An interesting thing about this is how Google donated years of CPU time to this project. It makes you wonder what else Google is using otherwise-unused CPU time for.



Years of CPU time is not a lot in google. You only need hundreds of CPUs to run for a couple of days.

Though not everyone has easy access to this resource, this project is meaningful enough to get approved for the resource allocation.


This seems to be first rate academic wankery to me. If I am missing someething, please share with me what qualifies this project as "meaningful enough" in your view.


At least there are a countless number of people who want to know the answer.
