Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will be upgrading its world famous Mac supercomputer to the latest Xserve G5s from Apple. "By moving to the thinner servers, the supercomputer will consume less power and generate less heat, said Srinidhi Varadarajan, assistant professor of computer science, college of engineering, at Virginia Tech. 'It cuts the system's size down by a factor of three,' Varadarajan said. 'The new system will take much less power and generate less heat and free up space.'"
