Link: http://vis.eng.uci.edu/cg/projects/hiperwall/ A team of researchers at the University of California Irvine (UCi) have created a 50 display grid driven simultaneously by a cluster of 25 dual 2.7GHZ powermac G5 systems, together displaying a combined resolution of over 200 megapixels. Yikes! But, they should have taken the display housings off, who needs the bezel with a project like this?

If you couldn't render Bryce faster with a networked system of 25 dual 2.7GHZ powermac G5 systems...you're doing something incredibly wrong. AS

Something that would take three hours to render on my current machine would take six minutes on that cluster. Neato :/

And the latest Macs are dual 2.5 Ghz dual core PPC chips. Intinsically, 4 CPUs in one machine. With 25 of them linked together it would be more efficient to cool them with one of those Hollywood wind machines.
