World’s Largest Reboot

From yesterday’s El Reg:

Reno 911: World’s Largest Reboot Underway.

Subtitled, “The sound of 10,000 OSes clapping”.

Yes, Supercomputing 07 went through what could be the world’s largest, collective reboot of all time. At about noon today, the immense amount of hardware here in Reno killed the power system and then killed it again a few seconds later. Lights went out. The machines stopped humming. And a few claps scattered throughout the crowd - a machismo kind of thing no doubt: my cluster is too big for your power station.
