The Commodore 64 Parallel Super-Computer!
The Vintage Computer Festival is planning to unveil the prototype of a
massively parallel Commodore 64 supercomputer at VCF X. The hardware
and networking design is being finalized and the drivers and software
specifications are being developed. Currently, we are in need of
sixteen Commodore 64 consoles for the initial prototype. These
consoles should be fully functional (including the graphics and sound
chips and all interface ports). All contributions will be acknowledged
by naming each donated Commodore 64 node on the network in honor of
the donor. Once the experimental 16-node cluster is debugged and fully
functional, we'll seek to expand the system to the full sixty-four
nodes. Those wishing to contribute to the project should send e-mail
to vcf@vintage.org.
