The project proved the potential for reduced order methods to perform real-time and reliable simulations for complicated problems on handheld devices."

Go into settings and select "scientific mode". That makes a lot more buttons appear.

CUDA isn't supercomputing. CUDA is more like super-doopercomputing. And it's a fucking crime that nVidia isn't doing better in the market with it.
