On a english-speaking radio channel (Radio Riviera) I heared
something rather confusing with the basic contents that
Steven Hawking in Cambridge has a new supercomputer
worth US$ 3 million called Cosmos. It's about the
size of two vending machines. With that he is
going to find out the truth about the Big Bang.
Anybody know more about it?

From http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/cosmos/ (q.v.) "The new national cosmology supercomputer - COSMOS - is a Silicon Graphics Origin2000 with 32 MIPS R10000 processors, 8 Gbytes of main memory, 70 Gbytes of hard disk storage and a DLT tape drive stacker. An Indy workstation - microcosm - acts as console. Upon arrival it was the largest Origin2000 in the UK and the first double-rack version." | |||||
