According to my previous post about Bandwidth Minimization Problem and Windows Supercomputing Contest 2006 at Kasetsart University, the committees has already received all codes including the one I mentioned early. Okay, let me express how it looks like. Firstly, I tested them all on 8-processor node, dual core, dual processor, and Hyper-Threading, one by one with 8-node graph. As a result, the codes could be classified into 4 classes.

All you might have ever heard about Final Fantasy Saga. It is a kind of Japanese Starwars with so long story in game history. The upcoming release is Final Fantasy XII. My most impression about this game is its graphics. If USA has Pixar, Japan has Squaresoft. I don’t know much about PS, PS2, XBox, or any other game console. However, I’m so sure that all movies in each game are not rendered from wired frame in real-time. This is just my guess. All movies must be pre-rendered on render farm. The result of these games is showing the power of supercomputing. Please take a look at the latest trailer of FF XII.
