Officially, Jerry’s system was "on loan" from the SESAME Collaboratory, a research net in which Jerry had fairly good standing, but nobody was going to come and repossess it. Nobody but the Troupe gave a damn about Jerry’s box, really. It was stone obvious now that the problems of climate modeling simply weren’t going to yield to raw computational power. Power wasn’t the bottleneck at all; the real bottleneck was in the approaches, the approximations, the concepts, and the code.
