The first supercomputer was created in 2007 and consists of 16 PlayStation 3 consoles.
The goal was to create models of black hole collisions.
The waves form after a particularly violent astrophysical event, such as colliding and merging of two black holes.
Now the supercomputer has already made 200 games!
According to Dr. Khanna, a supercomputer is 10 times more potent than a single computer.

However, they are expensive.
Making a supercomputer requires many processors and a way to connect them.
The latest model, PlayStation 4, does not have this feature.
The University paid eight, and later Dr. Khanna bought himself four more consoles.
In 2010, the laboratory built its own supercomputer using 1,716 consoles to perform image processing for urban surveillance.
They signed a research and development agreement with Dr. Khannas team, donating 176 PlayStation 3.
Later this year, over 220 islands of the Laboratory of the Air Force should arrive.
An alternative is to switch to a better processor yet, such as a PC graphics card.
The next supercomputer we build will probably be made entirely of these cards, Khanna said.
