==Supercomputers== A number of [[supercomputer]]s have been built using Athlon chips, largely at universities. Among them: * In 2000, several American students claimed to have built the world's least expensive supercomputer by clustering 64 AMD Athlon chips together, also marking the first time Athlons had been clustered in a supercomputer.<ref name="Computing: 2000">{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Students build super cheap supercomputer |url=https://www.computing.co.uk/news/1862502/students-build-super-cheap-supercomputer|work=Computing |date=June 8, 2000 |access-date=August 2, 2020 }}</ref> * The PRESTO III, a [[Beowulf cluster]] of 78 AMD Athlon processors, was built in 2001 by the [[Tokyo Institute of Technology]]. That year it ranked 439 on the [[TOP500]] list of supercomputers.<ref name="The Register: 2001">{{cite news |author=Drew Cullen |title=AMD cluster sneaks in Supercomputer top 500 list |url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/07/02/amd_cluster_sneaks_in_supercomputer/ |work=[[The Register]] |date=July 2, 2001 |access-date=August 2, 2020 }}</ref> * In 2002, a "128-Node 256-Processor AMD Athlon Supercomputer Cluster" was installed at the [[Ohio Supercomputer Center]] at the [[University of Toledo]].<ref name="OSC: 2002">{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Ohio Supercomputer Center Awards Cluster to University of Toledo |url=https://www.osc.edu/press/ohio_supercomputer_center_awards_cluster_to_university_of_toledo |work=Ohio Supercomputer Center |date=August 6, 2004 |access-date=August 2, 2020 }}</ref> * [[Rutgers University]], Department of Physics & Astronomy.
