This talk will be about an odd idea: what would happen if you put a little over 1000 Macs in a room and plugged them together? Dr. Srinidhi Varadarajan and al. decided to find out the answer and the result has been very impressive. They built nothing more than the world's third fastest computer and the first academic machine to break the 10 Teraflop barrier. I will cover the history of this project and the current use of System X.
