What is "stallo"

In the folklore of the Sami, a Stallo (also Stallu or Stalo) is a large human-like creature who likes to eat people and who therefore is usually in some form of hostilities with a human. Stallos are clumsy and stupid, and thus humans often gain the upper hand over them. The Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve contains the remains of ancient, large building foundations, considered by the Sami to be the remains of Stallone dwellings. There is also a huge stone placed on some small pebbles on top near Lake Giengeljaure named stalostenen, which literally means stone Stallo. Legend dictates that a Stallo would have placed a stone here to prove his strength.

Stallo is a supercomputer at the University of Tromsø. It was put into use on the 10 December 2007, then as the world 87th most powerful supercomputer, and reached, in June 2008, a peak of 62nd in the TOP500 list of supercomputers.
