Most interestingly:<br /><br />-----------------------------------------------<br /><br />The computers that generated Lord of the Rings characters and places - Gollum, the Balrog, and Middle Earth - are now available for hire, for example. The cluster of 1,008 computers in New Zealand can be rented on-demand, on a per hour, per processor basis.<br /><br />Already the supercomputer is being used to design a super yacht and test gene sequencing algorithms. <br /><br /><br /> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4379261.stm
