Video: Time-lapse of Sun Powered Red Sky Installation

Red Sky, Sandia's Sun Constellation Supercomputer is now the 10th fastest supercomputer on the Top500 list, with a sustained performance of 429.9 TFlops. As the fastest Nehalem-based system on the planet, Red Sky uses Sun's new 5600 Cooling Door System to achieve new levels of energy efficiency for a system of this size. By Sandia's own calculations, besides energy efficiency, the cooling door system saves over 5 million gallons a year of water compared to traditional air-cooled systems.

Thanks for sharing. Quite interesting.

There are ladders everywhere. I wonder how much installation time is spent going up and down and moving them around...
