A farm of computers, Jim Kent
Description:
Interviewee: Jim Kent.
Jim Kent talks about a farm of computers.
Transcript:
We had to get it to run on actually a whole farm of computers. We had a hundred computers to do this. And this was actually, it was kind of an interesting farm. It was one we had borrowed. They were machines that had arrived a little bit early for use in the instructional labs at UCSC. The University of California, Santa Cruz]. So we absconded them for, for about three months to work on the human genome project instead, because they weren't needed till the next quarter.
