If I could get a rack like that in the building, I'd be happy lol

It is worth looking at some of the related developments in programming these beasts. Geomerix is a spin-out from the radio-astronomy department of the Cavendish lab at Cambridge (UK), providing a convenient environment for programming these problems (magnetic field modelling, graphics etc.) using geometric algebra. Apparently a lot of 3D work is simpler in 5D....

There are a lot of developers out here that are capable of multiprocessing coding of vector arrays (as we called array processors in the seismic realm). After working in a field that needs such things for a few years we get laid off once our immediate task is done and find other work in multiprocessing arrays of boxes on a net, or virtualization, or trying to explain to customers why clicking on image filled emails is a bad thing.

Perhaps there will be a steady need for our skills.
