Got CPU?

Sun annouced today a new service.. Grid Computing. It’s not a new idea, but I do believe they are the first to offer it publically. For $1 per CPU per day, you can crunch your numbers or whatever with massive speed. I found this quote to be pretty entertaining:

“Sun has spent the last 18 months trying to make this happen. First, it battled the basic logistics behind creating a massive publicly accessible cluster, then it battled the government. Regulators didn’t care for the idea that rogue nations could log on to the Sun cluster and design nuclear weapons or run dirty bomb simulations in their spare time.”

Now I really hope for Sun’s sake their equipment isn’t used to destroy the world, the the possibilities are endless at this point!
