Processor designing. Almost the same thing as Sun does to simulate their
new UltraSPARC CPUs.
They have nineteen maxed-out SunFire 6800 servers, along with a quite
big Linux-cluster with thousands of processors. Apparently they switch
very rapidly between next generation of GPU's, so they tend to need new
boxes every time for even more complex computations. This movie brings
you into their machineroom with a guy that shows us every system there.
It's... massive.

Perhaps someone could convert this to a little more standard format?
