Foundry Switches to Power "FlashMob" Supercomputer

Foundry Networks is supplying its Layer 2/3 Ethernet switches for FlashMob I, a supercomputer to be created on 03-April-2004 at the University of San Francisco by hundreds of volunteers using their ordinary laptop PCs. The “FlashMob” computer uses the combined processing power of all the donated laptops to work on a single problem. The Foundry FastIron 1500 Layer 2/3 switches will be interconnected via 10 Gigabit Ethernet to enable a very high-speed switch fabric. http://www.flashmobcomputing.orghttp://www.foundrynetworks.com
