ADD TOGETHER ALL BASIC STAMP SUPERCOMPUTERS TO CREATE A SUPERMACHINE
GIANT BASIC STAMP SUPERMACHINE GSS WITH 81 STAMPS
The BASIC Stamp Supermachine
is a demonstration of basic
principles to take some characteristics of a supercomputer, in
particular the notion of larger multiples of relatively simple
processors communicating over a common bus, each doing a portion of a
task in parallel.
IF you added together all BASIC Stamp supermachines ever made, how many BASIC Stamps would result in the giant machine?
WE speculated about the next BASIC Stamp Supermachine, what it would contain for cores, and how it would be constructed. Now we know. The new Giant Basic Stamp Supermachine has a sum total of 81 Stamp cores created by networking together other Stamp supermachines.
— The Giant Basic Stamp Machine has a sum total of 81 Stamps (and 1 Propeller) —
Do the math below. (the names have new genre references)

THE GSS
The GSS, with 81 Stamps, functions in deterministic parallel thinking. Each Supermachine hosts to the others. The entire machine can comprise partitions and sections. Power consumption is minimal. The average BS2 is quoted by Parallax as drawing 3 mA when running. The full machine based on the BS2 would draw about 243 mA and can run from a single lab bench regulated power supply. The actual supermachine consists of a mix of Stamps models, some drawing more power like the BS2px (55 mA) and some less like the BS1 (1 mA).
