toofasttim Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks Martin, you put me out of my misery. I thought it might be GCHQ. No, my professional interest is: http://www.esrf.eu/ (45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot 3 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 High-energy Physics.......... FANTASTIC Tim I didn't realise you were a nerd try....www.cern.ch and www.fnal.gov these are fun sites as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Not a physicist though. I design electronics for said institutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabie Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 go ahve some fun looking thorugh http://www.secret-bases.co.uk/ lots of google earth / etc finds of things that don't exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tell you but...... Presently working for a company that manufactures teslameters (guess what they measure). High energy physics institutes (for those that don't know) use magnets, big magnets and lots of them. Also working on instrumentation for ITER (http//www.iter.org). Will be visiting JET (http://www.jet.efda.org/) in 10 days time as well as some of those institutes listed above. Donald, for somebody who plays Tetris on a Cray this is a bit rich I'll bet that you have one of the few Crays in the UK, you and GCHQ!

I always thought Teslas were the girls OMD sang about......it explains your magnetic personality Tim Think we only use the Cray for space invaders now, it was deemed too slow for our needs and we now have one NEC SX-8 and 2 SX-6 Super chappies for Tetris, doom and occasionally forecast modeling, if the climate change mob don't get to it first..... Seriously they run on "Nodal" processors at huge speeds and processing power of 19.5 TeraFLOPS, pretty poor when beside Blue Gene but it seems to do the job...for now Edited September 15, 2007 by Slapshot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
