What you see before you is a supercomputer, MareNostrum. Named for Our Sea, the Mediterranean, it's one of the most powerful machines in Europe.

Funny that Spaniards would use a name ("Our sea") that Rome used to call the Mediterranean Sea as if it was theirs (and in fact it pretty much was at the time).

Isn't this that computer from "Blade?" The "former chapel" part seals it.

It looks like a room that you may run through in Goldeneye on the N64 when playing multiplayer.

The people who work there need way cooler outfits to wear - I'll ask my clothes designer friend in Barcelona, Zuzana, to pop around...

And I thought the 8 cores on my PS3 was pretty powerful.
Let's overclock it!
Funny thing is that in like 20 years, this technology will be in desktops.
