The Earth Simulator
One of the highlights of our trip to Japan was a visit to the Earth Simulator. This was once number one on the Top500, before BlueGene came along. Still, it is an impressive machine. (More images where this came from.)
The Earth Simulator
Buildings in the area have to deal with earthquakes...
Building Suspension!
Access into the computer is via a bridge. The stub end is connected to the computer, and in the event of an earth quake, the rest of it is designed to detach and fall off. So in the event of an earth quake, one of the safest places to be is in the computer!
