Largest privately owned cluster claim
I moved this claim here for discussion: "This is the largest computer cluster owned by an individual." I do not know of a way of verifying this statement, but given that there are some very wealthy collectors of supercomputers and massively parallel machines, and also given that there's no statement in the claim on how the size of two clusters could be compared, I do not feel there's enough information to justify this statement in the article. I welcome a discussion here about this. For one thing, the processors in this cluster are very old (PII 450MHz and Alphas), so a much smaller cluster of modern machines would likely have superior compute performance. --Zippy 19:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
has received a patent from the US Patent Office.
Has John Koza received a patent for the machine, or has the machine received a patent for something it invented? Can a machine be granted a patent? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.144.43 (talk) 09:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- The claim is that something invented by the machine has received (or has been submitted for) a patent. The machine is nicknamed "The Invention Machine." I don't have the details on the status of the patent. -LesPaul75talk 08:26, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
