The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.

THanks John. I don't really get how they do it though. Do they just connect all the macs together using lan or something?

Custom operating systems (generally *nix oriented, or derivatives of existing OS's) and a network of some sort. "LAN" in itself isn't a networking specification, it is a concept. Most clusters/parallel computing system use a flavor of ethernet to connect the machines together since it is quite fast and inexpensive.

Man 1100 G5's and 5.2 mil! Thats crazy, is there seriously going to be any applicatons that uses 3300ghz?

There are applications (not programs, but theoretical computations and systems) that make 3300 GHz worth of G5 look like Doom III on an Intel 8080.
Aspects of theoretical physics and cryptography and cryptanalysis are notorious for their need of supercomputers to make their discipline easier.

Hey John, I checked out the Medusa website and have come to 1 conclusion. Can we split it 50/50? I am sure 150 GigaFlops would be enough for each of us.
BTW how do they boot all the Medusa PCs up with out keyboards? Would not the bios lockup?

That's one hell of an oc' job you've got there tw34k, I wish I could get my hands on a watercooling kit... 
On the same lines I've seen Athlons oc'ed from 1.5 to 2.6Ghz if you can belive it.

That sounds awesome. Got any links to sites for that or was it something you and your friends did? I would like to see or read it.

It was quite a long time ago that I read about the thing in this site: tweakersasylum.com. quite a good community running there but I'm not sure if I can find the topic where it was mentioned.
