"Suggestions for names a new computer cluster at Harvard"
Sounds like you really do need help! You might want to call one of them 'bright spark' or 'Photon'. As photons come from... you could name them after a cluster of stellar objects; the shiny ones. Or you could make use of all those annoying 2 letter scrabble words or periodic symbols. |

Carbonic ?
----------------------------------------Perhaps multiple machines could be named using the modified or unmodified names of the elements in Group 14 of the Periodic Table : Carbon, Silicon, Germanium, Tin, Lead, Ununquadium. Next one could be Siliconic (or sillyconic if you're pushing carbon rather than silicon), then Germaniac, Tinny, ... [OT]Just an idea: Since many of the models that we are crunching are of hypothetical organic (carbon-based) compounds, would it be useful to extend the work to silicon-based molecules eg silicones (rather than crystalline silicon, which is expensive), and are there other carbon-silicon hybrids that may also be of interest?[/OT] [Edit 1 times, last edit by Rickjb at Mar 2, 2012 4:59:22 AM] |

Or you could go for a compression of "Clean Energy" to Clenergy.
And then there is always the word Turtledove coined, "Damfino". Just think of the enjoyment you would feel when asked by someone higher up on academic food chain asks what you are working on and you can reply, damfino. |

Call 'em by an acronym: B.O.M.B. (Big Oil's major bane).

Who is the person that first started your lab at Harvard, how about after him, or some easy version of his name? Of course if something already bears their name that is not a good idea.
----------------------------------------Another idea is who discovered photosynthesis as the name of the process converting sunlight into the food plants use? You could use a variation of their name. One other idea is to ask for a donation from someone and use a variation of their name. Of course that 'someone' would have to be THE PERSON, or group, that paid for the new server! For instance Meg Whitman is the new CEO of HP, if they were to give you a Server farm that fits your needs, you could call it the 'Meginator'.
