The SDSC

Yesterday afternoon, we went to the San Diego Supercomputer Center right in UCSD, outside the Elenor Roosevelt College. Hopefully it's not the last field trip we take... It was somewhat interesting... We went to the machine room and walked around a little. That part was pretty cool, seeing all the supercomputers. After that they had a little presentation, which we already saw at a Discovery lecture, and a demo of a game they were working on, which was definitely not super. The tour overall was poorly done. It was just looking at some computers and a kiddie-oriented presentation. It didn't really show how special these computers were... just some cool stuff, but nothing spectacular. It would have been much better if there did a demo of its capabilities there. Pretty uninteresting, except for seeing the computers.
