FlashMobComputing
On April 3, 2004 University of San Francisco hosted the first Flash Mob Computing computer, called FlashMob I, with the purpose of creating one of the Top 500 Supercomputers on the planet. Over 700 computers came into the gym and we they were able to hook up 669 to the network.
Their best Linpack result was a peak rate of 180 Gflops using 256 computers, however a node failed 75% through the computation. So the best completed result was 77 Gflops using 150 computers. There biggest challenge was identifying flakey computers and determining the best configuration for running the benchmark.
For more information check out the FlashMobComputing.org. Hopefully they will do it again next year if they do it.
